They've been losing traffic at a fast clip for the past year or so. It used to be easy to find an active game there at just about any stakes. No longer.
I do prefer their SnG structure to any other I've played at. But whereas you used to have to race people for an empty seat, now it takes forever to fill up an SnG.
It's really a shame, as I used to love the site. I like the tourney structure, I like the interface, I like the speed hands are dealt. But something happened to drive people away. I'd like to say the problems they were having with the site crashing for a day or two at a time a few months ago killed them. But the exodus had started before that.
Maybe they need to seriously rethink their bonus structure to start getting people back. They tweaked it a little recently by allowing you to clear by playing tournaments, but they're going to need more than that to get people back.
