heavenrose: . No one knows if by remembering someone who has died is not letting them rest in peace. I am sure dien is at peace now. I think what has shocked us is that he was so young. Also he was popular and a very good player. Most people like to show their respect for him by posting a message.

heavenrose: I don't understand why you think people avoid him to be in piece only because they are saying goodbye and sharing their good memories. Everyone has the right to say goodbye as far it is respectful, or why do you think it's negative ?

Bernice: Yes, you’re right, to ignore someone is not respectful. As in games when we say hello and we wish good luck and some players never answer, not a smiley, not the minimum hi gl. It’s the same : to ignore the opponent isn’t respectful. People concerned will recognize themselves...

Mélusine: it is only RESPECT from his fellow players...I didnt know either of the deceased, but send condolences to both families....Heavonrose, if it was you or anyone in your family you might get the same respect...

heavenrose: I see what you mean but he was a very good player, look at his profile and you’ll see he was number one in several games and this is exceptional. We just wanted to recognize his value as player. Sincere thoughts for him and his family.

moistfinger: Yes I agree with you.

heavenrose: Let people remember him and respect him in the way they feel fit.

s3v3n: Tragic news, we played backgammon a few times, lovely guy. He wasn't very old, gone too soon :(

Hrqls: No one makes anyone leave because they claim they are being bullied. They choose to leave it is their own choice. Also you cannot always believe what someone tells you on the internet.

s3v3n: :-( he was a very good line (connect4 and connect6) player as well ... my favourite opponent, had some great games with him, and a very friendly player

my condolences tg everyone who knew him, and strength to his family

cd power: I did not know awesome. And again very sad.

s3v3n: it was mentioned on the missing people discussion board the other day. Very sad.

Coincidentally, I just received notice yesterday that “awesome” passed away of a heart attack on August 24. He mostly played loop chess here. RIP awesome and dein

I'm very sorry to inform brainking community that my good friend and your fellow player - dein - has passed last week. A great pente, gomoku and renju player, one of the best that Poland ever had, suffered heart attack and unfortunately it wasnt possible to save him :( His games won't be finished..:(

Carnie:Well, I can "hear you" now, as when I look at the game record it does indeed now show that you timed out and lost, in spite of you having made the last move. Very odd. I'd suggest sending Fencer another message.

Carpe Diem: I see Carnie won the game and the opponent timed out
which shows that it wasn't Carnies turn but the opponents. so the game history was right :-)

Carnie congrats on your win

about the bully subject you addressed aside : i don't see much bullying lately .. and if it does please let me (or another mod) know and we will take care of it

people are not leaving this site because of bullies (afaik) but because the site isn't managed anymore .. the owner (Fencer) has stated that he doesn't have time for it anymore and has other priorities. He is kind enough to let the site running so we can still play though

Carnie: I'm confused by "I thought people left this place because of bullies but I see the owner doesn't care." - were there some posts deleted? I sure didn't see anyone bullying you, but maybe you're referring to something else.

Carnie: carnie, it IS now your turn in the next game - he lost on time, and the next game started. Why don’t you check it in the game?

Aganju: now I have just seen a GREEn dot next to his name - which must mean he is online ....the green dot I am referring to is beside the game TIMELINE - e g time left to play .....sorry

Carnie: ask Rod if he can help you if Fencer wont...or ask Fencer direct.

rabbitoid: Yes I am fully aware of both those options.

Hrqls: Yup. And below the game board, it says:

Carnie: you are black, and bacl made the last move according the move history ... your opponent has to move
