tippyc: I just couldn't remember what the interval was. :)

Eriisa: i guess that makes sense. like it checks for timed out games every 5 or 10 minutes, and ends them if it finds them. the game ended at -5 minutes

tippyc: I'm not sure exactly how they explain it, but its something like, that part of the program runs at a certain interval.

Espionage Normal game Tsonchu black 13. -2 mins

this line was copied from my opponents turn table. why didnt it end the game at 0 minutes?

i think, but Fencer will make it better

Its a funny thing. It seems like every site that I know has a hardware change (like a server) seems to alway run terribly for the next few weeks..............

Bernice: It's a relief to hear all this . First I really thought it WAS me lol but now I hear that there are problems in the USA, in Europe and even down under in Australia .Let's hope it will go faster soon :)

bouncer: and it is the same here and has been for over a week, but yesterday was the worst with pages taking up to 3min 42secs to load....yes I timed it, but dont expect things to improve greatly :( all other sites load very quickly, but it HAS to be me, cause as Fencer would say there is nothing wrong at his end :)

Binabik: Same here . Fencer posted something about slow speed last week telling that everything must run smooth again . Well...nothing runs smooth . It takes ages to load a game, I have to quit and log in again and again and again and as you said...it's very frustrating

Binabik: Uhhhh..... I actually think Fencer was looking for something a bit more unique?

Sigh, it's been over a week I think, and it's been very frustrating - uncountable "unable to connect" messages, pages take forever to load, etc. The last time this happened we had to ride it out, but it's getting very aggravating.

tsk tsk tsk, Now be nice children~

Bernice: Ä?

Tigger: the word starts with A and ends with E......go figure ROFLMBO

Fencer: Could you explain that to me?

rod03801:Oh my.. stupid me..I have to change myself. I was looking by his name and did not see edit. Been awhile since I have been BB.
Thanks Rod and Monkey.

Pbarb2: What rod said lol well i had hit reply anyway

He means (edit) in your Fellowship, where all the Teams are listed

Now, bed

Pbarb2: Just click "edit" next to your name on the team. Change yourself to Captain.

I have a team entered into Fencers tourney. One of my players has not been on for a long time. I am not Captain, but BB. How can I get the captain off there and add myself as Captain?
Thanks

Fencer: I had the most original complaint yesterday, did I win anything?

MadMonkey: Maybe we are waiting for the most original complaint of the day.

Oceans Apart: I know it has been getting worse the last few days it can not all be code changes lol

It used to really only do it when Fencer added his blog to the site. Not a clue whats causing it now though

MadMonkey: It has been like it for days though

Oceans Apart: Shhhhhh that normally happens when Fencer makes changes to the site (like adding the Move Goto option he just did lol)

Me too............still

Oceans Apart: Yes.

Is anybody  having problems with the pages taking ages to load, and also getting booted off every 5 minutes, or is it just Lonelygirl and I that are still having this problems

Does this mean that we might be able to buy a bk membership on amazon??

gogul: I know, but now that you posted on GC, I'm headed over there.

(waving bye to Hrqls before he gets me!)

Eriisa: Not fair! lol

redfrog: ok, I went ALL THE WAY over to Gen Chat and you ain't got no post there.

srnity: oh here is an interesting topic... ill move over to general chat for it tho...

And to the Mods who do treat the general public (adults and/or children) in a friendly, kind, polite, and professional manner - Go You, you make Fencer's site worth coming back to

redfrog: I'm sorry, I don't take things very seriously here, I just see this place as a "gamesite", not real-life.....Work is work, play is play.....I just thought the above referenced sentence was priceless is all.....if I have to be in a BK "category", I guess I'd rather be in the "unreasonable, unhelpful, selfish" one.......Not to say that most Mods don't do a good job, but there are a couple who tend to lean towards their own "dictatorship" roles, as if this site is it's own country or whatnot

srnity: its not that BK attracts these types - its the online environment that makes people feel like they are untouchable, powerful, and releases the inner jerk. The discussion on "moderating by the moderators" is the prime example. In real life we dont have moderators going around and editing conversations or banning people from conversing in public. Instead we have morals and the ability to choose who we interact with. Here - we have those that take advantage of the public boards to ignore what others find decent and we need these moderators to balance the lack of our ability to walk away. Thats why I volunteered to be a co-mod on this board - Id love to help Fencer and the global mods keep this site a friendly place to play and have fun.

alanback: ROFLMBO - your a funny guy

srnity:Actually, I have found many users here to be most friendly and helpful.  Bear in mind that like attracts like.

alanback: gee, I'm not sure, to be honest.

But I always thought that a moderator of a meeting - uh .... moderates the meeting. lol !!!!

Eriisa:  I like your use of the verb "moderate" in that sense.  You don't often hear it used that way, but it must be the original meaning.

Czuch Czuckers: sorry, maybe that was tongue-in-cheek when I said it was thankless. Its only thankless and unrewarding when you have to moderate someone. Sometimes the person moderated takes it well, and understands, and other times, they don't.

Eriisa: BTW, I must really be unique, because I thought it was an honor to be a moderator, and fun and had a hint of prestige as well! I didnt find it thankless at all, in fact, I found it rewarding, and an ego booster!

When I hear how thankless and unrewarding so many find it, I wonder why you would do it at all?

(BTW, I was not removed from moderating because of my ability to moderate, I was actually very good at it, it was because of my disagreeable insight that clashed with others opinions that got me booted!)

Czuch Czuckers: Let me qualify that. There are 56 people who are moderating or co-moderating on 68 boards.

Czuch Czuckers: Some of them are pretty unique

Eriisa: Is that 58 unique individuals or 58 total moderators?

Czuch Czuckers: oh, by the way...... I have a list of all mods and co-mods. There is a total of 58, including Globals.
