Bernice: A friend of mine who plays in here had the same problem too.

Bernice: Same here. I click on "Yes" to stop running script... hopefully that's the right choice.

I get a different message at another site that tells me a cross script is running. I have no idea what these runny scripts or cross scripts are all about, but so far it hasn't prevented me from doing anything.

Iamon lyme: it hasnt stopped me from doing anything either...but that darned flying contraption dont fly until I say yes...at least I know it is BK and not me....Thanks crosseyed, for your input as well....makes me feel much better knowing it isn't myself....

Change your settings:

From the menu on the left of the main BrainKing page, choose Settings from under Profile. Then, on the General tab (which should be the default) at the very top is Main Layout. Change to one of the other layouts. Then you won't see the dragon and the script that runs it should stop being run whenever you bring up that page.

HIH

Thad: thanks but that didnt work...and tried all settings....I click on login and have to wait until I get the "message" click on YES to stop running the script and then on login AGAIN and then that silly damn things flies across the page and then I am in...:(

Bernice: I have noticed that too, and the same pop-up appears at logout; a real nuisance! The problem is that the castle layout is programmed into the log-in page, and settings only controls a player's main page. I'm surprised more players haven't mentioned this here.

It would be much easier (and less aggravating) if the site figured out what recent change has caused this, and alleviate it, or just get rid of that goofy bat (or whatever it is flying across the screen) altogether.

Pioneer54: it's a Dragon, by the way.

If you bookmark not the login page, but instead any other page (like list of your games), it doesn't bother you anymore.

WOW.........what has happened.........no annoying scripts this morning ;)

HAHAHAHA....I couldnt believe it so I logged off and came on again....WOOT....n o t h i n g...yippee

Bernice: My friend was able to play his games today.

crosseyed: amazing isn't it...**shakes head**

Yes it is. I am glad you are now able to play your games without any problems.

anyone having problems with thier screen bouncing from side to side for a second or two??

bert515: Yes, mine has been doing that off and on for several weeks now.

bert515:  Ya know.. I get that a time or two.. sometimes it winks at me also.. but, I usually am kicked back with a Margarita.. 

$14,057.69 (as of June,18,2013)

ketchuplover: How did you arrive at that conclusion?

Pedro Martínez: so would i Pedro. i have been playing at this site for years. i think ketchup needs to take math 101 again.

Pedro Martínez: Funny. You can Google : "What is Brainking.com worth?" and you find figures that are quite different from each other. Wonder who determines which is "correct".

ranging from 72,000 to over 370,000.

Artful Dodger: "worth" and what you could actually get for it are usually two different things.I'm not sure what the market is these days

Artful Dodger: 72,000 to over 370,000 WHAT? peanuts? lollipops? Baht perhaps LOL.

Artful Dodger:
ranging from 72,000 to over 370,000

I am more inclined to trust these estimates:
http://awcheck.me/en/site/brainking.com
http://brainking.com.w3snoop.com/

Pedro Martínez: haha I checked my blog and it's worth 9 dollars. It's owned by blogspot. I do get about 50-100 page visits a day and am nearing the 200,000 page visits marks. As for the 9$ worth of my blog, that's twice as high as I'd rate it.

Pedro Martínez: I would say this is more like it....very poor dollars if sold.... but as I said BAHT....would make it about the same MAYBE ROFL.....

Bernice: what is baht?

Currency of Thailand.
Looks like it take 31 of them to make 1 U.S. dollar.

XE has all the currencies:

Pedro Martínez: Really? I have no idea what the site is worth (nor do I know why anyone really cares), but it seems pretty apparent that those sites are automatically calculating revenue based on a site's ad revenue potential. I doubt there's any automated website that calculates a site's paid membership revenues. 

I wonder what fencer's making of all this.

Heluvagi: he is probably laughing himself to death as he holidays in some foreign location LOL

Heluvagi: I don't think he can be arsed. He has stated several times that BK is no longer one of his priorities. This and the deterioration of this site I (and actually, we all) have been experiencing is also making me believe that BK is not worth much for the time being.

This site is worth lots to me. I wish Fencer was more active like he was eight years ago, but it's still a great site. I too am a lot less active on this site than I was back then, but I blame that on the creation of the global moderators and some of the things that happened at the beginning of that period. In fact, it was a link by you Pedro that tricked me into ending my personal embargo of this discussion board.

Walter Montego: agreed Walter...the GLOBS as they aare/were called for short have a lot to answer for don't they....strange how people know that but dont say it....thanks very much for confirming what I (and others) have been saying for years.

Walter Montego: Like you this site is worth lots to me too. I think it's a great site to play in when all is working as it should. Long may this site continue to run.

Walter Montego: me too!

Check out this game. Yeah, I lost. Ludo (Artful Dodger vs. Wilhelmina)

Artful Dodger: sometimes you need to accept superior strategy. You are just not up to that level of play... ;-)

Aganju: I should have quit when I was behind!

Aganju: I should get some sort of achievement recognition for that. Oh Fencer!!!

Artful Dodger: I kept saying that game had a bug.
So I won't play it now.

crosseyed: I got out a couple of times but kept getting sent back in. I had 53 moves, 35 of which were passes. Only 3 times did I roll a 6. Each piece was knocked back in. I think it's likely rare as it's never happened to me before. But it would be interesting to calculate the odds!

Artful Dodger: Think it is never right to have so many passes. And that is what puts me off play Ludo in here.

crosseyed: I would love to see Fencer add Express Ludo to the site - the same game setup, with the following changes:

You can take a piece out of your home area with a 1 or 6

You roll 2 die EVERY TURN, and only 2 die - doesn't matter if you get a 6 and get an extra roll - just 2 roll each turn.

You can also use the 2 rolls like gammon - can use each die for different pieces, or same piece, in any order (but like gammon - have to use both if possible).

For Ludo being one of the most popular games on the site - and people liking games that are quicker - think it would be a very popular variant (and hopefully not very much extra programming.)

coan.net:I like the idea of making a more interesting Game of Ludo although it surely would create a much longer version with more strategy involved.

coan.net: That would be a far more interesting version of Ludo.

coan.net: On August 23 2010 you asked Fencer to implement that game and he said it would be easy.

Marshmud: I'm sure it would… If… :))

Pedro Martínez: ROFL
................Pedro

Marshmud: That is why I keep mentioning it every once and awhile - I know he is busy with real life, but you never know when he might feel like sitting down for awhile and doing a little programming of a new game. Something like this, or maybe a 6 color logik game variant would be something he can do some-what easily.
