Andersp: Thats what its there for , as long as its clean discussion, you can talk about what you like

Andersp: the chatroom was set up specifically for brainking users to use for brainking chat.

this is a problem why?

Andersp: freedom of speech is allowed .. just use the appropriate channels for it .. lets try to keep this place a bit structured

Andersp: its allowed to discuss the bad perfomance of brainking on this board .. its definetly about brainking .. and its definetly allowed as you can see below

discussing the internal workings of the chatroom should more belong on the computer board, but the announcement as done below is allowed on here

Andersp: by posting the comments into the blog they would be collected there and it gives an even better structure .. almost like having a different thread

(i would love separate threads on the discussion boards .. i love structure :))

constructive comments or ideas on how to improve the sites performance are always welcome on this board ..

(of course thats my opinion as the mod of this board, while the comment you quoted is from the site owner on his blog site ;))

Hrqls: I asked in Feature requests if we could have a board to post blog comments but he has probably been too busy to give me an answer yet.

Andersp: The blog comments section is the best place to post blog comments.

Fencer: ..and where can people post comments about the site's performance?

Andersp: http://brainking.info/archives/414-About-the-complexity-part-1.html
http://brainking.info/archives/436-About-the-complexity-part-2.html
http://brainking.info/archives/437-About-the-complexity-part-3.html

Andersp: about the sites performance : here or on the blog site or on general chat or the computer board or features request

as long as the posts are in line with the subject of the board

as said before : constructive posts are the most welcome ones :)

Andersp: That was my initial though,it's not good for business to have unhappy campers in full view of prospective customers

Hrqls: i guess I'm just missing something.... it surely seems to me that the best place to post about the site performance would be at the blog entry that is dedicated to the site performance.

A post would not get over-run by other topic posts as happens a lot on these boards.

Eriisa: Sure...next time a paying member wants to inform the site owner that Brain king is very slow he/she must try to find one of Fencer's three links, then try to register to the blog and then type the post hoping that at least someone shall see it.

Do you really believe that anyone will do that?

Andersp: Well, the advantage of ranting on the blog is that you can use a different name (someone elses name for instance), and create an account under that name.

In fact, you could create 500 accounts and have 500 people complaining how slow the site is.

AbigailII: LOL...true but i dont think anyone should read any of those 500 complaints :)

Andersp: *3* Well, it does keep it off the main page here where prospective members might see it and change their minds about becoming a member.

there is a link to an article on the blog site on top of this board. you dont have to search for the 3 links in fencer's post

you can post your complaints in here
there are other subjects on this board though which might be buried when everytime when someone encounters a slow connection to brainking posts a message about it ... this other subjects deserve some attention as well

when posting it on the blog site it will be summarized, everyone can get a quick overview and its even easier to see how many people have problems with the connection to brainking (those posts wont be buried by other posts on this board)

i hope its clear now that you can post your complaints on here, but its more structured to post it at the blog site, and other subjects on this board might also come in view that way :)

Andersp: Better tell most of the worlds goverments that then. They love to do it.

Jules: I would hardly think that Filip Rachunek could be classed as, or even compared to a "world government"....in fact in the world of business/government he is a very small fish indeed LOL.....

Bernice: Yes this is a small bit of the cyber world yet it means so much to many. You can't argue with that.

NOT a floosie: Well, it does keep it off the main page here where prospective members might see it and change their minds about becoming a member.

Its hard to tell for sure, but you make it sound like that is a bad thing?

Wouldnt someone want to know, and have a right to know, before they purchase a membership, that any problems they may have encountered are inherent in the "system of the internet" and are not "fixable", at least from the Brainking end, and they will likely continue into the future?

Thats why there is a free level on this site, to give someone the opportunity to see if they like it here or not, before they buy into it.

Some might think that any perceived "slowness" might be something temporary, when in fact it is likely a permanent side effect of the internet itself.

I think it would be a good idea to even have a few things posted, maybe on FAQs page or the paid membership page, things like what browsers work best with Brainking, which ones dont, that if you live far away from the Czech Rpublic and you use a slow dial up service and you prefer IE then you are likely to experience certain "problems" etc., these are all important notices for any prospective paying member, dont you agree?

Andersp: beside the extra hassle of having to create another account, and going to a different site, there's another reason why people may not want to post a comment at brainking.info: if you post there, your name will link to your email address, something that is hidden from other users at the brainking.com site.

AbigailII: Just delete the email address before posting. It's not mandatory.
That's what I do every time I comment (I just wish I had an option to turn it off completely)

Andersp: I asked for one ages ago, and the answer i got is quite true

We have one, its called General Chat

Andersp: I figure if you sang your discontent,it would qaulify for the music,board,but maybe that's just me trying to drum up some business

Jim Dandy: I have a good one for that lmbo!

Jim Dandy: Nah..the music board isnt on my favorite list anymore 

Andersp: We can have an ABBA night,just say the word
