    Absorb my posts #33 onward, although taking longer than most would like, we really are approaching a return to the norm.

    At this point I’d prefer the gift cards. At least it’s something

    That will not literally happen, but simply re-order after store re-opens. Mid-October coincides with sale of site.

    Most would prefer not to be forced to shop at Amazon. i think gift cards would have drastically killed contest participation.

    i cant simply re-order what i bought, because there is no guarantee it is available “when” the store reopens

    That's pretty good.
    I was looking at SBR as a glass 1/10 full right now.

    LT needs to assess a game misconduct for failure to follow simple instructions.

    Nah glass definitely more than half full at SBR right now; sadly its warm Natural Bohemian that somebody put a cigarette out in.

    But hey - half full is half full right?

    What is the hold up of opening the store? Keep in mind that this is an online store that already has infrastructure in place.

    I have seen Brick & Mortar stores being renovated from scratch and ready to open with merchantise in less than 6 months.

    I have seen Walmarts being built from ground up in less than 6 months and operate.

    At this point it looks like we will send a man on Mars before the store will open.

    Both are currently in the planning phase and both have -110 odds.

    Their system asked a confusing question that would have created a second entry if I had clicked the wrong button too.

    There should be a link on the main dashboard page he sees to merge his now two accounts on the site.

    Will do. I filled one out for another site which I guess linked with SBR. Didn't mean to get Bosco's panties in a bunch.

    He was just referring to boscokid being the one pointing out the double entry in Post #46, so no big deal.

    OK while I still do not have an ETA for store re-opening, I do have some clarity:

    The USA Stores and non-USA Stores will look very similar, meaning merch will be in Non-USA unlike before

    BTC is coming back and will be available for BOTH USA and non-USA

    There is a chance BTC will not be available immediately when the store opens, but IF that is the case, it would not be long until it is.

    I just wish I had a firm store re-open date, all I keep hearing is Spring. I guess the bright side is that could mean April or May

    With the store being down over half a year, seems like everyone should get a free six month extension to their current Pro Membership.

    If someone has already asked this, I missed the answer. How bout poker rollovers, if I remember correctly you have 6 months to complete them? Next month I have quite a few un-completed, that will be at the 6 month mark. Will they be extended or lost ???
