it would be nice that google ad sense would not lead to a longer waiting time ... if the responsible page could not be reached you have to wait and in some time a timeout occur.
playBunny: There are many piccies with awful grimaces which e.g. Bosko and I and other surely want to switch off.
What is the problem about making a switch in preferences: "Show other players avatars: Yes No"?
playBunny: I do not know anything about Backgammon, but in my opinion - as I said in a previous message - improvemenst should concentrate at BG in the moment.
The chess (variants) community here has a lot of games, thanks. But there are other customers.
Andersp:
I think Fencer added so many chess games in last time so that is it enough for the moment. I think most of us chess game players need to digest the so many new games at first.
I do not know anything about Backgammon, but I think in the next time the major improvements should belong to backgammon games.

ellieoop: centralized information management vs. collaborative wiki way - both with advantages and disadvantages. (in fact I think, a wiki will solve some moderator problems here)
But this is off-topic here. I will set up a wiki and everybody is welcome.
WhiteTower: Either turning off background image in your settings (do not know if pawns can do that) or blocking this special image only with your browser.
WhiteTower: I think Fencer decided well to use "Sonneborn-Berger" as the name ... I think in chess world this name is more known and used than "Neustadtl Score".
Nothing political struggle. I am just wondering about the "Neustadtl-Score"-English Wikipedia.
miuek: my "stone" was painted on the fly in a few seconds in photoshop. just to make draft.
of course other colour patterns and so on can be used and other way of shadowing/lightning. No problem.
playBunny: thanks. it is a simple "stone", OK. (In German we say often "Stein" for a figure, and "Stein" is also english stone).
OK. Tell me please which colour and pattern you wish
Pedro Martínez: Describe "stone". I do not know what you mean. And I do not knwo the rules and not exactly what is meaned. So describe me more exactly this "stone" and I can paint it.
Pedro Martínez:
1) would be nice to see that in the privacy statement
2) i am not a complete layman. i have a discussion board site and i am a mod in other sites whith discussion-boards.
and in this sites there are separated areas like fellowships too. even not an admin can directly access them.
e.g. when i notice that fencer is online in "Political Cliches - Downing of Civilization" although he is no member there so this is strange.
Of course i know that admins must be have accessiblity to such areas, but it looks better when they do it in the database or in a way in which others can not notice it.
Fencer: On the other hand, the real admins - Liquid and me - have a full access everywhere. But that's what everyone must accept. Then it would be nice to define that in the rules here.
myfanwy: No fellowship can be guaranteed to be private. Copying and pasting by one or more of its members sees to that. This is not that what i mean.
Otherwise, I believe fellowships are secure. I think there was a bug that allowed non-members to view but that has been sorted out. Don't quote me on that though. And if a non-member is an admin here? This is it what i mean.
In my opinion an admin here has to handle fellowships in the same way as a sysadmin the mails of his administrated server. I am a sysadmin and i think and do so.
A question: Is the absolutely privacy of fellowships guaranteed? is it guaranteed that not anybody, who is not member of the fellowship, can look in it?
Can it be guaranteed that this was not done and will not be done?
M132T003C: maybe phpbb can be implemented ... or what about a part as boards.brainking.com with all the boards on a separate page. Maybe IN the board brainking-specific tools except the ursername/password are no needed, e.g. online status and so on.
it would be more clearly if the discussion boards can be viewed thread-based. at the main page of the DB showing the threads and only them. clicking on one would expand the choosen thread and only this one.
Note: This would be easier for our moderator "mafia" using their weapon arsenal. ;-)
Fencer: The idea is good, but I am against it. An example: In Loop Chess I am currently playing 8 games against Noger, and my opponent and i are playing in every loop chess tournament here. so we will soon reach the amount 10 or more simultaneously played games against each other.
But it is obviously when somebody got a high rating without playing against more players ...
It is highly needed to improve the rating system in another case. How can it be that people are reaching a rating of 2300 and more with only a few amount of games?!
morphy4ever: it is not here the place to discuss about walter or danoschek, but i am requesting moderating in terms of openness. The way for that is self-organizing. if user X does not like user Y, he will set him on hide and done. and if more people do this the hidden people will recognize it ... look at the wikipedia. open content - open source. the community is handling this tool in a collaboratively way.
Walter Montego: You say danoschek is banned? I'm not sure how you got this information, but if it's true
Danoschek is banned. And my opinion about this is: this is an echo of the ugliest ages of censorships. yes, way to democracy takes more than 15 years?!
in the ages of collaborative working in wikis and other tools the way for controlling is self-organizing.
baudrillard: Fencer is required by law (under the Czech Republich Personal Data Protection Act of April 4, 2000) to provide a method to delete the account. If a database holds personal information including published words (anything written in public on a site like this is recognised as 'published') they may only hold that information with the consent of the author. I have withdrawn my consent. Therefore, my account must be deleted. This is pretty standard in International laws regarding Data Protection.
Well Fencer, that is easy to solve. Make a form for "leaving", pointing out at it that all personal and public data will be anonymized or deleted and rename the account. Let the ID be ... this ID is necessary, I understand.
baudrillard: apropos banned: it would be nice to explain why people are banned ... this is more and highly needed since the inofficial feature "general ban from all boards" is used.
baudrillard: Fencer said here some weeks ago that a deletion is not possible. I can understand that - but maybe there should be a status active / inactive.
BIG BAD WOLF: So it depends on how you look at it. The (1 NEW) message is a feature so people know there are new posts. But since the new post is hidden, then some may look at it as being a bug since even though there is a new post, it can not be read.
Exactly THAT I mean. It is a bug. And if you find irony in my posting you can keep it yourself.
Onderwerp: Re: [OT] strange ... but can me somebody explain this?
BIG BAD WOLF: I tried to hide somebody for testing ... then a list appeared that I had set this persopn to hidden. I took it back and all got OK.
So I have nobody hidden here. Hey ... it is necessary to run a cron at my server, WGETting every 15 seconds http://brainking.com/game/Board?bc=3 ?!
