Might be silly but Fencer, have you ever thought of having 10 minute games? What I mean is....for those whose on-line friends that aren't on to play with at that moment. The people (members) that are on the site at that moment could post 10 minute games and have their exp. date as maybe 10 minutes or so. Then if someone was on-line that they wanted to play with, but not start a new game, could play for 10 minutes. You could maybe have the winner as the person who placed the most pieces and could only offer it to the "Members" as a plus for their membership. As smart as you are, you could put a timer on the game page and the person whose turn it was would have so many seconds to make a play. If they didn't then they forfeited their turn or something. The BKR's wouldn't have to count for these games since they would be set on a timer. It would be just for fun for the members who have to wait for someone to play against.
