Marshmud: take it easy please
it was just a kind suggestion to move the discussion to the board where people who are interested in the game might read it

there are some people who dont read this board as they are only interested in the games and not in the site itself ... those people might miss the discussion about the specific game

i am sure it was not meant at you personally .. just a subject which gets a lot of responses .. which therefore might be very interesting .. to show that subject to the people who are most interested in it .. and in a place where in the future people who might be interested can still find it

if i am looking for some discussion about the win/loss odds for a specific color in a specific game .. then i look at the board about that specific game

That, IMO, isn't a good enough reason. If people don't want to read board X, than that's their loss if there are a few posts on board X that they might be interested in. Hey, I don't read the music board, but that doesn't mean I'd like a thread to be continued on a board I do read if it's about a subject I might be interested in.

There will also be people who are interested in starting colour effects that do not read the Knight Fight board, and you'd hurt those people.

And, finally, one should spread threads out over boards too lightly. It becomes harder to follow a thread - specially if people search for it. One board will have a thread without an end - the other a thread without a beginning. A lose-lose situation. Considering there were only a few posts about Knight Fight in the general discussion about starting colour, I'd say keep the discussion together. If you don't want to read it, just scroll up.

AbigailII: true .. a thread shouldnt be spread up .. thats why i would love it to be possible to actually move a thread instead of directing follow up posts .. on other sites where i am a mod you can move a thread (the boards are threaded there) and leave a (shadow) link to the new location of the thread

as it is right now someone reading the discussion will also see the post (in the same discussion) which directs the follow up to another board and can follow it there

where as it stays on this board it might not be found by someone in the future searching for a specific discussion about knight fight
its especially for the archiving and future searches that its preferred to put the post on the most specific board

the subject of the colors is definetly a subject for this board .. an in depth discussion of knight fight specifically might fit best on a specific knight fight board

personally, in this case, i didnt mind staying both discussion (color and knight fight) on this board .. but i understand the reason to move it .. the reason why i responded was that the response was seen as a personal issue .. which it wasnt

but best of all would be a threaded board with the possibility to move threads and leave a shadow link :)

Marshmud:My suggestion was based on the fact that this has turned into a technical discussion of Knight Fight, and is not of general interest to readers of the BrainKing.com board.
