I agree. People are talking about eliminating many of the features (some unique) that brought me here to Brainking! I don't want to see any of it gone!
why not just make it work the way its supposed to? I'm always up for innovations..but I like BrainKing just the way it is! Thats why I became a member here...and I'm sure alot of other folks did too!
But hey...since everyone is asking,any way I can get better dice in backgammn? Floosie is kicking my butt!! LMKBO! ;Þ
emergency vacations - if you mean like LittleGolem.net has, where if you run out of time, 1 day is added (which I think GoldToken also now does) - I believe Fencer has something like that on his list.
Which basicly lets say something happens (bad weather knocks out power for 5 days) - and you are unable to log on to any comptuer, as long as you have vacation days left, it will automaticly use 1 of them instead of timing out games.
Thanks, and a big thank you to noholdsbarred who took the time to visit me and brave my troop of kids and pets to do the interview! He's spent a lot of time on that, and I'm amazed by the result. Thanks, noholds :o)
Bernice, I sometimes look at archived games if I'm trying to remember a conversation I had with someone - but I have so many now I often give up very quickly! I also look at what games I have played with other people, I think thats a nifty little feature on other peoples profiles!
Fencer.....would getting rid of "Archived Games" free up some space.....I tried to view game 1 between you and Liquid, but it was a private game but I could see your game with Ang at game number 10.....there are one hell of a lot of games archived it that is the case :)
Just a suggestion and can anybody tell me how often they look at archived games?
Open question to all....
*edit*
also why not cut message boards off at 1000 messages stored....that gives a hell of a lot of reading to any new person to a message board and unless it is a really long discussion, the topic would be way past...
I often look at a game being played by random members currently online and it turns out to be very interesting, I think it's one of the best features of the site and I'd even like to get rid of "private" games as they strike me as antisocial. I dont see how there is any intrusion of privacy with viewing online players, if we could read the messages they were reading or writing I could understand but just to see where they are and to be able to view any game they might be playing is socially integrative, whereas secrecy is socially divisive.
The only thing i can see against the hide function is basically as Vikings & rod say, but not so much in the case of Kights & Rooks as they could be playing alot more games.
What about a pawn with a max of 20 games AND alot of there opponents decided to use this hide feature. They would look at opponents on-line and just go again as there would be no reason for them to stay (apart from hope lol).
I look forward to the BKR's being back on the main page..
And I want to place my vote for KEEPING on-line opponents. I use it CONSTANTLY.. Most of the time, those are the games I play first. (the ones against opponents that are online at the same time as me.) It helps me to always have games to play.
And I too like being nosey and seeing what others are doing. :-)
are there any plans for an optional hide button feature? there's something like that at iyt. i think that would offer the privacy that some players want.
Lyth and Pedro...why don't you check out the uncensored debates.... you could give us some solid arguements for why you want to ge rid of Bush instead of just the general comment "get rid of Bush, yeah, me too..."
At any time, you could have went into your setting and turned them off. I personally like having them on so I can look at how I'm doing in certain games - but also agree to leave them off until the server is doing beter.
The birthday list is on the debate club news board.

Strange. It works for me if i open a new explorer window and paste URL of that page. Otherwise it just refreshes tournaments page. Must be something with my computer.
I like friends-on-line. I put opponents on the list and see at a glance when they are there. After game, I remove them. (doesn't mean I don't like them anymore!)
Also i would rather play games that are running short of time OR others against people that are online(pawns mainly), without having to keep going to check at the Who is on-line page.
Because I can see, if they play now the game with me or with other people.This feature lets develope a special face-to-face feeling.I am sure the most players like it.
I am not saying i need to know at all, but i do agree with Caissus it is a nice feature special to BK.
On GT you can have all your friends on line, but no moves to makes for ages, they could just be sat there.
why do you need to know what they are doing, if they aren't playing your games what concern is it to you, I just think that it is a big drain on the server, friends on line shows you if they are on the site if you want to chat with them send them a message
Well what would be the point of a Friends list, apart from to tell us who we have added, we would not know if they were playing games or just have there screen on refresh every minute.
It would basically be the same as the Who is on-line feature & on-line opponents. They would all become pointless as such.
(edited)
Optional would be good ellie.
I wonder if anything can be done about messaging as well, as there are people that just use BK as a way to keep in touch with others, yet are not worried about there games.
