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 ............

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.

Fencer:

Jason: I am glad to see you smiling when accepting the truth.

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.

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.

Fencer: Maybe those "certain users" think that sending annoying complaints is the only way to make you talk?

Andersp: I talk when I have time to talk. It has nothing to do with a frequency of complaints.

Fencer: I still think that "certain users" (not Mad Monkey)  are sending annoying complaints when they want/need an answer.

Andersp: Most likely they think that sending annoying complaints can be helpful. My opinion is different.

Fencer: If you ask them by their names instead "certain users" (not Mad Monkey) they might give you an answer

Andersp: It would be pointless because it's me who is answering questions. I don't ask any.

Fencer: So, if we ask you who those "certain users' (not Mad Monkey) are, would you answer that question too?

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

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.

Fencer: I think most people at BK know what the site owner prefers

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: "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)

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.

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.

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

Czuch: I never said that BrainKing was blameless. But there are problems which cannot be solved by us because it is not technically possible.

Fencer: Well what can we do then? Can we contact our local ISPs and complain to them? Somebody somewhere must have an answer?

Czuch: I have written a new blog entry today, which suggests some possible solutions. And yes, contacting your ISP is a good too.
