This place has gone down the pan.

Log in - No games unless you want to enter one of the tournaments that carry zero prestige. Too many on the go and it seems only clooneman is receptive to any comments in regards to doing away with the majority and taking it back to the days when winning actually felt worthwhile.

How many times do we have to post explaining that winning a tournament with between 10-15 entrants in an anti climax before somebody in authority does the sensible thing? Well done on trying to implement a medal system, but the skill is on how many hours you can spend on the site as opposed to how much skill you possess.

Logging in as a guest is no better. First time users see a ghost town. You join a room full of guests and can't even ask for a game. Click game rooms and you'll be lucky to find 1 game per discipline. New users will not use the filter system to realise a community actually exists and go elsewhere.

Another issue that needs addressing is to make some of the mods admin, such as Chris, Joodles or Ab. It's painfully apparent some of the current admins have either lost interest or simply don't have the time to log in due to commitments outside the net. If admin can't log in for months at a time (Spinner, Katiebug, Mcquiston) what is the point in them being in the position.

Lastly sort the mature date ads out. We know they pay more. Stop implying it's down to the user what we see. I log in from many locations and they are always there.

not very often i agree with these types of posts but i fully agree with you here, even the part about the medals and tournaments, for a while ive been wanting a tournament every 1-2 hours compared to every 15 minutes as then it highers the prestige of winning a tournament. I remember the days where you had 4 rounds in tournaments (thats over 64 players) when tournaments was friendly and no medals to go for so it was something you could enter for fun.

ranked tournaments has eliminated the fun element since its all about rank now rather than sportsmanship, and serious rather than something to pass the time.

It is ad blockers they do not like, they would not have implemented the zoom in option on the game window if they didn't like it.

same difference, you use zoom, to make the ad go to 10%. Same difference. No?

nope as the advert still runs in the background despite shrinking it to a microscopic size. Ad blockers gets rid of the ads permanently, same as premium would thats why admins don't like them as they lose out on £10 for each person who does it.

He makes a very good point about admin, with fastboysam and clooneman seemingly the only active admin

Perhaps the active mods becoming admin could be beneficial (if they were willing to do it)

And yeah scrap all the tournaments

I remember the good old days of desperately trying to get into the chatroom.... now its rarely full
