mctrivia: BrainKing always gives you a choice. Who does not like slow tournaments, can join or create fast ones. Who does not like that a couple of games take years to finish, can upgrade his account to a level with no limit of simultaneously started games - then why should a long lasting tournament be a problem?
"It needs to be fixed" is a relative concept. If something is really important, it is fixed, of course. Everything else depends on my choice. When I choose not to fix it, it won't be fixed (or it might be fixed later). Who does not like it, there is always a choice to find another site to play on. Plain and simple.
That was the "short answer". Sort of.
And making some people upset is a part of the strategy. Especially the previous sentence.
