Fencer doesn't want to be a moderator - but us Global Moderators force him to be because we are mean like that! Muhahahahahahahaaa....

Does someone want to apply to be a moderator of the board? I have some pull in that department - have no problem in throwing out the current mod for someone else

Oh, and I heard there is a prize for posting in here - an extra month membership is added to the end of your current membership for EVERY POST in this board. (only applies to black rooks)

As a side note, I still enter prize tournaments. I still want to win, and I still want the prize.

Of course I can't use it myself, but what I've done twice now in the past is re-gift the prize into my own prize tournaments....

But in my opinion if a black rook wins a prize tournament, they can choose 3 things.

1. "keep" the gift, and re-gift it in their own tournament
2. "keep" the gift, and just give it to someone - a friend or something
3. Refuse the prize, and let the tournament creator decide if they should give it to the 2nd place person - or even create a whole new tournament with the prize.

That is my opinion - of course if the tournament creator wants to do something specific, they would need to outline that in the tournament description before the tournament starts - so people like me know not to sign up.

Jason: Nope, Members only can only be read by Bishop and above.

It looks like others like this board this way - myself, I find it pointless since if pawns & other non-black rooks want to comment, they will just start a coversation on other boards - leading to having the same conversation on multiple boards - and if that is going to happen, why even start a conversation here - might as well start it on the board where it could end up at.

Again.... my opinion as I already see others have different opinions which is great - I can as quickly take this board off favorites list as quickly as I added it. Have fun everyone.

Fencer: Oh... so this board is nothing like Members only.

What is the point of this board if everyone can read it?

Andersp: Well yea... I'm not saying get rid of Feature Request or anything like that - just a place to give extra value to the black rook membership - to possible know a little more in advance of others what is being worked on or may be coming up soon and such is all I'm talking about.

Normal rooks/knights - and even pawns can still have their input on the Feature requests board.

Andersp: I guess for the same reason there is a "Members only" discussion board.

But I would love to see some more information from Fencer on what he is working on & developing - maybe getting some input from us - the users who have decided to help support this site with out lifetime memberships.

Of course we would not hold him to anything he tells us - but would be a good place for him to get some input from some users.

That is what I would like to see this board used for.
