ah right. so your colour is irrelevant then. Cheers.

Backgammon - I created 9 new games, with me playing as white in all of them. Why do I not move first (or second) in all of them? as i'm playing the same colour.

Pedro Martínez: but "english" means St George and the flag (being English of course). The union jack represents England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland (i think?).

It's weird that when football is concerned, England (the english) are represented by the red cross, but generally the language is represented by the union jack? Does anyone know exactly why?

bumble: (off topic maybe....) but how many others think the Union Jack for "english language" should be replaced by the red cross?

BIG BAD WOLF: it happened to me. I just clicked the Union Jack and everything appeared as normal and has been since.

Daniel Snyder: Firstly, send the Head Moderator amessage expressing an interest to be added as a Moderator. So on this board, you would PM Harley.

EdTrice: "and they tend to elaborate & argue at length repeatedly on obscure issues"

Let's try to be constructive.....

nobleheart: Very true.

EdTrice: I may be wrong, but my understanding is that if you play a 5 games match, the whole set of games is counted as one win - or loss.

Jason: i had a spell this morning too, but a quick refresh sorted it out when it happened....

Fencer: You've been busy then....

What's next?

Czuch Chuckers: I might be wrong, but when LindaJ created the BG tournament that was $5 to enter with a $50 prize, that too was advertised on Server News with public gratitude.

ughaibu: I agree, are Team USA Fellowship or England Thru and Thru racist?

The server news has simply highlighted the tournament that will bring much needed revenue to the site, which I am sure is appreciated. As the Server News says, it's design and layout is upto the creator of it. If they want it for Czech people only, well so be it.

Summertop: lol - Master Yoda trained him well....

BIG BAD WOLF: I agree.

Fencer: still too many IMO....

Volant - LOL.. Harley - LOL

harley: I aint answering any questions !!! LOL

stevie with a stella....

Right, must just be my aol connection at the moment then. Never mind...

Is BK running slow for anyone else? in between making moves on games?

good point.

dont be clever...

good point - but any prospective pawns...? new users?

Chessmaster1000: 4, 31 and don't know.... but great competition for those chess lovers....

Walter Montego: i didn't.

lol - i was only kidding. (toes are bruised..) lol.

Harley - lol - I thought it was a feature request, and Reza agreed, so he posted. then it turned into a good discussion about it so hopefully it will prove to be a good point on Feature Request.

Thad - you wanna help me too???

ah, right i see - it must default to alternate colo(u)rs if you pick more than a 2 game match 0- so I'd say you cant then...?

select a 10 game match when you are setting the times and colour. dont select alternate colours...

Brian - please let it drop now. It's becoming tiresome.

Agree with Stevie. Remove inactive, keep pawns on the charts.

lol - i've just asked the same thing re deja vu... thought it was me

Czuch - Good idea re moderators/Global Mods. However, GC is the only board I actually moderate. Just because I have the facility to use on other boards doesnt mean I use it and step on the toes of the boards current moderators. In fact, I've only used it once - on this board actually - and left any further action to Harley/Not a Floosie as the boards moderators. I just happened to be online and was able to hide some posts whilst the moderators for this board were not online.

If this was the case, and the Global Mods started getting involved with banning etc - would this be seen to be stepping on the toes of the boards moderators?

My opinion is that if there are any new moderators they should just be added to the moderator list.

Do you have anyone in mind Czuch? Who you think may be worth considering/is interested in giving it a go?

no bug. posts have been hidden for the moderators to review when online.

Summer Flame - good to hear. Dont forget to put my ID in as a referral LOL!!

BWild - If I could afford it i'd go Marajah (or however you spell it!!) or even invest on this site - but I cant so I just make sure i keep my Rook going.... Are you not due a further upgrade???? lol

MiseryMidnight - get your dollars out and get a Rook membership then lol - you dont know what you are missing as a pawn with the team tournaments/fellowships etc....

I dont think it will last too long - people will quickly run out of points as they put more in the pond to avoid being the person(s) with the fewest.

Ok Jules - I didnt know if you were at the end of Knight or upgraded like Skyking does. Looks like you'll have to wait for Fencer to reply.

Skyking - ask Jules - I think he has just done it.

yes Gypsy - just sign up to PayPal. It's much easier....

lol - not had one of those for years.

What topic was it Harley?

Boooooo

still great going - anf like you said Steve - good to see St George at the top of the pile....

That's some going with only 37 unfinished games showing.....

Fencer - assuming they dont use any "memory" probably not. Justwondered really as there are loads that have logged on once, joined, not played any games then never come back again. Doesnt give a true "registered users" figure. What do you think?

Player List - have you thought of deleting all the people who have signed up then never re-visited? - some of them going back over a year or two.

Is there any reason why you keep them on the database?

Mamba - either pay for membership and contribute to a better, more stable games site here (which is what you are moaning about) - or go and play elsewhere. Simple. Like it or lump it. No-one is making you play here (for free).
