M4tt:
I am glad every effort is made to keep BKR correct. Having a rating system is pointless if is not correct. If I am seeking to play someone in my ratings range, I need them to be correct to insure conistency with my opponents ability.
I have heard that the ratings have been 'modified' because of calcultion error? is this correct? If so, then how can me losing over 400 points be a miscalculation when I earnt every single point by winning some extremely tough games over the past 2 - 3 years. All that effort which was not always enjoyable!! Had a sore brain at times! lol!
Anyway, I never complain or slag anything off but I feel that this site (at times) is a complete waste of time....there just does not seem to be any consistency or continuity whatsoever. And people wonder why members do not rejoin then gradually leave. Im afraid I may now become one of them. I just cant be bothered with way it is run.
i still think (and will never stop thinking) we need to be able to add notes to our blocked users list so we remember why we've blocked the people we've blocked. after a certain amount of time elapses, most of those names become meaningless strings of characters. i look at my blocked users list now and most of the names on there i read and think, "huh...okay. i must have had a reason..."
If you hover your mouse over the picture of the pawn, knight or rook next to a persons name then you'll see what country they're from and some other info.
Rose: remember the days when we had access problems all the time! ;) BK has come a long way! :)
My mother used to tell me I was slower than molasses in January. I didn't even know what molasses was until I saw my dad put the black stuff on bread and gobble it down. yuck
DanDanDan: Some folks use the term bottle neck. When the net gets laggy cuz so many folks are online at the same time. When I came on here earlier today it was slow as molasses in January going uphill but better now. Sundays are always the worst (slowest) times online
wellywales: sorry US. I've had this problem myself when others were having no trouble. I don't understand the internet well enough but I think where we originate from matters in the connection. Kinda like driving to a certain city on a certain route and it's congested. Others taking a different route go the speed limit. ;)
Maybe some of you from the US were still in bed when we had the problems?? as it was this morning our time... about 11am.. so would of been anywhere from 3am onwards your time :)
DanDanDan: sorry But where is here? the site must have been down this morning UK time for about an hour as there was only 30 people on line when I managed to get connected, it is getting very frustrating
