yep I agree, It took almost 3 times longer than normal to access my profile(which is slow to access to start with)

5. January 2004, 16:38:07

its been slow here at times depends what im trying to acces i think

It depends. You know, database server performance goes up and down, up and down, up and down ;-) It needs more RAM.

Is the site slow, or my connection??

5. January 2004, 15:42:02
Backoff 
Had had 5 with less than 2 moves, I didn't even notice that before.

5. January 2004, 15:38:02
Fencer 
Backoff: You cannot count unrated games [with 2 or less moves of each player]. See also FAQ page.

5. January 2004, 15:37:38
Stevie 
if none were non rated Backoff, I think if any finish before a couple of moves, they dont count too.
So if a game is started but times out, they are like that.

5. January 2004, 15:30:55

I have completed 30 chess games but still have a provisional BKR, why is this? I thought it changed after 25.

Linda's post... Boost a pawn
There is a program here at brainking where a needy pawn can get an upgrade to member status for 6 months free of charge.
Pawns must play here regularly. Be at or near their game limit and cannot afford to pay for membership. If you are a pawn or know of a pawn that fits into this category please message me for more information to be considered into this program. Membership is for 6 months only.

Please only those that qualify should apply. Thanks.

5. January 2004, 00:45:36

Ok everyone, you have 24 hours to sign up for my New Years Chess blowout!!! HERE. The winner gets a 6 month rook membership. Some of the top players on the site are in this and it should be very fun. Good Luck.

Slow for me also (again).
Good night :-)

Haven't really noticed anything from here.. must be a backbone/router problem.

I just hope it doesn't go like last night, that was a nightmare.
I don't have a problem with 2 other site i have open though ?

4. January 2004, 21:39:19
Backoff 
It's been slow for me too.

4. January 2004, 21:34:32
coan.net 
This site has been slow for me also - but actually other sites that I'm on right now are also slow, so I figure it is not a BrainKing issue - but some other issue in the "internet"

4. January 2004, 21:30:58
MadMonkey 
Is anyone else having problems with the site going very slow ?
There are about 140 on line at present though.
I hope it is not going to meltdown like last night again LOL

I didn't know we (pawns) could get invited to join club discussions... Any more info how this is done? and by whom? etc...

Linda get Fencer to put it on a green board or include it in his membership page

4. January 2004, 20:43:18
Backoff 
I think everyone is missing one important point. I don't care who gets the memberships I donate (i.e. that's why I do it in tournaments) because the money goes to the site. That's what it boils down to is helping out the site.

4. January 2004, 20:28:56
Linda J 
Please, whether you are for or against this program posting about it here is doing no more then covering it up and the very reason I reposted.
I answered quesions about this at the debate club yesterday and will do it again today if anyone has any. You can also send me a pm with questions although I would rather do it at the debate club to avoid answering over & over. If you are not a member of the debate club and want to learn more about this program request an invitation to the debate club..Thanks.

I personally prefer to "get to know" the person I'm thinking of sponsoring..
I think the program is a great idea, but use it in conjuction with your own good judgement too..

Subject: Re:
I agree with Lythande here... anyone can bluff its way into getting sponsored.
I bought a membership for my co-worker as a xmas present, perhaps an idea in that way...

Lythande 
I think LindaJ's program (whether original or not) is a very nice gesture. It can also help those who, though they cannot afford to sponsor a pawn on their own, could donate smaller amounts to the cause. I only have one question: How will the 'not be able to afford it' be determined? If it works anything like public assistance, pass!

4. January 2004, 19:34:21
Jason 
i think i would just prefer to pay someones membership ,rather than go through boost a pawn programme

4. January 2004, 19:27:12

Subject: Re: The cynics view
1) Having a computer connected to a phone line through an ISP doesn't necessarily mean you 'can afford it'.

2) Just because you can manage to struggle through #1 most definitely does *not* infer you can afford more.

I'm not sure if it was BK problems all together, seemed more like DoS attack on one of the providers in Europe since i've got 11-12 hops to www.brainking.com last night I had 20+ then the timeoutes came...

Yea, I've had trouble also on a few different sites that I go to.

I would not be surprised to hear in the next day or so about either some major internet "attack/hack", or some major problems at one of the main internet routing points.
