Pogogirl: sorry, I’m closing this weekend thread out right now. Feel free to come back next Friday and ask your question again; I usually close these weekend threads out on Sunday evenings around 9-10pm EST.

Either way, my tips for Rainy Day are always the same. Use your free spaces and use your undo button liberally. Good luck!

Thanks to everyone who came and participated — it’s been a nice relaxing holiday weekend around here! See you next weekend!

Hi, all! I could really use some tips on an old Mix-n-Match badge that I bought without really reading the challenge first (learned my lesson on that one!) It is the “Web in the Window” badge for Rainy Day Spider Solitaire, and you have to win 18 games on “Hard.” Now, the good news is that I can win games on “Normal” difficulty level. However, I really can’t win them on “Hard.” ANY suggestions would be MOST appreciated.

Happy weekend all!

hi all,

I’ve been a member since Oct 2001. I just found the site by accident, I love all games and was looking for a site with many to choose from. First game i played was word whomp, then poppit!! Then I found word riot and thought i’d died and gone to heaven!!! Was the best game EVER!

So when club pogo became club pogo, I hesitated, but figured I’d give it a try. Right after I joined pogo took word riot off the site!! : ( I was devastated, but figured I had a few more months on my 1 yr membership might as well make the best of it.

LOL, so over 1500 badges later and many yrs I’m still here. For the money and the amount of time I spend at pogo, it is well worth it to me~~!

I tend to keep to myself these days, but pogo is still the best place to be!

I’ve been on Pogo since February 2002, and a Club Pogo member since late 2004 or early 2005. I’m not totally sure…lol. First found out about Pogo from a few classmates in my Senior year of HS. Been on Pogo every day ever since. Crazy!

Summer of 2004 I met my now boyfriend, soon to be husband on Pogo. Still remember that day as if it was yesterday. Ahh, the memories! I’ve met some really CLOSE friends on Pogo as well.

Excited about Mini Golf, but not too sure about Crossword Cove. I don’t care for word games much, but will play them.

I am equally excited about Crossword Cove and Mini Golf but my guess would be MG before CC because they just released a really cool and awesome word game and I think Boggle’s greatness would take the excitement off of another word game right after.

Love, love, LOVE Boggle and can’t wait to see if I can get that 10 letter badge!

Have a great weekend everyone and happy boggling!

Hi all, my Aunt told me about pogo back in 1995, i used to go to the local library to play. I dont have that same account :( couldnt remeber my name or password. I remember when they started Club pogo, they were offering special pricing to join, but since i didnt have a computer at home i didnt want to join, good thing to. Not long after Club pogo started did the library change their firewall and i could no longer log on to pogo (they considered it a gambling site and blocked it). So i listen to my Aunt talk about “pogo this and pogo that for years”. I wasnt able to get my own computer until 2006. When we got back our taxes that year I called Dell on ordered my computer, and as soon as I hooked it up, I joined Club Pogo, and I’ve been “hooked” ever since. I have now successfully “hooked” 3 friends and another Aunt into my addiction. I have completed weekly albums 2003,2006,2007,2008, 7 mix and match albums, and 15 premium albums, at first I bought all the albums and all the mix and match badges, but found I was buying some I had a REALLY hard time to complete or they were in games I really didnt like, so now I pick and choose more carefully.

I really hope mini golf comes out first, i love to play mini golf on other gaming systems. Not really looking forward to crossword cove, i’ll probably only play for badges. I dont like crosswords, im not very good at them. Hoping to find help here like with trivial pursuit, when there is a challenge ;).

Hope everyone had a safe 4th.

Just had to put my two cents in here as well as a few things I noticed:
-Trivial Pursuit was awfully morbid on the 4th.
-I did notice large quantities of people “leaving” the Boggle rooms simultaneously. Some of them would go from 50 people to 4 in a matter of a second. And they were all names which would score like 60 unique words. A few other players, as well as myself, thought maybe there was a mass “booting” of “cheaters.”
-About 10 comments up, Mari notes there is no US flag mini T-shirt. I know quite a few veterans that feel wearing the flag on clothing, other than on a uniform, is considered highly disrespectful. Might have something to do with it.
-Looking forward to MiniGolf

-LOL, I did get cheated out of my Thousand Island Solitaire mini items. I was awarded them, but it was when Pogo was implementing them so I got “Claim your item” links to dead pages. I was so hoping to be a giant Orange!

happy 4th everyone!I started playing pogo in 2007 I found it off of yahoo when I played some games there.I like the boggle too so fun helps someone get better and faster at typing.i like all the word games not so much word jong kinda hard when you get down to a few letters and you have to win to rank :(
golf and crossword …hm…I’m not good at any of them but I think maybe the golf one will be out first.

I have been a player for 7 years. Even before there was a club pogo. We use to just play and chat. There wasn’t all this worry about cheating and bots and other silly stuff. I kinda miss that. I am excited about the new games ( as always!). Have a great 4th everyone!!
