yes: as a negative consequence, a lot of high rated pawns getting disgusted with the site too early ( = before making the decision to go "paid") and going elsewhere. the internet is big.
wow. it has also a "send message to your opponents" editbox. anyone care to set a side bet on how many lines of rubbish will accumulate there in 2 days time?
Fencer, I'd say there's a little problem there: when I read the news on the main page, and click "go away", it doesn't show again when you edit it later.

ScarletRose: you say that servers are not Gods... but of course they are! now Filip, THERE's the fault! you must have forgotten to sacrifice your daily pawn! now let's see the list...
I thought the vacation counter is reset on January 1st?
I've just looked at mine, and it says 30 left. I know I've taken days in July, I think I've checked 15 days. mind you, I'm not complaing...
it allows you to maintain a high BKR in games like screen chess, or battle boats, dark chess, whereever there's an element of surprise in the initial move. in case you don't like the initial setup zap it! no penalty! other than, in my case for example, not to be invited ever again :)
Fencer: I see the gothic chess discussion board messages wider than my screen. I have to scroll left-right to see the messages. it seems it has a character wrap problem. It shows the same using mozilla and (yuck) internet explorer. I didn't have the problem earlier today.
my screen is set to 1024*768.
Argomento: may I suggest a more elaborate color code?
for example:
green dot: friendly player online
blue dot: player online
red dot: obnoxios player online (make him wait)
purple dot: turtle online (answer this one first, before he goes away)
black dot: enemy online
login or login password is no longer remembered, even if you check the "remeber me on this computer" box.
is this intentional? I think I recall that Fencer said it would be different in 2.0
no, take your time: better to wait some more weeks to make all the tests, than to have to have to restore the backup of now - 3 months at some later time, when some user stumbles on the unknown killer bug
it would be even simpler if the system selected a white move at random, and with about the same result.
are there still suckers to play white for maharajah? I would have thought that by now everyone is aware that white always loses this game - I guess that's why he's represented as a pigeon :)
I don't know about you, but as for me, and I suppose many other payers, many of the games are against pawns. so what would be the point in allowing us to play, but locking the pawns out?
just a personal note: I've suffered from an accute attack of boredom reading the latest pro/anti Ed deluge. as a temporary cure I've unchecked all favorite boards and non-game clubs except this one. I might have a look again in a month or two, but am not certain. in the meanwhile, kids, I'll see you over the gameboards and perso messages. see you around
and if he's been barred, what about his unfinished games?
whatever you may think about his conversation style, the guy has an impressive chess record of almost 100 wins, 1 loss and 2 draws.
his 2 games against me are due to timeout in less than 48 hours, and as for me, it would upset me to "win" points this way. can his games be put on hold? or marked as not-counting towards BKR?

how did you manage to find someone to bother you in such a short time? just curious.
the idea is nice, but what happens in game like battle boats, or the dark variants, where the whole purpose is to find out what the other guy is hiding?
4000+ registered players, but only about 1/2 of them are alive. one of the things I like about this site is that you can verify things. go to the "player list", sort by "last action". you have then to go beyond page 44 out of 82 to see players that did anything the past month
