fwiw, I agree with OP. BGA has some need to communicate with its users when your servers are down. The choices of platforms to do this (Xitter and Facebook) are terrible, and reflect poorly on BGA. With the greatly increased membership fees I'd expect you could afford a real status service where you...

Noting there are 8 people in this thread who basically never post on the forums, 3 of whom literally this was their first post ever.

If information was available to you, it should REMAIN available, in the display, for the rest of the game. Asynchronous games can take a long time to play. I've had one go two months! If information is g...

I can't find where to give feedback about the implementation, so I'm gonna post here. - the board orientation has confused several people i've taught it to. they assume "their" side of the board is at the bottom. It would be nice if the orientation of the board could be drawn in favor this...
