To my fellow players:
My apologies for timed out games. I'm hoping to have the games reinstated as soon as possible and with Fencer's help. My webtv sure wasn't very "user friendly" for many days.

In the haystack????!!!

Your best bet where water is concerned..LOL

we'd all have are act together!!!

Bumble....if you timed out with me and I can correct the matter...OK. IF not..You can expect the invite from hell!!!..LOL

Thanks "Mad"! I will get to my message box and get the game numbers.....YOU are included!!!!

Thanks MM...I'll meet you at the one game I didn't time out on....if all goes according to my plan....007 maybe?

I hate having the shakes!!!

he will do just fine and stay awake in the process!!!!

No God there but a Bumble Bee.....take out the stinger and they (or, he) is just fine!

There Is a God!!!!!

For the past 48 hours alll my backgammon boards have been royally mucked up.....Something is wrong somewher and it aint't just my webtv. I can go other places but I sure can't seem to play my games here. Playing with a full board would be nice!!!!

5 games have now timed out because the boards are mucked up!!!!

To MM and others.....I am using a webtv and I haven't changed any of my settings since I first registered on this site. Webtv users are very limited compared to PC users. I've had one game time out because I couldn't play and more may follow if things don't get straightened around. LOL... I'd love to see the complete board, in order to know where to play. If I am to win or lose, I'd like to see that too. I can't play with this type of a board disadvantage

All my boards are bigger and some board areas are missing. I can't see where my opponent may be lying in waiting! I can't play my games because of this flaw.

Technician, Fencer....where are thou art??????? hahahahA

I finally got two discussion boards to show..I have no clue as to where my game list has gone. A mukey white has taken over that page.

One hand painted T-shirt in my size shipped free of charge to my address in the US of A!!!!!!

You're playing again aren't you?!!!?

I have new things showing up on my main page and yet all my fellowships have taken a dive.....missing in action so to speak!

Things were "greek" to me and there was nothing I could do to work around the site problem.

Personally, I couldn't give a hoot one way or another if there is an autopass or not and why the heck would I set up a website outside of this website for people to vote one way or another??????. All I am saying is, what is the "POLL" area on this site used for for other than the "T-shirt" poll....USE the polling area for other information besides.....AUTOPASS could be one of those polls voted on by players!!!!

Why not takea Brainking Poll as to how players feed about an "auto button" If this site can pole playrs as to what size and style T-shirt they might like to buy.....Let's get a grip on the pole situation and take a pole as to who and how many players may want an "auto pass button"

There are alot of players on this site who play games for fun and enjoyment. I personally don't pay a bit of attention if someone has a higher rating than I do. Luck along with skill goes hand in hand with game playing! A lower rated player can also learn alot by playing a higher rated player....DON"T let the BKR"S get in your way!

Nice idea but space is space and an "inactive list" takes up space. I can understand having an "inactive list" for those who have not played for 6 months. There may be very good reasons why they haven't. THERE IS NO EXCUSE for those who have registered on this site over two years ago, maybe played a game or two and have not been seen or heard from since. Those are the users who need to be eliminated from the Brainking Player List....non-active players up until May 8, 2002 (No active move for two years.) Don't get me wrong on this...I played as a pawn on this site for over a year before I parted with a buck and joined. Part of my reason was all the problems I had accessing this site using a Webtv Plus during the infancy of Brainking. I still have some problems, but this site has made such wonderful inprovements. I finally parted with my buck, and I haven't been sorry since!!!

old accounts not used should die also and be buried...AMEN!

Go down the list and see how many pawns registered on this site one day, played one day and left two years ago. Those are the players I feel should be eliminated from this site's "player list"

If you are playing a non-paying member and their games are current....No, you will not lose their games. I'm talking about getting the "deadbeats" off the player list....those who registered, maybe played one game or so and never returned to this site under the same ID

I know Fencer knows who supports this site, but play isn't counting for a whole lot unless those who registered became paying members. Fencer knows all of this, but maybe it's time us paying members started a boycott and play only paying members after say.....a six month period of registration, which each member would have to check out every once in a while by clicking on a player's profile!

I mean any players who registered on this site when first started. If you take those who have registered on this site and who have not played one move in over two years...It's time to delete them from the roster of players. If they should care to re-register on this site, let them pick a new user name and start fresh....two years without play....DELETE THEM!

I think it's time for Fencer to delete those who have registered on this site and have not played within the last 2 years under their registered ID. That would be a benefit in two ways...#1 to Fencer and the current registered users knowing who is online and available or possible game invites. #2 It sure would make the sorting through "Players list" alot easier!!!! If those who registered and are dropped in the future....let them re-register and not be able to use the same name again EVER!!!!

Name names and get the "bad" people out in the open, so all of us can avoid, OR, Fencer needs to eliminate these people from this site for the good of all and let this site grow and prosper!!!!

In due time everything will be fixed, and I commend you BUT, before more bells and whisles are added to this site's CHEATING HAS TO STOp AND NOW!! It's Not fair to paying membners and not fair to future paying members....PERIOD!!!!! This Problem needs to be addressed before more is added Brainking. Keep this site as fair and honest as possible!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It shouldn't be allowed on this site in ay form!!! IT happened to me on another game site and now I haear there ar those who have experienced on this site..Fencer, if you have a way of stopping it, please do so immediately! A game is to be played as a game. Each game has a winner and a loser. Please keep your game site played in goood fun!!!! You've come a long way and I personally wish the best for this sie in the future!!!!

I second that idea. It sure would make our main page less cluttered looking and faster access to those boards we want to get to the quickest.

I am playing my first game ever with you. First of all, people should playing games for fun and secondly, everyone has different timme frames and other "emergencies" which can and do pop up...enyoy and play when you can!!!!!

is a help for any prize tournaments listed. Having those turnaments also listed in capital letters or bold print would also set them off without changing the tournament listings as they now are. The reason I say this is because as soon as I check out a tournament, the blue turns to pink or red, depending on how some people see their screen for the next 24 hours......I think bold Capital print needs to be added to offset this minor flaw.

AD....you hit the nail on the head!!!..lol

A mind that works wonders has to take a day off at times....not that the mind stops working ~ sometimes you have to get in touch as to what you have visioned, what you have created and where you want to fly....may I suggest Merlot??!!??

Ahhh geezes, I'm on a fat free diet..LOL

<What a mind you have to have given birth to "BRAINKING". I personally know that wen a brainstorm takes off, sometimes we leave a wake ( guggles from a ship>..lol). You have done a WONDERFUL job with this site and I was one who fell upon ths site through hear-say. I stuck with you, although there were many times I couldn't access this site for days on end. I finally figured out if I became a member, that may help only my accesss but your site problems.....I hope more and mor users decide to make the trip.....you won't be sorry folk...PLEASE PART WITH A BUCK and buy into a 6 or one year membership.You will get the THE MOST bang for your bucks in record time!!!! This site gas grown into the best site ever.....FENCER, your "Brainking is becoming the BEST SITE on the web and I speak as a Webtv plus user. I wish you all the future luck in the world!!! LOL.....now pass me some good backgammon dice to play, ok?....my ratings are slipping!!..LOL

Thank you Fencer. That one finger hitting the "unban" button has changed the whole atmosphere of this site in just a matter of minutes. Players are so willing to forgive, forget and get on with the fun of game playing and healthy discussions. YOU have put a smile back on many faces. This is a wonderful site. May this site now forge ahead and become the best game site ever!!!!
