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.

coan.net: he threw me out the day he read my private note from another player asking me if I was going to pay.. When I said no I didnt think so, to this other player ( who also got tossed out the day I did) he locked us out.. when I emailed him his reply was why bother since I wasnt going to pay.. even tho he said in the beginning that there were going to pay and free accounts.. Hes one messed up dude.
Vikings: Ha! Not on your life. The site owner isnt the most scrupulous person out there. He used to read peoples private PMs to see what was being said about him and tossed out a lot of really good honest ppl because he is so mega paranoid thinking they were all spies for this site.. Not to mention taking a ton of life time memberships not that long ago then closed up shop with out so much as a word of warning. They would be *** insert crazy word of choice here*** to think people will really pay again there.
Teema: Re: If you are having trouble logging to GoldToken...
Eriisa: Thanks for that - I was just coming to this board to find the GT MSN board so I could see what was going on.
The www.Gt address got to a login, but I could not get in.
The beta site is now getting the "site is down" message.
I know the www.gt address is still pointing to the old place - but I'm wondering why they just did not keep up the page that points to either of the new addresses.... instead of a login page that does not work. O'well - I'm back in now - that is what matters.
Teema: If you are having trouble logging to GoldToken...
This msg was posted from firefly on one of the discussion boards. There were issues with the new server installed and some people are having difficulty logging in.
The old URL with the www in still points to the old server, and, though you may get a log-in page, you won't be able to get in.
Mecir, one of our programmers, has this to say...
"That will fix itself in a while. We cannot do a thing about that, it's the nature of the internet. Specifically, your local name server still remembers that "www.goldtoken.com" means our old server, so when you try to access it, it will simply go to there without checking if it still is the correct location. The stored information will expire within the next 24 hours, then your local name server will once again ask the GoldToken's servers where "www.goldtoken.com" is, it will be given the proper location, and from then on, it will work for you."
I have been playing a dutch lady at logic there and she told me about that site as well
On BugCafe as well, just a side note, they released a Newsletter last week, guess it is still there, and this year they are addressing several of the major issues about the site, the size & set up of the Main Manager page being one
Eriisa: Yea, hopefully GoldToken is back up soon..... just now, a few minutes ago I again could not access this site - usually not a big deal since I will just go to GoldToken to play games over there until this site is available - but now - UGH - no where to play.
(Guess I better go check out BugCafe again like I said I was going to do.)
Oh, and GoldToken's beta site is up because it is on a completely different server as I understand it.....
MadMonkey: I don't visit yourturnmyturn as much as I use to (once Dice Poker & Logic where brought here), but I did find your invite and accepted it. I still have my paid membership there, but I found that so few people are on the site - the games with the same people started to get a little boring.
Now if you want a challenge - try http://www.jijbent.nl - which is the dutch language sister site of YourTurnMyTurn - and very popular (of Dutch speaking people). I don't understand a thing, but I did manage to get into a few games & tournaments and found there was a lot more of a challenge in the logic game on the Dutch site then the English site.
Great news about the new server. It will be super when GT is fast and efficient.
HOWEVER ... there is a teeny weeny problem with the update. The new server is located in California, and they got hit with the worst storm in California history. So the update is going to take longer than expected - I believe it will be finished about 6 hours from now. If the transfer aborts because of the storms then it will have to be redone, but lets hope it all goes through smoothly first time.
Like the set up, but have to find my way about yet. Just played a practice game against the computer there at Guess the Code (Logik here) and love the colour selection process. Maybe we could have drop boxes with colours instead of words
Will pop back there later to have a look and maybe play a game. Found coan.net, my first friend their lol, added you, but not found out how to find if you are online or not yet lol
coan.net: Been playing the boats more & more there now
Those diagonal ones make it a great game as the board is based on squares, therefore boats can go across each other (A1, B2, C3, D4 & D5) and the other (D1, C2, B3 & A4) for example.
You can set the games to include diagonal boats or not, and also have boats that just use ONE space, would be like having one Frog in the game OR we could call it Life Raft (great idea monkeyboy lol)
In fact what is great about BugCafe, well a few of there games, is you can create your own rules as such, like design your own Scrabble boards, any size you wish, and set bonus squares anywhere you wish them, how ever many tiles you want.
Would be great if we could do that here with Boats here, decide how many of which boats we use in a game
In fact be great if we could do it for any game here that Fencer can not find time to make even the smallest changes for
We are in the process of upgrading our server. To do this, we must ensure the integrity of our data as we complete the move, so you will not have access to the website until the upgrade is complete.
While we can't provide you a timeline of when this will be completed, our best estimate is that this process shouldn't take more than a few hours. Rest assured that no game timeouts will occur during this period.
When we complete the upgrade and bring the site back online, it will be a faster, more responsive system, capable of handling the increasing load that comes with our site's popularity. Be sure to check back in a few hours!
coan.net: I believe they said on the English site they would add more games once they had 100 paying members? Seems like if they added more games they would get more of the guest already there to join as paying members! Looks like 73 now so have a long wait
ellieoop: I use to play on the Dutch site often, but haven't for the past couple of months - so rummy must be new (or I missed it)
I might go try that out also..... and hopefully they will have it over on the English site soon - even though with so few members, it gets boring there fast.
coan.net: have you tried their dutch site, it has a lots of different games, my very favorite is rummy, and of course lost cities is on both sites, don't understand how they can have those 2 great card games and no other sites have them .they have lots of paying members so tourns. start daily, and sometimes 2x a day, and you never seem to play the same ppl. paying members can play in team games, like the team challenges here.
MadMonkey: Yea, many other sites have been growing for the good. YourTurnMyTurn is continuing to add new games, many unique for the site. GoldToken has really steped up their game develpoment - they now have a great chess & checkers selection - enought of a selection to be the official game site of ACF and others... plus also working on other great non chess/checker games.
Heck, ItsYourTurn has even introduced some great games recently - I just love playing Dark Crazy Chess - plus they have some new boat variants and such.
I have not played on BugCafe for a long time - but I think I will have to check them back out here soon.

BugCafe has come along way since it first started with just Scrabble.
It has now introduced Mancala & Dice Poker (Bugzee as they call it), so now has all types of games & more than BrainKing does, just not all the variations.
Its a lot more basic than here, but very playable
We had a burst of new games at the start of 2007, BECAUSE of all the Black Rook memberships.
When will we get something new now, even the most basic sites are leaving us behind now
joshi tm: In order to release a licensed game, you need a license, of course. It's good you mention Carcassonne - I've been trying to contact the author, the distributor and everybody else who could have anything to do with the license. Nobody ever answered me. You can try it yourself, perhaps you'll be more successful.
Teema: Re: this is has far as the new site has got
The Crazy Puppy: Wow they are taking thier time! No more moaning about Brainking from me, will, maybe just a little now and again. What would life be like without a moan or two
coan.net: Weren't they doing that two years ago when IYT had been facing serious problems with their hardware or whatever? I think people are smart enough to choose a game site themselves, they don't need to be "driven in". And it's not nice to turn another site problems to own profit, I would say.
