Look what I found!

Milena B. posted on GameColony.com facebook page
"Hi there, in 2004 - 2005 I played on gamecolony.com and this is how I met my husband. We come from different countries and backgammon was our first common interest 
He moved to my country, we lived together for 6 years and we got married last summer!
I am sure that wasn't the initial idea for creating this site, but thank you very much!  "

I was so excited to find this information that I reposted it at www.gamecolony.com forum and look at this response:


I was widowed 8 years ago, and started playing on this site about 2 years later. I became friendly with an american man (I was in the UK) and to cut a long story short, he came to meet me a few months later. I visited him the following year, and we got married a few months after that! Almost 4 years now. So I guess I'm saying thank you to gamecolony too!

Any other happy events that started at www.gamecolony.com??????

Solitaire

I love solitaire.  I love it because you don't need an opponent to play and, although solitaire at www.gamecolony.com allots 5 mins, I can usually finish one game in 60 seconds.  That means I can do it while waiting in line at the post office (that's a weekly occurrence for me and usually a tedious one), while I am waiting in the doctor's office or at a train stop.
We have an android app for solitaire called 'Solitaire GC'  -- get for FREE in your Google Play Store.
More info at http://www.gamecolony.com/andr/sol/
