Fencer: And PS. Don't be a hypocrite. If you want me to try something new next time how about you try it too instead of your ******** one liners.

Might be something new if you actually answered the question. What is off topic about the subject?

Fencer: Yes very unoriginal of me to ask a question!

As we all know that questions go unanswered or are replied to with snide comments from you or threats of removal by the mods.

TarantinoFan: Not too original. Try something new next time.

Off topic?

I fail to see how a discussion about the functionality of the site is off topic.

Brainking isn't running so well lately. It's Structure is failing in the eyes of quite a few members. It's Features are unviewable a lot of the time. We are refused access to it's features on a regular basis. And my personal view of it's features is that there are too many. It needs to be stripped back. Please do not feature any more red numbers until I can view the features that have been offered before and are hard to use because of lack of functionality.

And last but not least. From the tone of this board recently the Future of Brainking isn't looking so hot! I do believe the suggestion is that it's future will be a lot less solvent.

And I believe that discussion of moderators and global moderators comes under the heading of either Structure as they are an integral part of the smooth running of this site or they are a Feature of this site to be seen on every board.

So someone please tell me where the off topic is??????

pauloaguia: oh yes, ok thank you very much!

Ewe: On your message box: http://brainking.com/pt/MessageBox

Foxy Lady: I agree! Too many people are here to cause trouble, seems especially on this board!

So back on topic....I read the news about the 'trash' box but I dont see it yet, where do I look? Thanks

I really wish members would stay out of ppls private lives,it's really none of anybodys business.

ScarletRose: Just be patient. There are more things to be released this year. It's too early to specify them.

So Fencer.. how can us lifers continue to show support? Is there still a store? And why is it your Wife stopped designing T-Shirts..

I am not leaving the site at this time, just stepped down from moderating. I am working alot of odd hours, have alot going on with my family life and yes, have some trouble with my internet...some of it due to a transition from RR to comcast in my area...and probably some problems with the site here...so yes, my pages load slowly, but I have no problems with anyone on the site here and am do not want my leaving to be viewed as "being on the front lines of discontent".

We have some great new globals, and I felt that with Hrqls, coan.net and redfrog taking care of things here, this board was in good hands without me, so stepped down. That's really all there is to it. They can give the time and attention the board needs and I'm just not able to do it at this time.

Thanks to those of you for your kind words and support, but really that's all there is to it.

But can't resist one more time saying...

please return this board to its intended purpose, brainking, it's structure, features and future.

And.... thanks for understanding

redfrog: I trust he reads this board,that should do the trick.

Jim Dandy: sounds like a good idea - hrqls would be the one to ask - and maybe in a PM?? Thanks!

redfrog: maybe the definition of " use the board as its intended" needs to be redefined.

A recurring topic, an off topic, an untrue topic - all rolled into one...baddessi has her reasons, which are distorted in posts here - please get the posts here back on topic.... thanks!

anything else along this line will just be removed for the sake of those wishing to use the board as its intended...
thanks!

beach: She did not leave the site, she only stepped down from moderating the boards. Hopefully, after a break, she will mod again.

Jim Dandy: hahahaha.......gotta love this man LOL

Bernice: We "mere males" are forever appreciative that women ying our yang,never forget that

Jim Dandy: well you can guarantee it will be a beauty, because it was written by a woman, not a mere male.

and as for being "scorned" as you put it....we do not and have not ever heard from the "woman who was scorned"....have we?

Bernice: The owner needs us "certain users"/"Troll"  for the balance :)

Yikes,I'm waiting for the books to be released
I can't say the irony isn't lost on me,that some of those who previosly held the power of censoring comments regarding untrest are now on the front lines of discontent.........and I have no dog in this race

beach: congratulations LOL....you have become one of us... the selected few...."certain players"....but please remember beach, it is your fault, not the site.

Andersp: she will be missed so will all the others that have recently left. Of course with the problems here at the moment (dare I say the lack of speed and ability to be able to even play games) you cannot expect paying members to stay

Andersp:She found it too hard to moderate boards when her pages wouldnt load properly, let alone try to play her games. 

Rose: Cant blame her...well i will miss her anyway

Rose: OMG.....another one....what is this place coming to? Fencer will have to put the prices up to cover all the revenue he is losing, either that or stop going on holiday LOL

Andersp: not missing,, quit

rabbitoid:

Where is Baddessi?

srnity: try to connect... obviously.

Boot me twice and then tell me "Unable To Connect" ................................w...h...y...? What'd I do???

joshi tm: Many many thanks to Fencer for that alternate Logik piece set. At last I will be able to play Logik without writing everything down on paper

Well, if I wanted to be nitpicking, I would say that I can hardly distinguish the new green from the yellow, and that I have tried to explain in the discussion boards why letters would have been a bit better than numbers. But that is of no importance compared to the new Logik pleasure I am about to enjoy !

By the way, the team tournament waiting room is a nice improvement to. After 2006 was a year of terrific improvements and I must say that I was a bit disappointed by 2007, this makes me very optimistic about 2008

Bernice: Objection overruled.

Fencer: Good, and while you are at it, take my pic from there....I have asked 2-3 times before but you wouldnt. Now that you want me to go elsewhere you can take my pic down.

ScarletRose: Actually, I want to change the Store page a little.

Hey Fencer.. one quick question here.. Does your Wife still do the Tee-shirts? I was thinkin about getting a wee one for my grandson..

coan.net: thanks for that BBW, but I have had numerous PM's today explaining to me what the story was....I must have missed all the gossip at the time ROFL.............

Bernice: The Brain Amazon status is not for sale (well offer enough money you might get one). It is similar to a King or Queen membership, for owners and management of the site and such

joshi tm: I wonder how this will work out as the red-green color blindness is supposedly quite common ;)

Well the numbers should work for everyone. And for most people the new colors must be better. Thanks Fencer, very good upgrade.

I think a lot of Logik playes will like the Green peg now. Even I though, confused myself often in the white and grey peg.

What is a Brain Amazon and what does it cost?

I can't see anything on the paid membership page.

clueless36: lots of suggestions have been made in the past... here's an example: BrainKing.com (coan.net, 2008-01-07 15:33:52)

It may help, but it won't do miracles if the problem lies in the connection, though...

this site has become the slowest site to play on..i wonder how it can be speeded up....thanks

Andersp: That's terrible! I just made 20 moves in that time... By the way: I played around a bit, and had the feeling that the time it takes to make a move is also determined by your current goto-option. It seems to be pretty fast when I have it set to "go to the next game", and it seems to take much longer when I have "go to the next game of this type" for instance. This might be a random observation, but I could imagine that the database lookup for the latter option is taking longer (perhaps because there is no index that combines timeout date and game type...). Anyone had the same experience or was it just a coincidence?

4 minutes to make one move!!  ..no complaint..just info 

Purple: Yes, i can see 3 Checkers challenges, 2 yours and 1 Nirvanas, yet if you are Checkers Captain you should see Nirvanas

Be so much easy if everyone could see everything

Is there anyway that in the random games and matches etc that we can have some kind of rating?

MadMonkey: You can see what I can't..perhaps because you are also Captain. I see only
"there are no team challenges that you can accept." The key words are probably that "you" can accept which excludes all but Captains. Rats.

Purple: You will only be able to see challenges in Teams that you are Captain of (you can not see your own though).

I can see you Checkers ones in there at the moment.

coan.net: Am I to understand that the Big Boss can not only not post the team to the waiting room but can not even see if there are challenges up there? That would explain why I hit "teams" and get "none available." This is unfortunate.
