I agree they dont want us well we shouldnt want them either, theres sites that still let us play we should be playing at those sites. Any site that has thrown us out as far as real money play dont deserve our traffic. To bad because its a great idea as far as the league goes but bad place of choice.

Dont know where you are getting the idea that PS and the other sites are "done" with you. Assuming that you are an American player, It would appear that that energy needs to be put back on those who passed and enforced the laws. Are FTP PS and UB/AB are the victims? Or we Americans who went along for the ride while also flipping the finger to US Law victims? As I see it we all have an equal part in the events that lead up to the DOJ taking action.

They do want us, but the US Department of Justice went after them and forced them to stop accepting US players. Their .com domains were seized, executives indicted/arrested, etc.
Stars was chosen for a few reasons:
1. Many of our members have accounts there, allowing us to have a larger player pool to participate
2. The software is stable and well designed, which isn't always the case for a lot of smaller networks
3. They allow us to run a league and provide scoring functions on a monthly basis, which is perfect because it takes a ton of the manual work out of keeping track of results and winners
