Subject: Questions?
Actually, I have some free time today, so if someone wants to ask a question (which would not be off-topic at this board), feel free to do it. Of course, nobody guarantees that a satisfactory answer will be provided.

Fencer: so for people who dont want to try and work out what you just said , you said it isnt BK that hasnt any problems but it is our ISP providers ............

Subject: Re: Questions?
Jason: If you mean the situation when your browser says that it doesn't know the brainking.com domain, then yes. That's a problem of local DNS resolving and cannot be affected by us.
However, there is still a chance to try any other domain (brainking.cz, brainking.de, brainking.es etc.) and switch to your language. In some cases, it can work.

Jason: It has to be very bad luck for sure, that out of the thousands of web sites, it is Brainking which gets the unlucky poor performance by all of our local companies

Czuch: I am experiencing a permanent bad performance of PayPal or eBay and I just accept it as a fact, being a direct consequence of the web structure. And I don't complain anywhere about it.

Subject: Re: That's a problem of local DNS resolving and cannot be affected by us.
Fencer: Well, if you are paying them for a service, you certainly have a right, and a duty to complain when their service isnt up to standards!

I personally dont understand, and I am sure I am not the only one, the technicalities of what we are talking about.

But it seems logical that if it isnt something being done wrong by brainking, and it is a problem with local ISPs or other local companies, then how can it be that we all have problems at the same time, when we are all on different ISPs and the like?

Are we talking semantics here?

For example, if brainking keeps changing something and the local companies have a hard time keeping up with these changes, then yes, it is not technically a brainking fault, it is a local companies problem, but you cannot really say that Brainking is blameess, can you?

Czuch: I just typed that into my Notepad, yours is worded better though lol

True, i do not get how people from every continent, can all have a site problem with the same site at the same time, yet it is nothing to do with the site

Something weird and VERY annoying i know that

MadMonkey: Perpetual complaints posted by certain users (not you) are annoying as well. We must live with many annoying things and I am sure that intelligent people cope with it.

Subject: Re: That's a problem of local DNS resolving and cannot be affected by us.
Fencer: Maybe those "certain users" think that sending annoying complaints is the only way to make you talk?

28. October 2007, 18:32:11
Fencer 
Subject: Re: That's a problem of local DNS resolving and cannot be affected by us.
Andersp: I talk when I have time to talk. It has nothing to do with a frequency of complaints.

28. October 2007, 20:05:47
Andersp 
Subject: Re: That's a problem of local DNS resolving and cannot be affected by us.
Fencer: I still think that "certain users" (not Mad Monkey)  are sending annoying complaints when they want/need an answer.

28. October 2007, 20:12:23
Fencer 
Subject: Re: That's a problem of local DNS resolving and cannot be affected by us.
Andersp: Most likely they think that sending annoying complaints can be helpful. My opinion is different.

28. October 2007, 20:15:10
Andersp 
Subject: Re: That's a problem of local DNS resolving and cannot be affected by us.
Fencer: If you ask them by their names instead "certain users" (not Mad Monkey) they might give you an answer

28. October 2007, 20:16:27
Fencer 
Subject: Re: That's a problem of local DNS resolving and cannot be affected by us.
Andersp: It would be pointless because it's me who is answering questions. I don't ask any.

28. October 2007, 20:21:11
Andersp 
Subject: Re: That's a problem of local DNS resolving and cannot be affected by us.
Fencer: So, if we ask you who those "certain users' (not Mad Monkey) are, would you answer that question too?

28. October 2007, 20:25:39
Fencer 
Subject: Re: That's a problem of local DNS resolving and cannot be affected by us.
Andersp: No, because it would start an off-topic thread with a significant risk of an unfriendly atmosphere and that's what nobody wants here.

Fencer: so the site owner prefers to say A ("certain users" not Mad Monkey) and not B (the names)...thats brave

28. October 2007, 20:40:08
Fencer 
Subject: Re: That's a problem of local DNS resolving and cannot be affected by us.
Andersp: The site owner always prefers to say what is the best for the community, not for any particular user. And he really does not care about "that's brave" opinions.

28. October 2007, 20:43:13
Andersp 
Subject: Re: That's a problem of local DNS resolving and cannot be affected by us.
Fencer: I think most people at BK know what the site owner prefers

Fencer 
Subject: Re: That's a problem of local DNS resolving and cannot be affected by us.
Andersp: Of course. They prefer to play games instead of wasting their (and my) time with attempts to start a useless argument on a public board which is supposed to provide meaningful information.

Andersp 
Subject: start a useless argument

Fencer:   YOU my firend started a useless argument by "certain users" (not Mad Monkey). Such sandbox-talk shouldnt be used by a site/company owner who is depending on our money!


Chuch..of course im disappointed how he (Fencer) cheated me in the auto-pass deal, no what pisses me off is that he on a public board tell us that "certain users" (not Mad Monkey) are annoying.  Thats a coward way to avoid any critical posts.

Andersp: "certain user here"....I'm one of them...Ive always been told to stand up in what you believe in and be outspoken about same.

TarantinoFanI Still cant get into the "info" page, but then It might only be for those with a big cheque in one hand and a brown nose in the other (so to speak)

Bernice: I rather be a "certain user" than an  "a.. -licker"  LOL...there are too many of them already.



Fencer: Continue with your "nice" behavior, im sure it will make you happy and rich.  FYI  I dont feel guilty of anything :)


(FYI = For Your Information...nothing else)

Fencer 
Subject: Re: start a useless argument
Andersp: No, I did not, my friend. I was only discussing with MadMonkey and only people who feel guilty in any way would take that unobtrusive remark as a personal attack. Anyway, it's very interesting and amusing to observe a mentality of certain people, especially their reactions to certain words. Good thing is that normal users can easily recognize who is trying to make problems just for a sake of making problems. It saves a lot of explanations.

MadMonkey 
Subject: Re: That's a problem of local DNS resolving and cannot be affected by us.
Fencer: True, i know i read them all as well

As you are having a question day
Is it possible to have a brainking Discussion board based somewhere else (maybe mctrivias or coan.net site)
In other words, if someone can not access brainking we could goto a board there and just ask if it is a all round problem, or something closer to home.
That is the most irritating, the not knowing
I had to be up for work 5.00 the other morning, so i came on before bed to catch up on those games that may time out.

As for others the site was inaccessible, but how long could or should i wait for

Maybe coan.net or Rose or someone could have an access to turn on the suspended timeouts, until you can get here the next day, but if there is no site access, do not know how

Just an idea

MadMonkey: Sure, if someone creates a discussion board dedicated to BrainKing elsewhere, I can make an official link to it and place it here and to the BrainKing.info site as well.

MadMonkey 
Subject: Re: That's a problem of local DNS resolving and cannot be affected by us.
Fencer: I think it would be great, and immensely helpful to those who are not up with Computers & connection problems

If we had a separate place to go that people could remember to look at if they could not access brainking itself

Best have a chat to coan.net, mctrivia or someone else who has there own place, if they would be happy about it

Fencer 
Subject: Re: That's a problem of local DNS resolving and cannot be affected by us.
Czuch: I never said that BrainKing was blameless. But there are problems which cannot be solved by us because it is not technically possible.

28. October 2007, 16:38:43
Czuch 
Subject: Re: That's a problem of local DNS resolving and cannot be affected by us.
Fencer: Well what can we do then? Can we contact our local ISPs and complain to them? Somebody somewhere must have an answer?

Fencer 
Subject: Re: That's a problem of local DNS resolving and cannot be affected by us.
Czuch: I have written a new blog entry today, which suggests some possible solutions. And yes, contacting your ISP is a good too.
