I recently started playing again at www.zooescape.com. It is a turn based site. Absolutely no bells and whistles. Just backgammon. The do host monthly tournaments, which are okay. And they have a pretty good ladder program. But not much else.

beach: Those are good points. Brainking has a very robust tournament system. It is very flexible. The Goldtoken clubs offer great tournament options. I really enjoy the wiki platform, it allows members to get creative. I do agree they can be frustrating. I run a club there and have put a lot of creative effort into my wiki tournaments. The one area I differ a lot on is the sense of community. I don’t think Brainking holds a candle to Goldtoken with regard to overall community. And I point to a significant statistic. On Goldtoken 80 to 90 % of the members have a paid subscription. Brainking is the opposite. I have been on both sites for over 20 years and feel strongly about this. I enjoy this site and plan to continue being a paid subscriber. Okay I’m done blabbing on and on.

A really well run site.

Smiler.: Agreed

sofiawood:
How about cribbage

Can any part of my membership be transferred to another player? Possibly for a tournament winner.

Thank you!

I am always a little slow. I'm not quite sure how this bonus program works. I got the red code, what does that actually do for me?

Thank you

I have been away from this site for some time, but have recently renewed my membership.  I enjoy the diversity of players along with the choices of games.  I tend to spend more time on this site, just wandering around and exploring.

My disappointment is with the membership process.  Since June of this year I have purchased two memberships for myself, including a 12 month membership.  Along with that I have purchased two gift memberships for other players here.  I have also purchased a prize for a tourney. 

It disappoints me that I have not received one thank you from the operators of this site.  I have been in the retail business for 30 years, and it is the folks that spend money with you that keep your business up and running.  I am a strong believer in acknowledging those who have contributed to your success.

This can be as simple as a thank you in your inbox or as big as:  well let your creativity work on that one.  I plan to stay with Brainking.   My customer service background feels that a little more should be done for those that support the site.

Thank you,
Terry

mook53lhd: Fortunately, backgammon is far more than luck of the dice!

rabbitoid: Ahhhh, very good...

mook53lhd: Where did you hear that IYT is shutting down 5/1?
