BIG BAD WOLF: I fully agree.

I have one board for English and czech board for czech and others
I could do with keeping the seperation

I'm not sure what you are planning - but I know in some fellowships, they would *LOVE* to be able to have multiply boards inside their fellowship.

(That is for example 1 board to chat, other board to talk about team tournaments, etc...)

Nah a board sheet

LOL

A spread-huh-what?

Fencer: Hope this will be db's we can name ourselves?

Fencer: did you use a spreadsheet?

bwildman: The current system makes no sense. I've thought out a better one.

Fencer: I really didnt want to use my Czech board....but now its open.
Does this mean there will no longer be 2 fellowship discussion boards?

BIG BAD WOLF: This option will be removed too, as a part of new multi language support on BrainKing.

ughaibu: That is because in your settings, you have the "Show number of new posts in fellowship boards of" option set to all languages.

... it's just me playing around.

Your backroom messages show up in red and are clickable.

Scarey havin Fencer starin at you,huh? LOL

Thats right :o)

That means if i press "remove" and the box leave, when there are new news will appear again there..........?

Chessmaster1000: new news will show up there. To see that news again...look at server news discussion board

If i remove the green box with the Server News from main page, how i can bring it back........?

I've arranged my waiting games in Game order; what is the sequence within each game, please?

Something on topic......

rabbitoid Aww don't make me feel guilty! I was hovering anyway - smilies ARE a feature of BK, and a great one! But I'm not sure its 'on topic' to discuss them here in such a way!

harley:

even if it is a good song!

hello/goodbye
now you've got me whistling ♪♫♪♫♪♫

mrloupcity: LOL...multi-national hello/goodbye

bwildman: before they added the new 1's to the list, was a face that u could not see the face. But it got changed was hello and was goodbye but now its a big waying face.
:o{P

bwildman said: "I wonder if he's waving hello or goodbye?"

Today I built a spreadsheet to solve this. Let me know if you want the answer.

bwildman: lol they sure are

Fiona: ummmmmm...to better see you with?
LOL...there great arent they?

bwildman: why does this one have 3 eyes??

I wonder if he's waving hello or goodbye?

mrloupcity:

That was not the purpose of the intellectual property rights that most game manufactures apply for. Sure, we see Battleship as a great game that has had millions of sales, but what was the demand for this game before it was introduced?

The idea behind patents and copyrights is to protect the product through its initial stages of growth. Once it has become 'branded' because it is so popular, then the law is relaxed a bit.

The beauty of this approach is easy to appreciate. If I a product is successful, then it "gets so big" that once the patent expires, the main company will not be hurt by imitations and copies.

If the company was not successful, very few, if any, will follow in their footsteps.

Intellectual property rights are similar to "staking your claim" when you found gold in 1849. You register the area of land you are mining, pay some nomial fee per square foot, you demonstrate the chunk of land is not so big that you can't handle it, then you can mine at your leisure and not have to worry about someone removing ore from your site.

mrloupcity:
5 or 6 years ago, the musicians union in the US. tried to have laws changed so that bands would have to pay royalties for playing cover tunes at such places as bars, weddings, hotels,etc.. It failed.

mrloupcity: I think also by changing the name. Sites can legally avoid the lawsuits.

I know prescription drug companies.. when they first come out with a drug.. such as Tylenol.. it was not allowed to be copied for like 20 years.. then after that time.. other drug manufacturers are allowed to create the generic.. Or something like that.. it has something to do with the manufacturer and the brand name..

Anyway.. back to my point.. I think that is how it is with most patents.. and BattleShip has been around for much longer than 20 years..

Different patents though could have different time frames.. so don't quote me.. just finished doing my homework and it is 3am.. so mind is a bit fuzzy.. besides, my one text book about the prescription drugs and patents.. is down at my parents motel .. hehe.. my mom wanted to read through it..

mrloupcity: Sure, if they want to waste their money for nothing :-)

If it was that big of deal, don't U think Parker Brothers would have a laws suit againest every turn base site or yahoo and msn. For people not asking if it was ok to put Battle Ship on there site. And other games they make, for some reason I don't think they really want to get into it all and it also helps them sell more of their games in stores. Ok said peace. TYVM all
:o{P

Chessmaster1000: that info is very helpful.. :)

And if you set a BKR between 1800 to 2000 only these people having this, would see your games. Nobody else. It's not like i thought at first, that all people could see but only these with 1800-2000 would be able to play........

for such a quick responce.. :)

I made the second answer.

No, sorry. I looked at the wrong numbers. There was no one second answer

one second for who to answer?

I'm impressed. ONE second for the answer

only someone who can accept the games can see them. You can't play against yourself, so you don't see them. log on as guest to see all games

One never sees one's own games.

ScarletRose: You wont see them in the waiting games room Scarlet. Inviters can only see thier new games on the bottom of the game page.

I created some games of Hyper Backgammon.. they show up at the bottom of my game page.. however, when I go look for them in the "Waiting Games" I don't see them anywhere on the list.. Did I not create the games correctly?

EIHN: Fencer I know this subjects closed but I'm putting my Two cents worth in. This is a foreine gamesite and Fencer does not have to go by American standards on this site. EIHN..if you hate it so much why don't yleave and offer your membership to someone else? OPPS I forgot she is bannewd LOL

*nod* and while its allowed to drink alcoholics in most places .. it wont be allowed in kindergarten .. or on meetings of the AA ;)

also, I might add, that she has no idea what the word public means. If you think that being in a public park allows you to strip off all your clothes and run naked through just because it's "public", then you clearly just don't get it. Public means, both for BK and for parks etc., that anyone is allowed in, so long as they follow PUBLIC RULES as well. It's such a simple concept. This is not the land of do-as-you-please, public or private. Every place on this planet has rules, so I guess according to you, there are no public places on Earth?
