Server upgrade in progress Great News!

We are in the process of upgrading our server. To do this, we must ensure the integrity of our data as we complete the move, so you will not have access to the website until the upgrade is complete.

While we can't provide you a timeline of when this will be completed, our best estimate is that this process shouldn't take more than a few hours.
Rest assured that no game timeouts will occur during this period.

When we complete the upgrade and bring the site back online, it will be a faster, more responsive system, capable of handling the increasing load that comes with our site's popularity.
Be sure to check back in a few hours!

coan.net: Been playing the boats more & more there now

Those diagonal ones make it a great game as the board is based on squares, therefore boats can go across each other (A1, B2, C3, D4 & D5) and the other (D1, C2, B3 & A4) for example.

You can set the games to include diagonal boats or not, and also have boats that just use ONE space, would be like having one Frog in the game OR we could call it Life Raft (great idea monkeyboy lol)

In fact what is great about BugCafe, well a few of there games, is you can create your own rules as such, like design your own Scrabble boards, any size you wish, and set bonus squares anywhere you wish them, how ever many tiles you want.

Would be great if we could do that here with Boats here, decide how many of which boats we use in a game

In fact be great if we could do it for any game here that Fencer can not find time to make even the smallest changes for

coan.net: I have just joined yourturnmyturn

Like the set up, but have to find my way about yet.
Just played a practice game against the computer there at Guess the Code (Logik here) and love the colour selection process. Maybe we could have drop boxes with colours instead of words

Will pop back there later to have a look and maybe play a game. Found coan.net, my first friend their lol, added you, but not found out how to find if you are online or not yet lol

Great news about the new server. It will be super when GT is fast and efficient.

HOWEVER ... there is a teeny weeny problem with the update. The new server is located in California, and they got hit with the worst storm in California history. So the update is going to take longer than expected - I believe it will be finished about 6 hours from now. If the transfer aborts because of the storms then it will have to be redone, but lets hope it all goes through smoothly first time.

Eriisa: What time was that posted?

oh, the beta site is working.

http://beta.goldtoken.com/

MadMonkey: I don't visit yourturnmyturn as much as I use to (once Dice Poker & Logic where brought here), but I did find your invite and accepted it. I still have my paid membership there, but I found that so few people are on the site - the games with the same people started to get a little boring.

Now if you want a challenge - try http://www.jijbent.nl - which is the dutch language sister site of YourTurnMyTurn - and very popular (of Dutch speaking people). I don't understand a thing, but I did manage to get into a few games & tournaments and found there was a lot more of a challenge in the logic game on the Dutch site then the English site.

Eriisa: Yea, hopefully GoldToken is back up soon..... just now, a few minutes ago I again could not access this site - usually not a big deal since I will just go to GoldToken to play games over there until this site is available - but now - UGH - no where to play.

(Guess I better go check out BugCafe again like I said I was going to do.)

Oh, and GoldToken's beta site is up because it is on a completely different server as I understand it.....

coan.net: yep, I'll always joke that I can get my fix on beta.

coan.net: That's no challenge for me, although I don't play on Jij Bent.

coan.net: Thanks, i will go look

I have been playing a dutch lady at logic there and she told me about that site as well

On BugCafe as well, just a side note, they released a Newsletter last week, guess it is still there, and this year they are addressing several of the major issues about the site, the size & set up of the Main Manager page being one

This msg was posted from firefly on one of the discussion boards. There were issues with the new server installed and some people are having difficulty logging in.

Use http://goldtoken.com/ to log into the site.

The old URL with the www in still points to the old server, and, though you may get a log-in page, you won't be able to get in.

Mecir, one of our programmers, has this to say...

"That will fix itself in a while. We cannot do a thing about that, it's the nature of the internet. Specifically, your local name server still remembers that "www.goldtoken.com" means our old server, so when you try to access it, it will simply go to there without checking if it still is the correct location. The stored information will expire within the next 24 hours, then your local name server will once again ask the GoldToken's servers where "www.goldtoken.com" is, it will be given the proper location, and from then on, it will work for you."

So for the moment try using http://goldtoken.com/

or if this doesn't work then try http://sisyphus.goldtoken.com/

Eriisa: Thanks for that - I was just coming to this board to find the GT MSN board so I could see what was going on.

The www.Gt address got to a login, but I could not get in.

The beta site is now getting the "site is down" message.

I know the www.gt address is still pointing to the old place - but I'm wondering why they just did not keep up the page that points to either of the new addresses.... instead of a login page that does not work. O'well - I'm back in now - that is what matters.

Can be found here: http://128.177.2.25

Looks like they forgot to renew the domain. :)

Hey does anyone play the game online, if so invite me to a game some time im addicted lol, x box screen name is furby690

furbster: hmmm well i do not, but my son is here this weekend and i brought him it for Xmas, so who knows

gamedriven is up n going again
they change it alot

TheCrazyPuppy: Wow it sure would be nasty if after taking all that money that paid members have to repay... ouch

Rose: lol, would you repay?

TheCrazyPuppy: you have to send Mick an email to gamedriven@gmail.com with your user id and password go get access.

i decided I didn't need to go back there just now.

Vikings: Ha!  Not on your life. The site owner isnt the most scrupulous person out there. He used to read peoples private PMs to see what was being said about him and tossed out a lot of really good honest ppl because he is so mega paranoid thinking they were all spies for this site..
Not to mention taking a ton of life time memberships not that long ago then closed up shop with out so much as a word of warning. They would be *** insert crazy word of choice here*** to think people will really pay again there.

Rose: I was a spy from Gold Token, or so I was told.

I was one of the lucky ones - he threw me out about 1 day before I was about to pay.

coan.net: he threw me out the day he read my private note from another player asking me if I was going to pay.. When I said no I didnt think so, to this other player ( who also got tossed out the day I did) he locked us out.. when I emailed him his reply was why bother since I wasnt going to pay.. even tho he said in the beginning that there were going to pay and free accounts.. Hes one messed up dude.

TheCrazyPuppy: I feel badly for the ones who bought lifetime memberships. I was only out a yearly fee.

Has anyone here played at Greatfungames?

FallenSword RPG - Play online now free!
it is a great site !

jessica:

Need more hours in the day, I cant seem to pry myself away from pogo lately..

LOL

my fav site is itsyourturn.com but a great 2nd fav is pocket monkey!
nice folk & friendly owners ;o)

or2ak.com: Yeah i play at Pogo, its a brilliant site, i like to play the badge challenges

Snoopy: yes there is

It's cool that you can talk about other game sites here. At another notable site, whose name I won't mention, but which rhymes with Hoboken, you're not allowed to.

I like Jijbent.nl. They have highly talented gamers there. I'm ranked number 5 in Dipole (a game I designed), and that's artificially high. It's left over from the beginning when I was beating everyone. Now I don't have a prayer.

I'm still ranked number one at the American sites. I'll let you draw your own conclusion. Keep in mind I don't have a whole lot of game playing talent.

Site down for maintenance
bla bla bla
Please check back in a few hours.

uh oh

rabbitoid: It's back. They just added a few new things they were testing over on there test site.

coan.net: it's back? not in this neck of the woods

Jim Dandy: Well it is down again. There was an update that went wrong, and as they tried to roll it back - something was not working correctly.

I read it on the beta site (which is now down also), but they also have a MSN group that they keep very active, and if you go there - you will find an update about the current downtime. (I just got back to the computer so apparently what they thought was going to be an easy fix earlier was not.... and also brought down the beta server in the process...)

Jim Dandy: Oh, I did find the link to the MSN group:

http://groups.msn.com/Goldtoken-com

They will post updates there until GT is back up and running. (Already announced that time outs would be off once they do come back up)

Snoopy: Do you ever have problems with pogo crashing you??

I started playing dominos there, but before the game is done, I'm crashing. Kinda maddening. Yet I was able to play Keno there for quite a bit longer.

Snoopy: if you go to the news section and then to the tiki bros. archives they tell you what to do for almost every problem, and you need to allow popups at pogo to be able to play, also rebooting and keeping your cache empty helps there a lot. it is a great site, and the new mahjong is fun. it's an addicting fun site.

do it again with 2 new games in one week
this time its for club pogo members only
its called Addiction Solitaire

and yes its very addicting

Snoopy: i'm trying to play it but i can't figure it out. i'll have to keep reading the rules. looks like fun.

ellieoop: It is fun ), i was playing it for 3 hrs yesterday, it was frustrating aswell, took me 1hr to win one game lol

Summer Flame: i guess i'll take the tutoral tour, i cannot figure out how to move the cards to where i want them, and what to do with the yellow hilighted cards and the dotted deuce. i don't know how i achieved rank 2. LOL..

ellieoop: lol i have no idea how to play it either lol

ellieoop: okay ive played a game to check
right the yellow highlighted cards are the ones that gave you your bonuses or bonus moves
the dotted dueces mean you can move any of the available deuce to that space

ive found the easier way to play it is just click on the empty spaces and the cards move themselves

Wooohoooo BugCafe has now released Cribbage as well as Canasta

at pogo.com golf solitaire

Snoopy: yep i been playing that, good game
