Gothic, when you post things to public boards, everyone becomes involved remember.... private messages, private matter. Public board, everyones becomes involved.

And thank you for explaining that it was a joke, I did not take it that way. Pats Gothic on the back and heads off. :-)

[edited]

dang....just cant be civil.

nope....today I'm a cowboy!! LMAO:)

And here we go again.

Not on this board please. Kindly take it elsewhere while I tidy up :o)

Messages of plays on BK don't post to my inbox anymore. Is that another bug?

I'll look at it.

...is really annoying. Moderators should just let these harmless discussions go on.

Viking, if you're referring to editing from today on this board, it was not a harmless discussion. It was name calling which was growing into an argument.

what exactly is wrong about arguments? What harm can they possibly do? Especially when I am willing to bet that usually those involved in these HARMLESS arguments find them entertaining. And so do I.

And besides, even kids in kindergarden are allowed to have arguments. It is kinda absurd that they are not allowed between adults in an internet discussion board :).

But this is the BK board, gen chat would be better for those "arguments" ;oÞ

that is correct, Steve. But was this really the reason for cencorship this time?
This being a wrong board, I rest my case.

I not sure everyone would consider them harmless, Viking. But even if this were so, it is still the wrong board for such things. People come here to post about BrainKing, and read about it. Not to read page after page of arguments between grown men. If they really have to argue, as Stevie says, there are more appropriate boards.

Thanks Fencer! I hate to bother you with trivial things.
You have done a great job on the conversion!!

don't forget pages and pages of arguments from grown women too ;)

I want to extend my membership, Is it OK to do it now with BK2?

how to grow best ... :D ~*~

Yes SunFire

Thanks rod03801

I as maybe a lot of others had aproblem with having to play games and write messages twice, or even 3 times in the old BK...I noticed that this hasnt changed?? will it be fixed?

Bernice: When it happens, it means that the database server refused to insert your post/move because of a current overload. It's just a feature of database servers and there are two ways, in general, how to fix it:

1) Optimize the application/database code and infrastructure. It is already done and it's called BK 2.0.
2) Optimized code bring one consequence - since the site is faster, it can serve more requests at once. Which, of course, makes the site slower. It's a common problem of all sites with non-sufficient hardware. The remaining solution is to replace the current database server by a new one, faster one.

Please note that we are still running on the same hardware configuration as we started with two years ago. It's a small miracle [thanks to Liquid] that it still runs in kind of acceptable way.

Andersp: How do you like this "Fencer answer"? :-D

Fencer: I can't see a note about this anywhere, but you may know already.
Have you tried to 'Hide Message Archive' at the bottom of you game page ?
It just sends you back to your Main screen. I only knew when a Pawn messaged me saying they were trying to get theres back and this kept happening to them.

I am wondering what the status of this is. They're still dark.

I've seen a few that I haven't liked, but I also kind of know where you're coming from too.

I know we cant complain normally about KEVIN and his moving ways.
But, every time we get the suspended time thing he does this.
He was on 6 hrs ago, and has been each day and even posting on boards. He has let many games time out, but when FENCER says that it will start again, he will rush and do them.

NOW TELL ME I SHOULDNT COMPLAIN.
I reckon the games should be ended and we win.

Its understandable for players who have not been on site, but this is stupid

Im glad to see that you "listened" to my advice Fencer theres hope for you too :)

Andersp: I have not listened to any advice. There are only different kinds of questions.

Ok..sorry my mistake, forget what i said about hope then :)

But you can keep hoping, of course :-)

I have a question but im not sure if it is an "Oldhamgirl question" or "Bernice question" so i think i wont ask it :)

Try it, I am kind of talkative today :-)

You are talkative today :o)

So how about doing something about Kevin and speak to him?

It's hard to do when he's not here.
Moreover, he doesn't break any rules.
You can play unlimited number of games Steve, so why is one slow game with Kevin such a big problem?

thats not my point. he is deliberately going over the time limit. Thats past the rules surely????

Think if its a pawn or knight he is doing it to

maybe its ok for customer service rep?

Can you prove he is doing it deliberately, purposefully? I guess not.

yes, he has been on every day. he was on in the night. he has been posting on boards too. He does this every time you suspend the time.
Look at his game list, I am not the only one.

DONT make excuses for him

Why not? I can make excuses for anybody I want.

If it not deliberate or on purpose, how can it possibly be done accidentally ?? those big red numbers are a bit of a giveaway !! LOL

Fencer: would you make excuses for me?


NO

He's gone :(

Its because we run in the wrong circles Niki

LOL.. clearly :-D though how a circle can be wrong... I just don't know ?? ;-D

Steve, very good point.
Fact is, all you do gooders brush over this stuff but dont you all realize this is a situation where someone, Kevin, is basically saying "screw you" to everyone.
It is insulting to all his/her opponents and if I were in Steve's shoes, it would irk me too.
It is blatant disregard and not very good traits to have if you are customer service.

You're Fired Kevin

*rushes off to the store*
