Do you miss something on BrainKing.com and would you like to see it here? Post your request into this board! If there is a more specific board for the request, (i.e. game rule changes etc) then it should be posted and discussed on that specific board.
I like the different levels of membership. I think its an ingenious idea to use chess pieces for levels. I don't think it segregates people, when I was a pawn I never met a rook who treated me badly because of my membership level, and I hope I have never said anything to make a pawn feel lowly since I have been a rook. From my experience the majority of people on this site are just not like that.
I think it did encourage me to buy membership though! I liked the look of the rooks next to members names and wanted one for myself! :o)
Stick with it, Fencer, theres far more people appreciate this site than you think.
Maybe we should have an 'appreciation board'! lol, we seem to have boards for everything but saying how great this site is! (only kidding!)
The people here have a better attitude than the folks at IYT. Did you hear about the "Politics" message board bein' taken down because of all the nasty hatefuls there?
I for one think that board was no good anyway, they made the right decision taking it down.
Magenta Spiral,
that right there having the poltic board closed on iyt is a fine example how a few people can ruin something for everyone. its your opinion that board needed closed down. you didnt have to read that board it was your choice to read that board. if you didnt like what was being said u didnt have to click on politics. why is it some people think the have the right to be a moral judge of other people?
sorry i know this off topic for the feature request board but i had to post back on this.
one more thing! everything in life you get what u pay for. you pay nothing so i dont know where u get off complaining about someone having a bigger piece than u.
If you ask Fencer to change the chess pieces, your asking him to change his whole game site....its called Brainking...the background is a chess board...It's his site so he can call it what he wants..
You wouldn't ask IYT, or Goldtoken to change their names...
at goldtoken you have Gold, silver, and guest,
IYT has an icon by your name...
This is just Fencer's choice...
The hundreds of checker players here would be just as happy if the chess pieces on the checker boards were replaced by checker pieces. An old request..but a goodie.
See? My point exactly! They don't get names.
Just a small icon to show their support.
But ya know I think it's useless to continue discussing about it. I say let's allow Fencer to decide. It's his site afterall. And in that way, we're all pawns ;·)
So, jeff, how would you deal with a problem like what manifested on the Politics board at IYT? I'm just curious.
Again, I'd like to point out, it was just a little idea to possibly further better the site. Fencer can just ignore the thought and I shall willingly continue to play here for free and enjoy everything else that is cool here. It matters not either way :·)
Compared to IYT, this site is like a dream. Never have I seen so many diff variations and the unlimited moves is definitely a breath of fresh air! I'm all for the support of this lovely game place! By all means, Keep up the good work!
