After 18 long, often absurd months, Full Tilt Poker relaunched today.

As (we) expected, the poker public has been pretty forgiving of the site. According to PokerScout, at post-time (midnight Tuesday), Tilt has just over 5,000 players and peaked at114,773 for the day.

At those numbers, Tilt is already re-established as the number 2 poker site in the world.

So all is forgiven.

Next up: U.S. Americans getting their money back.

Tilt basically appears to be a slimmed down version of its old self. Gone is the bloat of over 220 sponsored pros (to date, only Gus Hansen and Tom ‘durrrr’ Dwan of the old guard remain, and Viktor ‘isildur1′ Blom has joined the team). Gone is 1/2 of the liquidity base (i.e. U.S. Americans). Gone are the awesome commercials (as witnessed by the less-than-awesome spot above).

But hey, Tilt is back. It may not be better than ever, but certainly it’s better than nothing.

The Great Rebellion of '12 appears to continue and potentially even grow in strength as the Evil Nate Maas continues to promote a Comment Embargo on this blog. Of course, he is letting his "useful minions" do his dirty work for him, as he sits over on the sidelines and chuckles. It appears that DADD has come completely under his cunning mind control techniques. DADD, once our most prolific early morning commenter has not gone silent. Those associated with this insurrection have not even clearly communicated their demands or intents. A very sad world we live in.

This southern summer Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) image shows a remnant of layered sedimentary material that was once much more extensive, covering a vast intercrater area near 69.1°S, 207.5°W. These layers have been protected from being completely removed by erosion, in part, because of the ancient meteor impact crater located at the lower left. The dark lines that squiggle and streak across this scene were most likely formed by passing dust devils that disrupted or removed some of the thin layer of dust coating this terrain. The picture covers an area approximately 3 km (1.9 mi) wide; sunlight illuminates the scene from the upper left. MGS MOC Release No. MOC2-619, 28 January 2004
