Antje: I know last year.. when we were all getting our life timers ($400 US) we were pretty much satisfied with the speed of the site.. now, a year later we are told to leave if we don't like it.. hmm..

Sorry if this is boring to some of you newbies out there.. I shall have to remember some of your comments when you have the same experiences..

That's way too simplistic. That's like saying since it takes some people more than an hour to drive from The Hague to Amsterdam, but it takes some people less, there cannot be traffic jams - they must have slow cars. You're discounting the fact that traffic jams don't occur all the time. It's the same with the connection to Brainking. The fact that some people consider everything to be fine doesn't mean that there isn't a problem. It maybe that those people play at different times than the people complaining. It maybe that the people who consider everything to be fine have low expectations. It maybe that the people who have no problems happen to have a provider that has good peering with Brainkings provider, and the people that have problems have providers with bad peering agreements. Or maybe the Check Republic has just one lousy connection to the USA, and an excellent connection to Italy, so people from the USA will complain, and people from Italy will say it's fine. (And yes, Brainking *can* do something about that (relocate for instance), if it were the case - but 'can' is something else than 'should').

Now, I've my own ideas about whether or not there are problems, and if there are whether or not it's something BK can or should address. Fencer has made it quite clear what his viewpoint is. Expressing your disagreement in a public folder doesn't do anyone any good. Play here as long as you can tolerate it - and if it become to slow for you, vote with your feet.

But I will speak up if someone expresses himself naively.

NOT a floosie:

Many posts ago i suggested that Fencer has to learn to treat his customers with more respect OR "hire" people who can serve at the "Courtesy desk".  It doesnt help if they change the description of this board if we dont get any answers from the owner or if he tells us to not feed the Trolls and other arrogant stuff

Obviously he has plenty of time since he can add trash cans and other unneeded stuff, why cant he use that time to try to fix the connection speed?. People doesnt complain just because its fun, people complain because they have a reason.

Add the silly oneliners and "off topic" signs  (seems that each mod has his rules) and you have a messy discussions board..

You want to keep waving "off-topic" graphics in everyone face? Then I think you start by being clear what the board is about - not as a post interpreting your idea what the charter of the board is, but by writing it down in the charter.

Hrqls: I just wanted it stated by a moderator that my post wasnt off topic.

Nope...by double standards i was referring to those who threaten to remove/ban for off topic posts and then post their own.

Redrrogs 'game post" was posted dec 25 in case someone thinks that im lying...go and check it   c/p isnt allowed.

Hrqls: You agree with my points but still you think that Jason's "off topic" sign is ok?

My post was an explanation why this board goes wrong and if that is off topic than i have seen posts 100 times more off topic.

Not long ago a mod (Redfrog) posted how many points he scored in a game...what has that to do with Brain Kings future?

double standards? 

TarantinoFan: Yes i agree...the "oneliners" who think they are funny with their smileys are the worst spammers.

As i see it there are 2 problems here:

1. Fencers never (or VERY SELDOM)  answer  "uneasy" questions from honest people (those he calls "ceratin users").

2. If a constructive discussion starts then either mods or the "oneliners" makes the discussion go lost in too many childish "smiley posts"
