Jim Dandy: If Fencer raised the annual price of a Rook by 10% even..two or three times over the next ten years..then the Black Rook would prove to be a good long term investment. I'm not thrilled by his lack of replies etc. but if he were truly money hungry it wouldn't be so hard to buy memberships for my friends. I don't like PayPal, he won't take hardly anything else, no credit cards, no checks and no place to mail cash. If I ran the site I would have 100 ways to pay, in every currancy, I would accept watches and jewlery, stamps, coins, old tv sets and have P.O. Boxes in every major city. He is impatient (or worse) when he thinks things are not his fault and the members are impatient (or worse) when they think it is. When you play on 4 or 5 sites and only BK is having problems it is a hard sell to convince people it is their browsers fault. On Gold Token there were dozens of people with a dozen different complaints all at once and it turned out that there was only one root cause. Perhaps Fencer could dig deeper to see if something like that isn't going on here.

Jim Dandy: Its no problem to name at least 10 "programmers" who are giving Fencer "good advice"  but how many good advice about business economy does he get?

Andersp: I wouldn't want to paint everyone with the same brush,I have had my own issues in a global mod scenario.There are good and bad apples in every crop,and some don't know how to handle power.

Jim Dandy: Some of the more trigger happy ones have been replaced and the current crop doesn't seem to be as egregious. I now moderate or are BB on 8 F/S and I think the old rule is best: He who moderates least moderates best.

Purple: I think it comes back to what Andersp was saying.You may be a genius in the tech end,but lacking in people skills.The people skills people should do the people stuff.
