Please keep things positive. Best advise I believe is to try out different sites. Find what works well for you. If you don't like it, don't go back and try another site. Nothing says you only have to play on 1 site. At one time, I played on about 6 different turn-based game sites.
i have to admit my 1st love of game sites is IYT...tourneys start twice a week,in every game! but i am a tourney freak there...LOL i dont enter into the freak-show that is called message boards but read them and thank god i aint like the ones that post there!..
Fencer: I much prefer the tournies here to iyt. Some of those on iyt take years to complete and it is great to be able to create our own tournies with prizes on here. And iyt never have any thing like buy one get one free like you do. I don,t feel that iyt appreciates its members and they are too handy at sending automatic responses to questions which have nothing to do with the question in the first place. Its one answer suits all.
Mousetrap: LOL I contacted IYT once with a question about my account. They sent me one of those one size fits all answers which in no way answered my question leaving me with the conviction that they did not know the answer to my question. Which by the way I figured out when the same set of events reoccured.
