Finally.....
Hi everyone. After days of trying I am finally able to get here. I don't think it's a webtv problem. Something is going on here. I've been getting the to busy to use notice. It's 5:00am now and probably the only reason it let me in, less traffic. Deleting cookies didn't help either.
I very seldom comment on how things are run here. I used to love this place. Fun fun fun.....
People made suggestions and you were always polite in your answers.
Something changed. I don't know if it was money related or what. But people will speculate.
You change user agreements and wonder why people question?
It's like making a post. If you don't want comments on it, save it until you do.
A lot of unfair things have been going on at this site IMO and it's wrong. This is your site, run it anyway you want but keep in mind word of mouth goes a long way. Keep the ones you have and strive for more don't run them off.
If someone that plays here pays $1 or $100 they should be treated them same. Not I like you better or you give more.
A prime example is Wal-mart stores they're booming because a dollar is just that a dollar. A customer should be a customer.
I'm glad they feel that way, I have stock.
Cheating is rampant here among other things but MY biggest problem is with customer service. NEVER and I mean never would I tolerate one of my CS people being rude to a customer.
I know there maybe a language barrier on a few things but the majority of people here would help.
If someone here has a problem with something it ought to be addressed with out the risk of being banned for stating an opinion becaused someone didn't like you. You have a good thing going, don't let others blow what you have worked so hard to build.

Good point Fencer.

We have the boost a pawn program and now a prize tournament where they are almost guaranteed a membership for almost nothing only 3 have taken advantage of it. Very sad I think.

Brian thank you for your kind words I was touched.;•) I love this place and spend a lot of time here. When you extend a helping hand it comes full circle. Thanks it's not just me that does this. I have some great people behind me helping every step of the way. I 2nd it. GO BRAINKING.

Instead of talking about it all day, we're doing something to raise money. We are trying to set up a prize tournament to raise money for BK. The tournament will be backgammon with an entrance fee of $5 with all proceeds going to BK. The prize will be $50 to the winner. Get a chance at $50 and help BK all in one. You will be asked to pay the fee of $5 once we know we have enough interested players. All entrance fees will have to be collected before the tournament can begin.
In order for this to work well we are hoping for at least 100 entrants which would be $500
$450 would go to BK and $50 to the winner. Please only serious entrees please. If you sign up for this tournament we will take it that you will be willing to pay the fee.

Thanks Bumble for taking the time to write your new book. :•)
It was fun and quite interesting.
I await your trip to the states. They would never be the same. Love, Patty
We have been looking for a worthy pawn and think that we have found one that truly needs some help. This lady is the single mom of a small child and a membership would be a luxury that she really can't justify at this time with her fixed income. We are looking for someone who would be willing to help bring a little happiness into this lady's life.
She has played here since November 2002.
Has completed 281 games
Has 16 current games
1 tournament
If you are interested in participating in this program and sponsoring this lady please send me a personal message. Thank-you
Please, whether you are for or against this program posting about it here is doing no more then covering it up and the very reason I reposted.
I answered quesions about this at the debate club yesterday and will do it again today if anyone has any. You can also send me a pm with questions although I would rather do it at the debate club to avoid answering over & over. If you are not a member of the debate club and want to learn more about this program request an invitation to the debate club..Thanks.
There is a program here at brainking where a needy pawn can get an upgrade to member status for 6 months free of charge.
Pawns must play here regularly. Be at or near their game limit and cannot afford to pay for membership. If you are a pawn or know of a pawn that fits into this category please message me for more information to be considered into this program. Membership is for 6 months only.
Please only those that qualify should apply.Thanks.
If you have any questions,concerns or problems with this (pawns membership) idea I will be glad to discuss it with you at length at the debate club rather then clog this board.
I have Webtv column layout doesn't work well.It's row layout for me and because of glare grey background and I still need glasses to read when I get off.
BBW If your sisters computer can't be fixed,webtv would be a cheap alternative.Easy to use,wireless keyboard and remote.She can play lying down if she wants.It is also small enough to be taken to the hospital.I took mine during my stay and wouldn't go without it.My webtv was a lifesaver during my doctor ordered bed rest.I love my webtv....
LOL Interview with Bumble,Oh this is gonna be good.Harley,if they get questions they'd rather not answer,how does that work? Do they throw them out or leave them in unanswered?
