thats not my point. he is deliberately going over the time limit. Thats past the rules surely????

It's hard to do when he's not here.
Moreover, he doesn't break any rules.
You can play unlimited number of games Steve, so why is one slow game with Kevin such a big problem?

You are talkative today :o)

So how about doing something about Kevin and speak to him?

Try it, I am kind of talkative today :-)

I have a question but im not sure if it is an "Oldhamgirl question" or "Bernice question" so i think i wont ask it :)

But you can keep hoping, of course :-)

Ok..sorry my mistake, forget what i said about hope then :)

Andersp: I have not listened to any advice. There are only different kinds of questions.

Im glad to see that you "listened" to my advice Fencer theres hope for you too :)

Its understandable for players who have not been on site, but this is stupid

I know we cant complain normally about KEVIN and his moving ways.
But, every time we get the suspended time thing he does this.
He was on 6 hrs ago, and has been each day and even posting on boards. He has let many games time out, but when FENCER says that it will start again, he will rush and do them.

NOW TELL ME I SHOULDNT COMPLAIN.
I reckon the games should be ended and we win.

I've seen a few that I haven't liked, but I also kind of know where you're coming from too.

I am wondering what the status of this is. They're still dark.

Fencer: I can't see a note about this anywhere, but you may know already.
Have you tried to 'Hide Message Archive' at the bottom of you game page ?
It just sends you back to your Main screen. I only knew when a Pawn messaged me saying they were trying to get theres back and this kept happening to them.

Andersp: How do you like this "Fencer answer"? :-D

Bernice: When it happens, it means that the database server refused to insert your post/move because of a current overload. It's just a feature of database servers and there are two ways, in general, how to fix it:

1) Optimize the application/database code and infrastructure. It is already done and it's called BK 2.0.
2) Optimized code bring one consequence - since the site is faster, it can serve more requests at once. Which, of course, makes the site slower. It's a common problem of all sites with non-sufficient hardware. The remaining solution is to replace the current database server by a new one, faster one.

Please note that we are still running on the same hardware configuration as we started with two years ago. It's a small miracle [thanks to Liquid] that it still runs in kind of acceptable way.

I as maybe a lot of others had aproblem with having to play games and write messages twice, or even 3 times in the old BK...I noticed that this hasnt changed?? will it be fixed?

Thanks rod03801

Yes SunFire

how to grow best ... :D ~*~

I want to extend my membership, Is it OK to do it now with BK2?

don't forget pages and pages of arguments from grown women too ;)

Thanks Fencer! I hate to bother you with trivial things.
You have done a great job on the conversion!!

I not sure everyone would consider them harmless, Viking. But even if this were so, it is still the wrong board for such things. People come here to post about BrainKing, and read about it. Not to read page after page of arguments between grown men. If they really have to argue, as Stevie says, there are more appropriate boards.

that is correct, Steve. But was this really the reason for cencorship this time?
This being a wrong board, I rest my case.

But this is the BK board, gen chat would be better for those "arguments" ;oÞ

what exactly is wrong about arguments? What harm can they possibly do? Especially when I am willing to bet that usually those involved in these HARMLESS arguments find them entertaining. And so do I.

And besides, even kids in kindergarden are allowed to have arguments. It is kinda absurd that they are not allowed between adults in an internet discussion board :).

Viking, if you're referring to editing from today on this board, it was not a harmless discussion. It was name calling which was growing into an argument.

...is really annoying. Moderators should just let these harmless discussions go on.

I'll look at it.

Messages of plays on BK don't post to my inbox anymore. Is that another bug?

Not on this board please. Kindly take it elsewhere while I tidy up :o)

And here we go again.

nope....today I'm a cowboy!! LMAO:)

dang....just cant be civil.

[edited]

Gothic, when you post things to public boards, everyone becomes involved remember.... private messages, private matter. Public board, everyones becomes involved.

And thank you for explaining that it was a joke, I did not take it that way. Pats Gothic on the back and heads off. :-)

I see....not like fellowship tourny's?
thx Steve:)
(I think) LOL:)

Bite him Wolfey LMAO

I think they will be able to join their team to one, but for now only fencer can make the tournies i think

Quick!! someone pat Ed on the back...before he breaks his arm!!

can cpt's start tourny's?

Gothic, maybe I'm missing something, but who said anything about investigating you other then yourself? Am I missing a post or something?

Well Mr. Loupe, there is this link:

Me versus the Deep Thought chess computer

Back in 1989 I beat the World Computer Chess Champion in a game that lasted only 20 moves.

Then there is this link:

Ed beats Chinook, World Champion Checker Computer

That was on October 21, 1996.

So, I guess I don't need you to investigate me.

:)

No, only Big Boss can remove teams.

Well I just created a Spider Line4 team in one of my fellowships, then joined another team in a different fellowship, and the original team stayed there. (But did not enter a team tournament.)

Question: Does a captain of a team have the option to remove a team from a fellowship? (All teams I'm captain of I'm also the BIG BOSS, so I'm not sure.)

i had a team untill bry enterd the team tournament then it dissapeard sometime after .


one of the main reasons im asking for is im not sure what teams im in and want to make sure that i can fully support my fellowship in some of the teams once they are in full swing .

hehe ,thats why i joined brys lol. no seriosly (sp) because im big boss and enterd another fellowships team im not too sure that i can have a team in my fellowship ? just waiting for fencer to clarify things for me .

Jason: It could be a negative effect of the database conversion. Very unlikely, though.

I'm sure there are lots of backgammon players willing to join your team for the team tourney, Jason.
