Please keep things positive. Best advise I believe is to try out different sites. Find what works well for you. If you don't like it, don't go back and try another site. Nothing says you only have to play on 1 site. At one time, I played on about 6 different turn-based game sites.

ketchuplover: I am offering enough credits for a 1 year subscription there, all anyone would have to do is beat me in my anti-backgammon tournament, 2nd place gets enough credits for a 6 month subscription and 3rd gets 3 months
ketchuplover: Now you have put doubt in my mind lol. 25 years does sound a lot. Perhaps it was 15 years then. Oh yes I looked further down the board and you mentioned 15 years.
Ketchup: Do you remember chessed.com? It was the first online site where I played chess, or any online game. I do not even know how many years have passed since it died. I have been on BK for too long, I guess...
