Hi TGF’s,
We have so many things going on here in TGFville,
I don’t know where to start. Let’s start with
the important stuff.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TGF’s!
This Thursday, May 8th TrueGoldFriends
turns 3. The staff would like to thank each and
every one of you for your continued friendship
and support. This has been a wonderful 3 years
for us and we know, if it wasn’t for you, our
friends, we wouldn’t even have a league.
To show you how much we appreciate you, we will
be hosting sever al tourneys on that day giving
out tons of bux. So check the calendar often.
NEW MEMBERS!
Welcome to our internet family! We are happy you
are a part of the best league in pogo land. If
you have any questions, concerns, or ideas,
please contact any staff member. We are all here
to help, so just give us a shout.
CONGRATULATIONS!
A big Congrats to Kevin (Klesage8) on your
promotion to HA aka Horses A ummm I mean Head
Administrator. Kevin has been with us since
almost the beginning. He found us on a league
forum when we were begging for help with the
main page. He’s done great and has come a long
way baby! We are very happy for you and know
you’ll do us proud. He’s already brainstorming
so everyone watch out for the big explosions.
LOL!
Also, a big Congrats and WTG to Paula
(HiStress16) on your promotion to
Administrator. Paula has been with us for over 2
years now and very new to leagues. She’s come a
very long way since then, a real pro. She will
be in charge of new TD’s and the rule books. So
don’t hesitate to ask her anything if you have
any questions.
Welcome Back to the Hosting Staff Amanda (Wildthing).
We sure have missed you. I know you’ll do great!
SPECIAL MENTION!
We wish to thank you Gino (2Q) for the wonderful
compliment you gave us, your staff, on the
running of the league. Many members ask about
you and are praying for you to get healthy soon.
We miss your hiney and can’t wait till you are
hosting again. You owe many lickiepoos also so
hurry back!
UPCOMING NEWS!
Cases / MyLeague is in the process of beta
testing a new design and format. They are in the
finals stages of testing and plan to implement
it in all leagues by the end of May. We don’t
know for sure exactly but when we do know for
sure, we will send out step by step
instructions.
All leagues will be required to use the same
format which seems pretty easy to navigate. The
big difference is how you register for
tournaments. All you would have to do is use one
log in to see tourney calendar, stats, and bux.
When you see a tourney you want to play in, just
click the link and you are in. Also when logged
in, your ladder bux shows right there so you
will always know how many you have.
In preparation of this change, Kevin has made a
special TGF Toolbar for your convenience. Just
click on the link and download the toolbar to
your desktop for easy access. Once downloaded,
double click to install it. Click Run, Click
Allow if you have Vista, Click Next then Click
Install. As it’s installing, it will close all
your Internet Explorer windows. This will also
work with Foxfire. When it’s done installing, an
IE window will pop up to display the toolbar.
This is what it looks like…..
The picture on the left takes you directly to
our main league page when you click on it.
Game Rooms Link is the backdoors to all our
tourney rooms. Click on the arrow and all our
rooms will be displayed. Next is the Pogo
Quick Links. This will take you to the Pogo
website and also directly to your Friends List.
Next is the Tools Link. This has a Token
Count Score Sheet and a 3 Card Bingo Score Sheet
just in case you want to keep score yourself.
Next is the Tourney Calendar Link, one
click and you will see the current day’s
tourneys. Then next link takes you to the
Members Pictures site. The last link is
Settings. This helps you update or uninstall the
toolbar with a click of the mouse.
The TGF toolbar is completely safe and secure.
When Kevin changes something or adds something
to it, you will get a message that pops up
letting you know there’s an update and just
click ok and it will close your IE and download
the update. If you have any questions or
problems, please contact Kevin or Kim and they
will be more than happy to help you. Here’s the
link …

SPECIAL TOURNAMENTS!
We are always trying to think up ways to make
tourneys more fun and challenging. Keep your eye
on the calendar for special events. You just
never know when one of our wonderful hosts might
just pop one in. If you have a special request,
please IM one of us and we will be more than
happy to set one up for you. Our contact
information is at the end of this newsletter.

We are adding new games all the time and it
seems that a good many of them are token count
games. It helps us when you help watch the chat
and assist other members during these tourneys.
The staff has asked me to thank you for your
patience in these tourneys as they are very time
consuming. Remember we do not get paid for
hosting we do it because we love to host and we
love our TGF’s friends. We appreciate you for
all the support you give us and please know that
we know that you are the best.
If you need bux or any kind of help, please
contact us and we will be glad to assist you.
