The merge onto the Cereus network should be happening sometime today. I only loaded AP to see if there was word of it, and they are closing down cashier transations between 5pm and 10:30pm EST, so I imagine it'll be happening around then.
Just throwing it out there.

Cool, we now have a cheating conglomorate. Always handy to try some new bots, they don't mind.
Seriously hope they learned their lesson. I will never play there but maybe the new players will not be let down by more scandels.

I must have missed something.. So there were really programs on UB where you could see the hole cards??

UB is down during the upgrade, so when it's back up, that means the merger's happened. AP shouldn't experience but very intermittent periods of downtime.

So I was talking with AP support today and, for the first time ever, the sucked.
I was basically asking them what Cereus will change, and they basically said nothing but the player pool.
So, sadly, no more promotions for us just yet

Yeah. Their sucking wasn't what they were saying, it's just that each response took about 5 minutes, I was asked to "wait a minute" at least 5 times, and eventually I just gave up.

Yesssss finally!!!
On a related note, it's silly for any of you guys to intentionally avoid ab/ub. Is it because you're afraid there will still be superusers, because you don't want anything to do with a company that allowed that to happen, or for other reasons? All I'm sayin is they have really soft games, really good support, and really fast withdrawals.
