Ah that reiminds me.. couple things I wanted to bring up on tournament signup deadlines... One is I think this might, indeed, be Czech time (I have to set mine 6 hours ahead of my local time to get it right).

But.. the more annoying thing is, when you edit a tournament (say, to add something to the description), whenever you hit the edit page, the hour jumps ahead by an hour. Edit twice without adjusting it before submitting, you're ahead 2 hours; three hits, three hours; etc.

It should be your local day. I will check it, I am not sure, it's more than a year ago when I wrote this code :-)

I have just started 2 tournaments...one for backgammon and one for five in a line.....my...MY cut off date for sign up is the 16th...my Q is.....

IS THIS AUSTRALIAN time or Czech time?

Yes! Thank you. :)

LOL! Patience, Lythande! Bumble sent me his replies today, I asked him to check a couple of things, and then I'll pass them to Fencer to be put at BrainKing.info. It should be very soon :o)

<mumble>bumble</mumble> *grumble* :>

This isn't the board to argue/discuss about this. Like it or not, he's banned. That won't change by filling this board with discussions about his behaviour, past or present, especially when he can't respond.

then you shouldnt say things that arent true.You didnt mention the crazy way he responded to the "flame" that was happening there.

well i happen to know for a fact dano spammed almost every message board on iyt. dont try to act like he is all innocent either. i dont know the situation on here, really dont care. i do know dano brings problems on himself

I happen to know he left willingly from IYT and with a full refund....you cant believe everything you hear.

dano has been from several sites for stating his opinion

Dano gets banned for stating his opinion.. and yet everyone else can do no wrong!

my thoughts exactly ughaibu!

Rather than banning others to balance Danoschek I'd rather see Danoschek back and people being more tolerant of each other's peculiarities.

how long before we get rid of another"bad Element"...the anti moderator,who admitted created a bigger problem by provoking Danoschek,using Fencer,mis-using his position as moderator,lieing to the whole membership...and now is using BrainKing.com as a marketing tool for his latest venture?
this has been edited twice now....and I only bring it up because Danoscheks name was brought up...and it reminded me of one of the reasons he was banned.( I hope that good enough harley)

thanks, didn't look very well did i!

In the "My Profile"

Click "Edit" which is at the top next to your name

You will there find the password change area.

cLiCk oN eDIt..yOu'LL SEe.

iT's RiGht uNdEr yOUr nIc.

hey how do you change your password on here i've looked briefly on settings and profile but cant see it.

:-)

Sorry Fencer, I didnt mean use as in "USE" I meant as a perfect example to test on LOL
Didnt mean it to sound bad

Steve: I didn't use anybody. I've just wanted to see if the mentioned person reveals his remaining pawn accounts when I make this board writable for pawns for one night.

Like wishing well, or whatever Chiefs name will be today

So we are to finally and completely deDanoed ... may be a few others will get added to the list too :)

So you have used Dano as a way of testing a filter that can be used on more than just the mentioned person then??

It was final anti-Danoschek filter test.

The internet is not as anonymous as people think. To avoid the more obvious aspects of traceability, takes a skill and knowledge level well beyond the capability of the mentality required to "spam" a game site.
Perhaps a fellowship which fencer passed the offending IP's with date and time of attack might be an idea?
One thing, we have a worldwide membership so finding a local agent should not be to difficult.
Alternatively given the size of the concerned membership, electronic warfare is not beyond our capabilities.

Fencer......while we are patting each other on the back for successes...lets get rid of the ANIMAL element that we appear to be getting, and has only happened since a certain person/persons have been barred....can we not limit pawns on all boards posting until they have completed 25 or so games....it seems to me as if they wouldnt want to wait around that long to be able to post....especially the idiots...opps sorry :) the knowledgeable gentlemen/women that we have as our guests???

ROFL...BBW.....I will beat ya LOL

FINAL TEST! Did you/we/it pass? :-)

Now I'm going to have to log on more often so I can be one of the first to find out. :-)

Give me one or two days.

the final test is over??? OK...great....what are the results hehehehehe

The final test is over.

Bernice: You will see it at your Main Page.

can someone tell me please....are reminders sent to our message box when renewal of our accounts are imminent?

The BrianKing.com board is the only board that still allows pawn's to post.

Hopefully it would be used for pawns who TRUELY have a question or problem with BrainKing, and not abused by other pawns who might hurt it for all the others.

Yeah. Now the site will be even better and that will help bring in more members.

Thanks alot for your hard work, Liquid and Fencer! :-)

Way to go both of you!

way to go Liquid!

It's Liquid's work.

Well you have been doing something right Fencer - that is the first time I have seen the "Server down" message for a long while!

Keep up the good work!

Ehm, database server upgrade ;-) I've expected it to take 20 minutes but something went wrong. Everything is OK now.

Before 11Am and after 1PM I couldn't logon.. why? what happened? :-)

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...rolls over looks at the topic
still... the ...same....zzz...zz....zzzzzz...zzzzz
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

This all seems like overkill. Why not just hide ratings of a given game type for inactive players until they become active again?

The point I was making is that if you have 50 games going, only one of those 50 games per month (undr the suggestion by Scooter) would have to be by someone rated below you. It sounds to me like it would not affect someone playing many games at all. It is a system in attempt to get rid of high ranked players who do not play any games at all in order to keep their name at the top of the leader board. Some people come here win a few games with the right people, get a high ranking, and leave, never to play again. I recently invited a player ranked slightly higher than me, who has only 5 games to his credit, to a game of Reversi. He declined the invitation. This type of system would force players like this to play at least one game a month, if invited, or lose some standing on the leader board. It would not effect active players like yourself at all. Sorry if you felt personally attacked by my previous post, I just didn't think your reasoning had any merit. I am sorry.

yep. that's the idea I had in mind :)

kind of like what is going on at GoldToken.com with their ladder system. As long as you are on the ladder, you will have a game going. If you win, you move up. If you lose, you move down. And then you are again matched up with someone else in the same "rung" and play again until you move up or down. (Played games counting towards the BKR)

Then if you don't want to play (or can't), all you would do is lose a rung - and would not affect the BKR. That would be good.
