Ocak 2008, 02:53:30 Konu: Re:  NOT a floosie: The cookie monster got hungry 10. Ocak 2008, 02:00:45 Where did all the posts go from yesterday? 8. Ocak 2008, 16:10:13 Konu: Re:  MadMonkey: I know PayPal is not compatible with web-tv. At least with mine. 8. Ocak 2008, 16:04:49 Konu: Re: MadMonkey: thanks for connecting me with him - im waiting for a response and hopefully i will be able to pay for him soon.... 8. Ocak 2008, 15:31:40 Konu: Re:  Animal: I know, i have it, and he had it as well, thats not the problem. He can not use PayPal  8. Ocak 2008, 15:09:26 Konu: Re:  MadMonkey: Setting up Paypal is easy. Is it not available for your friend? If it is, it's a very easy process. 8. Ocak 2008, 12:42:17 Konu: Re:  MadMonkey: Stupidly enough I didn't even consider the possibility that you weren't on the same country  Yes, it would probably be just as expensive to send the money to Fencer in that situation then... or maybe you know some other member in the states that could help them out too (and is trustworthy of course) 8. Ocak 2008, 12:19:31 Konu: Re: pauloaguia: I do not see why someone in the states should have to send me (in England) money, it may as well go straight to Fencer  There was until a while ago a list of people in various countries, where what you suggest could be done making it easy. Sadly, that is now gone. They have not got a PayPal account for a valid & personal reason, yet because of this they can not get there membership, and so leaving, because no one has the time to help them with there problem. i have done my bit, keeping them here, even paying for them to try out membership, maybe i should just buy there Black Rook for them as well  8. Ocak 2008, 12:09:34 Konu: Re: MadMonkey: (Just commenting on the Customer Service bit) Just because Customer Service isn't around any more, doesn't mean people can't send you money for you to pay for their BK accounts using your PayPal account. All it takes is for them to trust you enough to send you the money. There are people who I used to pay accounts for until they finally got old enough to have a credit card and a PayPal account. And I only became a Customer Service Representative after that... but the principle still holds - everytime someone contacts me on how to purchase a membership I explain how to use PayPal and in the end, offer my services as a last resort... 8. Ocak 2008, 11:18:07 MadMonkey (8. Ocak 2008, 11:29:25) tarafından düzenlendi This place amazes me, in a BAD way sadly these days. I have a friend who i made a Bishop for a while to see if he liked it here. He did and wanted to get a life membership ( Black Rook ), but has no PayPal account and a wire transfer will cost a fortune on top. He has asked for help from Fencer and although Fencer did reply, he has got know where. So sadly now him and his friends (who have the same problem) are now leaving BrainKing. Myself and harley created Customer Service years ago for this or anything to sort problems out and answer questions, to help people, this seems to have all but vanished along with Customer Service. This is not a dig a Globs, but at everything this site is becoming. I love this place and have done since i joined over 5 years ago. In those days you could post on boards and get a friendly answer in minutes. These days you are lucky to get and answer, and if you do it is not exactly helpful or understanding. As has proved AGAIN over the last few days, an argument starts. It comes to something when we can not even help others sort problems out. I thought getting members and therefore generating income would be of vital importance to running a site like this. Sadly as normal, i am wrong  8. Ocak 2008, 09:05:00 Konu: Re: hope this post is ok Jason: brainking.com doesn't reply to ICMP ECHO_REQUEST packages, so you traceroute packages time out. 8. Ocak 2008, 06:10:02 Konu: Re: hope this post is ok  Jason: When Gordon Shumway first posted, he explained something about the time out.. I don't remember exactly, but here is a link to the post: BrainKing.com (Gordon Shumway, 2008-01-07 01:55:59) 8. Ocak 2008, 06:06:34 Konu: hope this post is ok  I just tried the tracert brainking.com thing and got 30 request time outs , do they all time out ? or is that the reason i dont seem to see any routes/times . 8. Ocak 2008, 03:13:31 Konu: Re: Psssssssssssssst Andersp....... baddessi (8. Ocak 2008, 05:39:15) tarafından düzenlendi Andersp: I meant more the general posts about football and beer as being light-hearted fun . You are right about the other post. I know this isn't proper protocal, but I have taken the liberty of deleting the post. If anyone has a problem with this, please PM me, and once again, I hope that this board can be returned to it's intended purpose. Brainking, it's structure, it's features. 8. Ocak 2008, 02:59:20 Konu: Re: Psssssssssssssst Andersp....... Yes, the more recent posts are definitely more appropriate on a "chat" discussion board, please. 8. Ocak 2008, 02:16:10 Konu: Re: "If there is no one to moderate..find someone." Purple: done!  8. Ocak 2008, 02:13:19 Konu: Re: "If there is no one to moderate..find someone." Jim Dandy: LSU-Ohio St. is on in 5 minutes so I think I will have a beer, call Kammy and watch some football. Jim..have a beer and watch some football. lol 8. Ocak 2008, 02:08:10 Konu: Re: "If there is no one to moderate..find someone." Eriisa: I want to be a part of the solution,not the problem.Right now I'm just trying to get a feel for a way out of the tense situation,but sometimes I feel I keep walking on land mines,sorry,Purple is right,you are one of the good ones 8. Ocak 2008, 02:00:30 Konu: Re: "If there is no one to moderate..find someone." Purple: nope, I didn't consider you in the message JD, the comments are coming from a line that Fencer posted and people decided as aimed at them. Whether it was not not, that part of the conversation has been ended and didn't need to be dragged up again and again. That's all I'm asking. 8. Ocak 2008, 01:59:58 Konu: Re: "If there is no one to moderate..find someone."  Purple: I have seen worse posts here too but....better behave 8. Ocak 2008, 01:58:46 Konu: Re: "If there is no one to moderate..find someone." Eriisa: The board heading says "Board for everybody who is interested in BrainKing itself, its structure, features and future." I respectfully submit that the present is very important to the future,though some of the cheap shots do nothing to work towards that end,on that I agree. ps what's a troll? 8. Ocak 2008, 01:58:00 Konu: Re: "If there is no one to moderate..find someone." Eriisa: The discussion switched from citicizing Fencer to some good natured ribbing of FORMER GM's and technical advice for each other. But I will heed your warning and hope this post won't be considered Troll. You are one of the good ones. 8. Ocak 2008, 01:49:14 Konu: "If there is no one to moderate..find someone." I'm giving this one warning to everyone in general, please. I know you are frustrated. I knew you are not happy with Fencer's answer. Guess what? He knows it too. But what else can he say that he has not said at least once? The things are the way they are right now, are not going to change (at least right away) so I would suggest to let it go for now. So the BKFBI..."Behave or be banned" is now in effect........ to quote Andersp. The next Troll comment will be banned in particular until Hrqls gets online. Thanks. 8. Ocak 2008, 01:48:42 Konu: Re: Firefox Purple: I would take the WebTV and throw it out the window and go buy a PC. Then get hooked up with high speed. 8. Ocak 2008, 01:44:10 Konu: Re: Firefox Uninvited: A rare combo of tech skills and people skills. Now what do I do about my lame web-tv? lol 8. Ocak 2008, 01:42:40 Konu: Re: Firefox Uninvited: The site is humming along better tonite.I think I'll take the firefox leap anyway,but I'm a creature of habit,probably the same reason I could never learn to drive standard lol 8. Ocak 2008, 01:34:25 Konu: Firefox Jim Dandy: I have Firefox2 and Internet explorer on my pc. My games are loading fast tonight, I had it on Firefox and my Ludo games only took one sec. to load all the way, I switched to IE. and the ludo games took four seconds each time. The point I'm getting at is Firefox is way better and if you don't like it just take it back off your PC. It's free so you got nothing to loose. 8. Ocak 2008, 01:34:08 Konu: Re: but it is not worth a tenfold of the current monthly fee I am already paying. Expenses must be reasonable too. Purple: I think it comes back to what Andersp was saying.You may be a genius in the tech end,but lacking in people skills.The people skills people should do the people stuff.  8. Ocak 2008, 01:31:27 Konu: Re: Love This Quote :) srnity: Or "If there is no one to moderate..find someone." lol 8. Ocak 2008, 01:23:17 Konu: Love This Quote :) Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. This is commonly referred to as Lord Acton's dictum. 8. Ocak 2008, 01:18:27 Konu: Re: but it is not worth a tenfold of the current monthly fee I am already paying. Expenses must be reasonable too. Jim Dandy: Some of the more trigger happy ones have been replaced and the current crop doesn't seem to be as egregious. I now moderate or are BB on 8 F/S and I think the old rule is best: He who moderates least moderates best. 8. Ocak 2008, 01:13:47 Konu: Re: but it is not worth a tenfold of the current monthly fee I am already paying. Expenses must be reasonable too. Andersp: I wouldn't want to paint everyone with the same brush,I have had my own issues in a global mod scenario.There are good and bad apples in every crop,and some don't know how to handle power. 8. Ocak 2008, 00:51:11 Konu: Re: but it is not worth a tenfold of the current monthly fee I am already paying. Expenses must be reasonable too. Jim Dandy: Nope...they are BKFBI..."Behave or be banned"!!  8. Ocak 2008, 00:47:53 Konu: Re: but it is not worth a tenfold of the current monthly fee I am already paying. Expenses must be reasonable too. Andersp: I agree 100%,I thought the global mods were his public relations people. 8. Ocak 2008, 00:44:18 Konu: Directions From Eriisa (shows you the path) Click on Start Click on Run Type cmd (in the window) A black box will open up. This is called a DOS window. At the cursor type in tracert brainking.com and hit enter. 8. Ocak 2008, 00:43:48 Konu: Re: but it is not worth a tenfold of the current monthly fee I am already paying. Expenses must be reasonable too. Jim Dandy: Its no problem to name at least 10 "programmers" who are giving Fencer "good advice" but how many good advice about business economy does he get? 8. Ocak 2008, 00:39:51 Konu: Re: but it is not worth a tenfold of the current monthly fee I am already paying. Expenses must be reasonable too. Purple: I agree,cashflow is everything,even an installment plan 8. Ocak 2008, 00:38:10 Konu: Re: I had to look to see if we had a game srnity: I have yet to download it,I'm trying to find the best and newest edition.I think firefox 3 is soon to be released.........the only "hops' I understand are used in beer. 8. Ocak 2008, 00:31:58 Konu: Re: I had to look to see if we had a game Jim Dandy: Oops, sorry, wasn't thinking about it from that angle I have Firefox, it updates itself automatically, disk clean and defrag are automatically set too - I'm running better this evening then yesterday around this time (first time here today) - any better for you? And how many "hops" did you get, btw?  8. Ocak 2008, 00:25:53 Konu: Re: I think everyone wants to feel appreciated srnity: I had to look to see if we had a game.The feeling I get is that certain paying customers feel unappreciated,I don't have enough knowledge of the history here to have an opinion if it's warrented.I'm considering dwnloading firefox to see if it improves the speed,I like this site but the current speed is a pain,especially if you want to fire through say 50 moves prior to work8. Ocak 2008, 00:24:17 Konu: Re: but it is not worth a tenfold of the current monthly fee I am already paying. Expenses must be reasonable too. Jim Dandy: If Fencer raised the annual price of a Rook by 10% even..two or three times over the next ten years..then the Black Rook would prove to be a good long term investment. I'm not thrilled by his lack of replies etc. but if he were truly money hungry it wouldn't be so hard to buy memberships for my friends. I don't like PayPal, he won't take hardly anything else, no credit cards, no checks and no place to mail cash. If I ran the site I would have 100 ways to pay, in every currancy, I would accept watches and jewlery, stamps, coins, old tv sets and have P.O. Boxes in every major city. He is impatient (or worse) when he thinks things are not his fault and the members are impatient (or worse) when they think it is. When you play on 4 or 5 sites and only BK is having problems it is a hard sell to convince people it is their browsers fault. On Gold Token there were dozens of people with a dozen different complaints all at once and it turned out that there was only one root cause. Perhaps Fencer could dig deeper to see if something like that isn't going on here. 8. Ocak 2008, 00:21:58 Konu: Re: but it is not worth a tenfold of the current monthly fee I am already paying. Expenses must be reasonable too. Andersp (8. Ocak 2008, 00:23:30) tarafından düzenlendi Jim Dandy: Fencer is a very smart guy, he has a brilliant product but often he forgets the fundmental in business..to keep his customers happy. I've seen his 'type" many times, my last boss in Sweden was very good in his profession but he could ask anyone to "go to h" if he was in that mood. His carreer ended in 2 bancrupcies :) I've tried to tell Fencer many times but then someone "pops up" and tell me to stop moaning :) I do like Brain King but im worried that it wont last too long. Only a question who gets tired first, Fencer or his customers..
8. Ocak 2008, 00:15:42 Konu: Re: I think everyone wants to feel appreciated Jim Dandy: I don't have a need to feel appreciated, just a need for certain players to TAKE THEIR TURN in what I personally perceive to be a decent period of time - - - maybe this is why BK is running so crappy for me, I just don't appreciate enough? 8. Ocak 2008, 00:12:14 Konu: Re: Eriisa: Thank You - how awesome was that?! Sixteen hops total, from PA to Washington DC, to Paris, to Germany, to Prague (no NYC - woohoo) ....... Can you pretty much do that with every site? And do they all "time-out"? 8. Ocak 2008, 00:04:03 Konu: Re: but it is not worth a tenfold of the current monthly fee I am already paying. Expenses must be reasonable too. </b"certain user>: I sense a moral issue here.I think everyone wants to feel appreciated,Fencer included,but the rhetoric has pushed many peoples backs to the corner with no escape in sight.7. Ocak 2008, 23:54:02 Konu: Re: but it is not worth a tenfold of the current monthly fee I am already paying. Expenses must be reasonable too. Jim Dandy: In my case it was meant as a christmas present to me and my wife with a "bonusdeal" (autopass) with Fencer. I agree, thats no good (secure) investment but you know how we "americans" are at Christmastime..lots of charity ! LOL Fencer is showing his gratefulness by calling me "certain user", "Troll", annoying and other nice things...i can live with it :) 7. Ocak 2008, 23:43:35 Konu: Re: but it is not worth a tenfold of the current monthly fee I am already paying. Expenses must be reasonable too. wetware: How many years does it take before the lifetime membership to begin paying dividands? 10? Nothing personal to this site,but too much can transpire over that period of time in such an evolving relatively new communication field.Look back 10 years and see how much has changed.As a show of faith it's nice,but maybe not a wise investment 7. Ocak 2008, 22:25:45 Konu: Re: but it is not worth a tenfold of the current monthly fee I am already paying. Expenses must be reasonable too. wetware:Yesterday..many posts ago i posted that i "tested" 3 sites from Prag, all of them loaded very fast. That doesnt tell me that there is a slow connection from Czech to USA. Fencer needs to try every possible solution even if it costs money or he is digging Brain King's grave...thats no moaning..thats the truth.
