Great, again a new fellowship (the 140.).
Please don`t invite me!

Lythande, you are right completely,we don`t need these nongames fellowships,-boards and whatever here in Brainking!
This is a gamesite and many of us want play here games only and peaceful!.We need the resources of Brainking to improve the site, not for worldwar and other useless things.
Do you know how many serious players therefor have left the site in the past or have not joined,because they believe the main themes are more and more other things than games?
Also you can see the negative results in the last days.
If you want talk and discuss about "god and the world",there are other possibilities in the internet.I am for outhousing of all nongames themes to yahoo,and the "Big Boss" can write the link in his profile.I am for more "red line" and I support Fencer in his decision completely!

Starofdarkness,why do they need Brainking for their "boyclub"? You all,who miss "the cave" why don`t you found a special yahoogroup for this object and the "Big Boss" can write the link in his profile.You don`t need the resources of Brainking for your nongames ideas.I think Fencer needs his resources to make his gamesite better.

The 3th time,I would jump away :)

Okay single cases are always possible and I don`t want speak about single names.
Deciding is what is with the large majority? For instance at the "Fritz(real-time)server",greatest chessserver in Europe, there are 100.000 registered users (only in chess).And here? 9000 User,but in all games and every player has at least one additional account :).But it`s okay,this is another relationship,you cannot compare.

No,I think only a small part complains,the bigger part doesn`t log in anymore.
It is not only some non-related DBs,(only one point)it is the general direction, which will be chosen.

In standard chess you are right,ughaibu, but unfortunately not in chessvariants (and I like the most of them) as turn-based.
I am too at Uschesslive (it is an real-time server and with variants),but this is all what I know.
Okay we all are not professionals, but can it be false to improve the own game?

Thank you Harley and I am sure you are right!I want to accent again, that it is not my opinion that the general chat-Dbs are unnecessary or something.Every member should use them so much as he wants.But even so,I think we have many of them,there must be a limit somewhere, otherwise all it ends into chaos.

So how you say,the most sites have DBs about games-related themes and about only these themes.Why?
At the most sites the other things are called as abuse and would be deleted at once!
It is always the question if you are concentrating your activities on a special topic and try to make it better or if you are handling all things a little bit,some a little bit better and others a little bit bader.
My opinion is to concentrate on the topic of the site = the games.For the other things there are many other possibilities in the internet.
I am very sure:the silent majority of serious players has the same opinion,or will leave the site,if it will too generally.
I want to see this site more as place for competitions and fewer for talks (not only).You have to decide for more the one or for more the other direction.
And Steve : I don`t speak about battleboats.

I find as good,although we are here in Brainking nothing other than a big fellowship:)!.

But there must be a sense in the topic,what has to do with the games,otherwise we are developing in other directions.
"Off topic" are surely themes of reptilians, motorway,mystic or worldwar(???).In addition there is a maxim : Less is more.
Or else we have anytime more fellowships as paying members and every FS has three members or every member is in every FS:).

Better could be if a good player of a special game would adopt the sponsorship of this game in a special FS.He can teach something to other interested players and they can deep their playing.
The second consideration is to found national or continental groups to fight out special competitions between countries or continents.

My idea is in chess and variants to organize a competition between Europe and America,perhaps as pentathlon(regular chess and four variants, which every player has to play).But for it we need two nearly identical FS,(games,objects,teams)and we will wait for Brainking 2.0.:).

To the Ex-members: We have "The Chessclub" here (chess only), and we can try to pool the serious chessplayers in this fellowship.Come and join!

Oh,I understand an allweather-PC, I know it makes good atmospheres. :)

Atmoshere? Hey,what a kind of pc do you have:)?

can`t understand that, you can write and talk about all what you want (about "god and the world" :))and you don`t need the resources of Brainking!

me too and only with games themes please! All other things can be posted at yahoo-boards.
