Emne: but it is not worth a tenfold of the current monthly fee I am already paying. Expenses must be reasonable too.

Finally you agree...there is a solution but you dont want to pay for it

Andersp: do you want to pay for it then???

Emne: Re: but it is not worth a tenfold of the current monthly fee I am already paying. Expenses must be reasonable too.

Ewe: maybe not, Comcast Cable just raised our prices

Emne: Re: but it is not worth a tenfold of the current monthly fee I am already paying. Expenses must be reasonable too.

Andersp:

It would be us that would have to pay for it through higher membership costs.

Emne: Re: but it is not worth a tenfold of the current monthly fee I am already paying. Expenses must be reasonable too.

Jules: And how many more rooks do you think he'll get with this crap?

Not even you or Ewe want to pay full price as the site is now

Emne: Re: but it is not worth a tenfold of the current monthly fee I am already paying. Expenses must be reasonable too.

Andersp: you are like a jack russell at the ankles! Why dont you just give it a rest? You havent said anything, not ONE thing constructive! Why are you still here? I would of thought you would of left by now if you are this unhappy here.....how weird you stay!

I havent paid for a membership here for personal reasons, absolutely NOTHING to do with this site or with YOU for that matter.

I suggest you change the stuck record!!

7. Januar 2008, 17:14:09

Emne: Re: but it is not worth a tenfold of the current monthly fee I am already paying. Expenses must be reasonable too.

Ewe: LOL..a very constructive post!!

Want something more constructive?

Everything costs money, even good service. Take a look at "Player list" Of 1226 pages are 16 (sixteen!!) paying members.

Fencer needs more money....how? Thats easy.....Encourage more people to pay.. 16 of 1226 is a p in the Ocean imo.

The price isnt so high, even people with "personal reasons" can afford it

Andersp: I'll pay £22 for a years mem. My speed has been fine.

Emne: Re: but it is not worth a tenfold of the current monthly fee I am already paying. Expenses must be reasonable too.

Andersp: Ours use to be like that.. sometimes. Then we installed window washer... It cleans the junk that you get from browsing, etc.

.. Now it's rarely slow.

... Plus it could be the USA circuit.

Jules: Do you think Brain King can survive if he only can provide good speed to Europe?

Emne: Re: but it is not worth a tenfold of the current monthly fee I am already paying. Expenses must be reasonable too.

Andersp: I expect so. But I got the feeling it's more then just the route taken.

Do you clean you comp on a regular basis? Defrag?

Mort

Emne: Re: but it is not worth a tenfold of the current monthly fee I am already paying. Expenses must be reasonable too.

Andersp: Ahhh I just saw your problem. You are using IE not Mozilla. IE is slow on this site, while Mozilla is much much faster.

7. Januar 2008, 17:39:39

Emne: Re: but it is not worth a tenfold of the current monthly fee I am already paying. Expenses must be reasonable too.

Jules: I could make a Mozilla video too, no difference :(

And yes..i clean/defrag, if that was the problem then everything should be slow

7. Januar 2008, 17:42:12

Emne: Re: but it is not worth a tenfold of the current monthly fee I am already paying. Expenses must be reasonable too.

Andersp: Well the speed difference here between IE and Mozilla is BIG.

Oh well.

Emne: Re: but it is not worth a tenfold of the current monthly fee I am already paying. Expenses must be reasonable too.

Andersp:

so again I personally ask you...if you are seriously not happy why are you here? Go to another gamesite! Why pay for the life long membership here if its that bad? Why constantly attack Fencer? Why keep moaning on & on & on & on & on etc etc etc .........................

Last post by me on here because I dont want to sound as bad....

7. Januar 2008, 17:53:17

Emne: Re: but it is not worth a tenfold of the current monthly fee I am already paying. Expenses must be reasonable too.

Ewe: You dont sound bad at all...your constructive attacks are cute :)

Emne: Re: but it is not worth a tenfold of the current monthly fee I am already paying. Expenses must be reasonable too.

Ewe: Ewe: I can't speak for Andersp, but when I took the life membership plunge, response times seemed relatively quick. I think I even managed to make >500 moves in a day--but now that's just inconceivable.

I'll try to be constructive--or at least informative--by saying that it's only recently (say, 2-3 weeks or so?) that I've had to wait a much longer time for a response, with the browser displaying this status: "Waiting for http://www.brainking.com/...etc..."

This is true whether I'm connected at home via DSL, or at work (on a much speedier system) via T1.

I don't think I can blame my individual PC's, nor ISP's. But maybe I should "Czech" out some other .cz sites to see how connectivity seems from here in the USA Midwest.

Emne: Re: but it is not worth a tenfold of the current monthly fee I am already paying. Expenses must be reasonable too.

wetware:Yesterday..many posts ago i posted that i "tested" 3 sites from Prag, all of them loaded very fast.

That doesnt tell me that there is a slow connection from Czech to USA.

Fencer needs to try every possible solution even if it costs money or he is digging Brain King's grave...thats no moaning..thats the truth.

7. Januar 2008, 23:43:35

Emne: Re: but it is not worth a tenfold of the current monthly fee I am already paying. Expenses must be reasonable too.

wetware: How many years does it take before the lifetime membership to begin paying dividands? 10?
Nothing personal to this site,but too much can transpire over that period of time in such an evolving relatively new communication field.Look back 10 years and see how much has changed.As a show of faith it's nice,but maybe not a wise investment

Emne: Re: but it is not worth a tenfold of the current monthly fee I am already paying. Expenses must be reasonable too.

Jim Dandy: In my case it was meant as a christmas present to me and my wife with a "bonusdeal" (autopass) with Fencer.

I agree, thats no good (secure) investment but you know how we "americans" are at Christmastime..lots of charity ! LOL

Fencer is showing his gratefulness by calling me "certain user", "Troll", annoying and other nice things...i can live with it :)

Emne: Re: but it is not worth a tenfold of the current monthly fee I am already paying. Expenses must be reasonable too.

</b"certain user>: I sense a moral issue here.I think everyone wants to feel appreciated,Fencer included,but the rhetoric has pushed many peoples backs to the corner with no escape in sight.

Emne: Re: I think everyone wants to feel appreciated

Jim Dandy: I don't have a need to feel appreciated, just a need for certain players to TAKE THEIR TURN in what I personally perceive to be a decent period of time - - - maybe this is why BK is running so crappy for me, I just don't appreciate enough?

8. Januar 2008, 00:25:53

Emne: Re: I think everyone wants to feel appreciated

srnity:

I had to look to see if we had a game.The feeling I get is that certain paying customers feel unappreciated,I don't have enough knowledge of the history here to have an opinion if it's warrented.I'm considering dwnloading firefox to see if it improves the speed,I like this site but the current speed is a pain,especially if you want to fire through say 50 moves prior to work

Emne: Re: I had to look to see if we had a game

Jim Dandy: Oops, sorry, wasn't thinking about it from that angle

I have Firefox, it updates itself automatically, disk clean and defrag are automatically set too - I'm running better this evening then yesterday around this time (first time here today) - any better for you? And how many "hops" did you get, btw?

8. Januar 2008, 00:38:10

Emne: Re: I had to look to see if we had a game

srnity: I have yet to download it,I'm trying to find the best and newest edition.I think firefox 3 is soon to be released.........the only "hops' I understand are used in beer.

8. Januar 2008, 01:34:25

Uninvited

Emne: Firefox

Jim Dandy: I have Firefox2 and Internet explorer on my pc.
My games are loading fast tonight, I had it on Firefox and my Ludo games only took one sec. to load all the way, I switched to IE. and the ludo games took four seconds each time.
The point I'm getting at is Firefox is way better and if you don't like it just take it back off your PC.
It's free so you got nothing to loose.

8. Januar 2008, 01:42:40

Emne: Re: Firefox

Uninvited: The site is humming along better tonite.I think I'll take the firefox leap anyway,but I'm a creature of habit,probably the same reason I could never learn to drive standard lol

Purple: I would take the WebTV and throw it out the window and go buy a PC.
Then get hooked up with high speed.
