WP:SPAM for the "World Rec.Gambling Poker Tournament". A non-notable WP:WEB-site. Google hits (WRGPT): 658. No Alexa traffic rank for: quizkids.com. -- Netsnipe (Talk) 18:14, 13 July 2006 (UTC) reply
rec.gambling.misc
has some info on it
[3]. A volunteer run internet-based poker tournament that mostly antedates the web is the kind of quirky stuff that a mainstream encyclopedia would miss and Wikipedia is so great at covering, and it is certainly notable for being perhaps the only email-based poker tournament. In any case, I think the label "SPAM" is unnecessarily harsh for a site that's volunteer run on donations and doesn't blast the viewer with thousands of ads. Full disclosure: I myself don't know anything about poker, but, being from the generation that grew up during the golden years of USENET, I admit to being rather biased in favour of organisations that had their start in newsgroups. —
