Bernice: Nope, unlikely.

Fencer: thanks.

Bernice: Too bad no specials again. I only have a couple more "colors" left to get my black rook. Guess That'll never happen at this point.

rod03801: Now that I am not working it is hard on a pension...Might have to do the monthly one :(

Bernice: Load up on hundreds of games and tournaments before your membership expires next week. You will be able to play tons of games without have to renew your membership for a long time. I did that before my membership ran out in February and I am still playing above the 20 game limit for pawns. I have 32 games currently going. Also signup for any membership prize tourneys that might start before the membership runs out and you might win a renewal in the meantime.

Brian1971: hahahaha i couldnt be bothered with all the games....I dont have the time to play...Im not an invalid YET hehehehehe

Brian1971: How unchristian of you.

crosseyed: No, how smart of me. If Fencer has left this door open, then utilize it. Even when my games drop below 20 eventually, I am still not going to renew. However, I can relate to Bernice's position financially. Just giving her an option to maximize the amount of game play if she wishes to play a high number of games until she can afford to renew a membership.

Fencer: New Years? How about my 65th birthday? It's in March. ;)

Papa Zoom: We'll be still here in March, so who knows? Anything can happen.

In fact, BrainKing will be 15 years old this year and it is also the last year with any support from me. After that, nothing will be guaranteed unless someone else buys the site and takes over.

I will post an official announcement about it at the News section very soon.

Fencer: I've had a fun run here. Great site. Happy New Year. Here's hoping someone buys BK

Fencer: thanks for the platform you provide for us to play our beloved games, and learn the games we didnt know yet :-)

I had a great time here for quite some years ... but for everything comes an end ... life changes, work changes, everything changes .... the only time when nothing changes anymore is when you are dead .. and thats still far away i hope :-)

thanks for the effort and time and dedication you put into this site ... far more work and time than most people realize .. but i still do hope someone is willing to take it over from you

here's one to you and to brainking: *188*
