I remember a long time ago, as virtual sites go, when I was looking for places to play. I played a lot at yahoo but at one point they changed their policy. I think they wanted me to pay to play. So I checked and came up with this site where I could play poker for hours if I did not close the site. After a while I did and couldn´t get it free again. But I had found pogo. I played free games for a long time until I decided I would spend the money for a year´s membership. That was 4 years ago, many nice friends ago, many badges ago. Now I´m hooked. And you? Luck with badges

I didn't know you were a Pogo person! Cool, I'm catdla3 there. I've been a member for 8 or 9 years. I don't remember how I found them, but I think that they supplied the games for IWON.com. It's been a long time and I could be wrong about the site where I found them, but it was definitely part of another site. I do remember when the company was bought by EA.com. They changed everyone's passwords and assigned new ones, which you could then change if you wanted to. At the time I used to play yahoo games too, but the graphics weren't very good, and they started wanting you to download any games you liked. And their bingo was terrible. I remember when Pogo only had maybe 10 games...lol. I liked the solitaire, hearts and bingo games there. They sure have come a long way! I love the site and have made many friends there, some of whom I've had the pleasure of meeting, and one that I married 5 years ago.

Hi friend! I was checking old unresolved posts I had made I read yours. Did you really meet your hubby through pogo? That is THE love story!!! You should send it to Ms. Netiquette at pogo.

My son introduced me to it on a free pass and then bought me a 6month subscription for my birthday... that would be about 2 years ago I think.

I have played pogo for many years now, I first noticed it when it was aol games, I would say that was many years ago...lol. I did the member thing which I no longer do because it is a waste of money for me. I was in leagues and was a League Admin. I still play almost everyday to relax or just to rid myself of boredom. I think they have wonderful games. I have met many many nice people on there. Hope you get many badges and Good Luck!!

My kids introduced me to pogo and neopets approximately the same time. I have been a member for several years and still find myself going there for badges. I love it. I have friends there and love to play all types of games and I always try to try out the newest games. I enjoy making many friends and always implore people I have played with to add me as a friend.
