Quote "It is the people/personalities who make BK what it is".
The infrastructure helps promote this.
IYT was populated by an incredible number of wackos and weirdos who crept out at night...
I may not agree with much that is said, but I defend the right for people to say it..
Here I get good games, and socialise as much or as little as I choose.
While the character of the site remains... so do I...

I think everyone agrees that you and Liquid are doing an exceptional job,Fencer! I think theres alot of wishfull thinking is all:)

Well I think it is always good to look at ways to improve the site. If you don't try new things, this site will start to get "stale" and boring.... which is what had happen for me at IYT - which I don't think had a new thing there for a year or more!

... and some of the things that are removed right now as I understand it is just temporary - until the server problem is fixed or updated.

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!

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.

I will think out some search system for archived games. There is still an unused "Search" menu item :-)

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!

30. January 2004, 08:05:56
Bernice 
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).

good point Vikings!

I like the on-line -opponents just to see if it is worth hanging around after I've made my moves and read boards

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. :-)

not show that you're here. i don't like the feature that we know what everyone is doing on the site, i would think of it as a privacy feature.

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.

There are no BK averages anywhere at BK...I like the "On-line opponents" and I also use it very often...get rid of Bush

I like the BK averages...Get rid of the 'Whose on line' or 'On-line Opponets'...rather nosey areas to begin with.

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.

Fencer's post orangengreen

Btw, I've temporarily disabled the Top BKR table on Main Page. It was one of the sources of the database overload.
