there was a problem with our serverhousing provider and one of our network cards had failed. Both should be fixed now. 31. March 2003, 08:42:53 Subject: Monday Morning Slow Fencer, site is desperately slow this morning, 07.43 UK time. 31. March 2003, 05:53:14 Subject: fencer..another original backgammon variation idea I just had... ..could be based on crowded backgammon.
reducing your count to zero or increasing our opponents count by bumpimg blots to the bar is the obvious key to backgammon. thus the strategy of the games axis' is based on hitting blots.so why not a variation that make use of this directly. the idea then: crowded backgammon,but the extra blots are not on the bar.they are"beside the board".one of thes blots can only be put on the bar when you hit an opponents blot.at this time one of your off board blots & the opponents blot go to the bar.thus you are "rewarded" for hitting a blot & get yout blots into the game faster.this could be a very interesting game.what do you & everyone think,fencer? as for a name?mmmm 31. March 2003, 05:41:13 Subject: Re: CET is okay ...(blonde joke) blondes start daylight saving 1 week before everyone else,because it takes a week for the lights to go on.(Hannilore is going to yell at me again) 31. March 2003, 04:06:56 And in Saskatchewan here we don't switch at all! It's an hour fast for me too... 31. March 2003, 03:55:16 Subject: CET is okay ... in europe daylight savings switch happens one week earlier ... ~*~ 31. March 2003, 03:47:06 Subject: Re: Time is wrong We don't go on daylight savings time here in the US until next weekend. I guess that's the problem. 31. March 2003, 02:51:48 Subject: Re: Time is wrong Seems OK here. Clocks in England went forward an hour yesterday, so in theory we are in British Summer Time now rather than GMT. My settings say GMT, yet time is perfectly correct to take into account the clocks going forward last night.
Maybe everyone else has been put forward an hour too? Blaze 31. March 2003, 02:44:03 Subject: Time is wrong  Hey Fencer, the clock seems to be messed up... the current time is 19:42, but it says 20:42... I checked and my time zone is still set correctly. Just thought you would want to know. 30. March 2003, 14:04:04 Subject: Re: Question lol i know the feeling. I have a slot free, wanna game of chess? 30. March 2003, 12:04:46 Subject: Question lol  How can someone have have 120 games and no moves to make LOL
I know its Sunday here, but is there life out there anywhere :-Þ 29. March 2003, 23:43:44 Subject: Re: The_Philosopher´s That's c:)ol, mAn! :D 29. March 2003, 22:46:08 Just a quick note - if I don't answer to all e-mails reporting the current problems, it's because I am trying to fix them. As Dmitri wrote, each site has problems, occasionally.
Good news are that the problem is not permanent and we are slowly getting it under control. 29. March 2003, 21:30:57 Subject: Re: broken site goodfoods: My hammer seemed to have worked for the moment, seems to get worse the more ppl that are on..... 29. March 2003, 21:10:44 Subject: broken site is anyone trying to fix these problems we are experiencing? 29. March 2003, 19:19:08 Subject: problems accessing here we go again! brainking is to busy, brainking ran into technocal problems, brainking could not respond to, the WHITE page again, it seems the site battleship has been torpedoed three times and is listing, and we don't even have battleship/battleboats on this site! why are we having this trouble? does someboby have an answer PLEASE!!! i would like to play my games and relax! 29. March 2003, 19:07:15 Subject: Cannot find server errors Anyone else getting "The page cannot be displayed" errors? Been that way on and off here for the past few hours, whilst other sites seem to be loading without error.
Blaze 29. March 2003, 18:16:00 Subject: Re: statistics are nice, but... Milestones. Aren't they wonderful? So it appears the site may have an estimated 2000+ active players. :--) It's a great site with good people who love to play. And it even let's you correct your typing errors in the discussion boards. 29. March 2003, 16:43:35 Subject: slow games would like to thank Fencer for fixing the slow games, though i'm still experencing the problem at about 9:30am Sat. morning. keep getting "brainking is too busy to answer right now". hopefully this will clear up soon, i really enjoy this site so much more than the others, made some really good net friends here! thanks Fencer! :-} 29. March 2003, 15:43:08 Subject: statistics are nice, but... 4000+ registered players, but only about 1/2 of them are alive. one of the things I like about this site is that you can verify things. go to the "player list", sort by "last action". you have then to go beyond page 44 out of 82 to see players that did anything the past month 29. March 2003, 14:11:47 Subject: Re: Slow games I agree with Dmitri, there are always comp problems that can pop up despite everything Fencer does. I find this site is fast 95% of the time and thats good enough for me. I also agree about not leaving game moves till the last minute if possible, one game within a game is plenty. 29. March 2003, 13:40:34 Subject: slow games i have to agree with you dmitri. there isnt any site on the internet that dont have problems being slow once in awhile. you cant expect the site to be running perfect every single minute of every single day. i think fencer does a excellent job on this site 29. March 2003, 13:27:33 Subject: Slow games people, give Fencer a break! occasionally, computers do not work properly and they move slowly. If youare worried about gamed timing out, don't leave them until the last minute, because computers can lag at any time, that is justthe nature of computers. 29. March 2003, 08:50:00 Subject: Brainking.com Isn't brainking 6 months old about now?
If so, can we have a party and all raise our glasses to Fencer for his great work? 29. March 2003, 08:49:06 Subject: The_Philosopher´s "word_of_the_day" Dont forget to check out The Philosopher´s Word of the day section of his profile !! don´t miss out on the chance to get your necessary daily touch of sharpwitted commentary on the world surrounding us!! and hey! all you brain Kings out there...If theres a subject you want to see included, or a word you want the philosphers definition of, dont hesitate to send him a message!! 29. March 2003, 08:31:18 Subject: White screens I get them too, I think it only happens to us webtv-ers? When it happens, instead of using the "move to" buttons, I use the "go to main page" button for a while. I check the "move to" button every once in a while, and eventually they start working again. 29. March 2003, 04:24:02 Subject: re: slow/can't access games  Well for the past week, IYT has been very quick!
As long as one site is quick, I'm happy! :-) As a side note if someone is getting close to timing out - you may want to set a vacation day in case this site stays slow so you will not time out... if you are close on time! BBW (BIG BAD WOLF) 29. March 2003, 04:18:04 Subject: slow/can't access games about the same time Thurs. this happened and this is Fri. that is why i left iyt.com 29. March 2003, 02:31:10 Subject: Snail racing :( Having problems accessing this site.
"Page cannot be displayed" & "cannot find server" errors plentiful, along with the partial loading whereby a page remains totally blank (or just the background loads) yet "done" appears just above my taskbar. Frustrating. Blaze 29. March 2003, 02:27:48 Subject: Re: not being able to play my games I posted the same question yesterday and no one has answered me yet. I too get the white screens when i click on any of the 'move' buttons. will be interesting to see if ANYONE can answer us! 29. March 2003, 02:24:26 Subject: Re: not being able to play my games rsm, usually its a good fast site here. I think they are just having a few problems like last night....something like this never lasts long, Fencer is fast at getting things going again. 29. March 2003, 01:45:22 Subject: slowdown, same time like yesterday ... again about 19.30-20.00 h CET ... still slow, at the moment ...
here a strange effect looked up the waiting room and when I wanted to join the 'corner chess' games of maddog they actually appeared as line-game ... :O has anybody experienced similar effects ? ~*~ _______________________________________________ what my waiting room list shows ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fortress Chess Normal game Frazer black 7 days Fortress Chess Normal game Frazer black 7 days Corner Chess Normal game MADDOG black 2 days Corner Chess Normal game MADDOG white 2 days Corner Chess Normal game MADDOG black 2 days ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 29. March 2003, 00:55:51 Subject: not being able to play my games I'm fairly new on here( about a month ) but i've been haveing trouble with my screen whiteing out when i hit one of the submit options.also there are times when it wont let me back on, i keep getting a pop up that says "brainking is to busy and to try again later"..i was hopeing this game site would be better then IYT, but guess not. 28. March 2003, 23:20:29 Subject: Re: Its great now Fencer, are you reinstating timeouts? I couldn't stay awake to get through all my games they were taking so long :-) 28. March 2003, 21:44:17 Subject: Fencer: Congrats! :-) On the more then 4000 players!!! PARTY!! :DDD 28. March 2003, 20:55:11 Subject: Re: it takes a short while for your membership to take effect, definitely within 24 hours and probably sooner. 28. March 2003, 16:52:49 Subject: Much Better Its lightening fast compared to yesterday/last night Good Job Mr Fencer Sir!!!! Was this considered growing pains? 28. March 2003, 13:16:12 Subject: Re: today's effects The site was slow here too, looks like the problem is fixed. Fortunatly no time outs for me, as I only play the game at hand:) 28. March 2003, 11:34:06  Loads better for me :o) Much faster, its not like swimming through mud now! 28. March 2003, 10:13:28 Subject: Re: Slow I too find the site very slow and I cannot get into 'My Profile'. 28. March 2003, 09:15:14 Subject: Slow Is anyone else finding the site slow today, I have trashed cookies ect. and everywhere else is quick...oh woe and to have 109 games to get thru as well :-) 28. March 2003, 08:58:50 Subject: Re: games in order of time 5 or 6 screens, at a time..? hmmmmm, must be nice to have a PC..!!! I'll trade ya my web-tv for it.. LOL...
speaking of slowing down the site, anyone notice it being slower more recently than say a month ago..? At least it seems to me that it takes longer for things to load..!!! 28. March 2003, 08:45:34 Subject: Re: timeset for games no problem Christine.. and you're welcome.. :-)) 28. March 2003, 04:23:14 Subject: today's effects perceivable here as well ... :/ ... timed out a game, as it seemed
to take several minutes until submit was validated - even via dsl - when the mainpage finally loaded I found the game lost ... slowdown started about 20.00 h CET, Thursday ... ~*~ ' 28. March 2003, 03:02:36 Subject: Blank pages Can someone help me? I've had a lot of difficulty just getting on this site; but am finally able to play. However, when I make my game move and click on any of the three 'move' choices, all I get is a blank page. I have to go back to my e-mail to click on the link to get back on the site to make another move. Has anyone else had this problem? I've wracked my brain trying to figure out what the problem could be. My temp files are clear and so are my cookies! And I don't have this problem with any other sites, just this one. HELP, please! lol
HAS NO ONE ELSE HAD THIS PROBLEM?? 27. March 2003, 18:37:22 Subject: Re: timeset for games Thanks for explaining Mistery Man. I figured it had something to do with week-ends and holidays, but it seemed like it was calculated differently with every game. 27. March 2003, 12:33:58 Subject: :) Fencer, the small pente and keyro pente games look fun.
Love the alternate colours option and ability to set up more than one game invitation at a time when creating new games. That's great and will save alot of time when setting up the games! Also, congratulations on exceeding 4000 registered players - this site is ace! Blaze << < 664 665 666 667 668 669 670 671 672 673 > >> |
