Oh no, what have I done?!! LOL! Blaze, your last post that was messed up.... I tried deleting it but instead it deleted the one BEFORE that! I can't even remember who it was that posted immediately before you! So whoever you are, if I've deleted your message I humbly apologise! I'll have to ask Fencer about the rogue message that I can't delete! :o)
Let's be positive! Tonight the site is running perfectly! For the record, I agree with Dmitri King, TTjazz, and Pipilo!
Please consider this.
Brain King has huge potential. It already offers so much not offered by other games site. Buckwheat (and anyone else with a gripe) please visit the BrainKing Info page for more general information about this site. BrainKing info is located on a different server so will still be available during any lulls you experience. Definitely worth bookmarking. All credit to Fencer for actually caring enough about public relations to create that info site. Again that's one of the refreshing differences that Brain King has to offer! The creater of Brain King actually listens to suggestions.
If you have any queries please e-mail a customer service assistant.
Please don't bother Fencer with queries relating to site performance. In addition to raising a family and earning a living away from this site, he is already devoting much time to fixing the error caused by the driver (Connector/J) connecting the application and database servers that causes the downtime; It's just a bug; all sites experience bugs, and I think anyone logging in at regular intervals will agree that downtime is only a small proportion!
The huge majority of the time, Brain King is up and running and reliable!! This site has a great future. If you purchase a membership you will be doing something constructive towards that future in addition to reaping the benefits of multiple tournament entry (or creation), ability to join fellowships (or create them if you are a rook), no games limit for a rook or 50 games limit for a knight, the members' message board and the option to select which next game to go to when making moves (the new dropdown menu system just for paid members). Instead of the negative complaining view, please lets be positive! This is an excellent site.
I wish to thank both Fencer and Liquid for the many hours they dedicate to the future of this site! I would also appeal to anyone considering buying a membership to do so. The more paid members, the faster the hardware this site will be able to run from!

Once again, I agree with DK and with TTJazz! (Must have something to do with the second occurrence of a new moon this month...is that the opposite of a blue moon?)
This is gonna be a good week, I can tell already. Happy gaming, everybody, from a fellow addict!
we here in Toronto are having our downtime as well but like pipllo said even the best of us can have our bad times but we've all learned to deal with it. Maybe if we gave fencer a break he could catch up with other things then come back refreshed and him and liquid can kick some site butt :) there's my hubby and I's two cents lol :) good day everyone :)
for a period of about an hour today I had trouble making my moves-- aside from that one hour period, I have had no trouble for about a week straight. I think you are blowing the problem out of proportion.
There is a page related to this topic: http://brainking.info/bugs.html.
Anybody who wants to complain about anything should read it first. I don't suppose that more messages like "this site is slow again" can make it faster.
It slows sometimes yes, but overall I think it functions well. Maybe your just logging in at a peak time? It cant be cheap to run a site of this nature, but Fencer is saving for a new server, so come that time even peak periods will likely run smooth.
Sorry buck you are having trouble. I just want to say that I hardly have trouble with the site. I am a night owl and when a certain other site is down or running slow most nights I stay right here. Maybe your pc is having troubles? Just a suggestion.
For those of you who missed it the first time, here is a copy of my original message. You still have about a week to enter :-)

I have deicided to hold a membership competition, but have decided against simply giving it to the person who is best at a certain game. I also wanted to keep it open to all pawns, regardless of whether they are in a tournament or not. Here's how it will work:
1. It is open to all brain pawns who are registered on the site as of the date and time of this message (to prevent people creating multiple accounts and entering more than once)
2. You will send me a message with the title "Kevin's Membership Competition". In it, you will tell me in 100 words or less why you deserve a membership.
3. The deadline for entries will be June 1 at midnight GMT. As long as the message is dated before then, it will be accepted.
4. There will be at least one winner, but could be more depending on quality and quantity of entrants.
5. Please try and use correct spelling, grammar and punctuation. If I can't understand it the first read through, i likely will not try and read it again.
6. Good luck everyone :-)
As the consequence of a bet with my opponent Christine, I engaged myself to put this message on the general board. I lost about 30 games with her, and she is the best of us. I can't beat her. I had to resign to her several times, and for me this is the ultimate defeat.

HAHAHAHA.....I have a mouse with a piece of cheese in its mouth and its head caught in a trap...will this help make things faster for me LOLOLOL....sorry harley this should be somewhere else i know but couldnt resist a bit of levity
Dear Blondie, I have a mouse with a roller wheel in it. This is excellent for fast scrolling. May I suggest you invest in one of these as they are relatively cheap and overcome your present concern. :O)
But you do need to read them nearly every day as many boards get more than 50 messages each day. When this happens you will need to go back a few (sometimes many) pages but then the "new" markings disappear.
You can also change the number of messages displayed each time too although I have left mine to the standard 50. I think if you change this it changes all the boards and I expect the more messages the longer to download.
Is there a place that l can change my settings for the Db's?
When l come to the boards to read them lm reading responses before l read the question (if you know what l mean)
The first message is usually the last responce to a discussion, is there a way l can change my setting so the discussion lm reading is in order instead of haveing to scroll to the bottom and read up
Rose, I know; I always take my umbrella with me, when the temperature is in the 90s. And leave of the thermal vest when the skiing temp goes below zero! How do I de-jinx these mach4 moves?
well i'm glad to hear other people are having the same problem with seeing the same game with same dice over and over. I thought there was something wrong with my computer, but all in all this is the best site i've played on, everyone envolved in making this site job well done :)
Rose: LOL, i have been here 4 hours & made 30 moved in 30 games, funny things was most of them i played the same move between 2 & 6 times, depending how the server was lolol :-)

CleverHunk, I'm not sure whether Fencer is considering any multi-player games, though I believe at some point he intends to introduce battleboats. If you have any suggestions regarding any games in particular, you could post them up on the Feature Requests board.
ok blaze,you are right.bernice I'll post my website URL to the general chat board(is there one labelled general?will check).this isn't an ad..i just like helping people.
blaze..more to the subject,about brainking.you know what would be nice.few places(a few do) have games were more than 2 players can play a game.the strategy is interesting & fun.have any like that ever been considered by fencer?
Onderwerp: Re: ok, fine, you cannot pay it all at once.
CleverHunk, dragging you back into shallower water at your request. But we should take this to an appropriate board. See you on the General Chat board.
hi to all.I am working on a website.each pages will be a list of the "best sites"for a subject.I have an ambitious list of subjects.one of which is top game sites.brainking,in my opinion is tops in that subject & will state so on my list.when finished,I'll tell everyone were it is,If they want to peek.I hope to provide some helpful links for all.want to start a webpage for word game links.anyone know any good ones?
Onderwerp: Re: ok, fine, you cannot pay it all at once.
I have helped with church outreach programs,and with food & shelter help groups.you are so right about our pampered society.cable TV a basic?,you are right,not so.there ARE people that exists cant even afford a tv.
I know several people who decided to get a computer instead of a TV & use a freenet,since they can't offord both.a computer can be gotten very cheap 2nd these days.
that way,they can job-hunt & stuff online.besides,a growing number of people find TV so mind-numbing brain dead,they feel they are not missing anything.
what has the media offered us lately.
dumb paradies.
sad remakes of remakes.
rubber stamp sitcoms with the same old situations.
mike meyers movies with lame puns the 3 stooges wouldn't use.
and movies...with car crashes...shootings every 20 seconds...shallow plots,little character development..as 2 dimensional as a cartoon.
with all these alledgedly brilliant minds in hollywood,were is the creativity¿ ok,ok blazinshore,I'm getting to deep,drag me back into shallow water again.
