This time next year (we hope), or soon after, hopefully the new BrainKing will be just as popular

Facebook reveals its crazy usage figures. - While speaking to journalists in the UK, Facebook have revealed some truly insane usage statistics.

Bwild: Fellowships were created for the purpose of team matches, but so many are there for discussion only. That doesn't mean it's a bad thing, Fencer just wants to separate them into 2 categories: those for chat and discussion (groups), and those for team matches (fellowships).

Bwild: It didn't say Fellowships would be enhanced or dropped. YOU asked if fellowships were going to be dropped.

I told you my impression of what the Blog was saying, and Fencer seems to have agreed that I was correct.

So, NO fellowships are not being dropped.

rod03801: impression? all I read is the drawbacks of fellowships,hence giving the impression they are soon to be gone...where did it say fellowships would be enhanced or dropped?

AbigailII: paypal does the same thing! alertpay is slow...but does work. I hope it catches on, since the only place I've seen it is here, and its not likely I will be using it at this site ever again.

rod03801: I could not explain it better myself.

Subject: Re: brainkinginfo

Bwild: I could be wrong, but I got the impression there would still be fellowships, but there would be an additional "product" where people that just wanted to have a "club" for discussions, could do so. (Since SO many fellowships have been set up for just discussions, and they were actually intended to be used for Teams for specific game types). That's my interpretation anyway.

Subject: Re: Moneybrooker issues.

AbigailII: I never heard of anything like that. Please send me a message with your MoneyBookers account email address and I will try to ask them for an explanation.

Subject: Re: Moneybrooker issues.

AbigailII: Ugh, that's frustrating. I personally didn't like Money Bookers (I don't remember why). I have been using Alert Pay, and have had zero problems with it. It is pretty similar to PayPal

Subject: Moneybrooker issues.

I've tried to take advantage of the "code red" promotion. To do so, I created a new moneybrookers account and transferred EUR 36 from my bank account into it (using IDEAL). This was successful, and moneybrookers confirms I have EUR 36 in my account.

At the same moment however, they locked my account for all outgoing transfers. Which means, I'm out EUR 36 - and have no BK subscription in return. Does anyone else have had similar moneybrookers issues? I've used them without problems in the past (using a credit card), but they now wanted more information for a credit card transaction that I was willing to give them - hence the direct transfer route.

Subject: Re: brainkinginfo

Bwild: That's easy, my friend. The PaidMembership page shows only new subscriptions, not the renewed ones. And since it really can be confusing, I will remove that list too.

Bwild: Well it's probably just the open board that will change. That's how I read things. You'll be able to create your own board with your own circle of friends. I think.

Bwild:
public discussion boards will be replaced by a new system that would be
focused on groups of friends, event comment threads and a rewritten
module of problem reports or "I am lost, please help me" inquiries.

Subject: Re: An Inquiry

rabbitoid: Thank you kindly, and to the others, for timely and concise response. I will issue a brief note to Fencer, and also ask him to refer to the notes here, and whether he wishes to handle it or delegate to a moderator is alright with me.

BK can't control what unruly individuals will do or say, but they certainly should be able and willing to enforce the expressly written codes of conduct. These offenders need to be put on notice!

Pioneer54: Your best option as well, is to put that person on your blocked user list. They will not be able to send you private messages, nor will you see their in-game messages.

Subject: Re: An Inquiry

Pioneer54: I agree with all you too

It looks like it's normal to use bad and rude language. It's a nice idea to have a site like this as a safe heaven, even it was not a family site, it is just the way how we treat our opponents/friends. If there's no one to play against this site is useless...
So report, give warnings or delete those people

Subject: An Inquiry

This is a family site, thus foul language, sexual language, abusive personal attacks and threats ARE NOT ALLOWED on BrainKing.

The text is, of course, verbatim from the "user agreement". So, where would one (myself, that is) go to report another for reprimand for violating this clause? I don't want to print the sordid details in this forum.
