Title: Server Down?
Post by: rottenrolls on October 27, 2005, 12:51:55 PM
Hi all!

just lost my connection when playing on parlorplay - and there's no way to get back to the board. Anybody else having those problems?
Is it the FIBS server?

Any suggestion welcome

Best wishes

I suggest you don't use Parlorplay.  There are many fine optional interfaces you can use for free.  

Maybe you are one of those whe play from there and drop a lot.  If you aren't, I apologize.  If you are, be it known that Patti can find you and have you banned.

Hi Socksey, Rottenrolls and TheTrojanRabbit,

I do not think that anyone of the 2 fibsters above is a dropper because of these stats:

Rottenrolls: Rep 3740 5 saved games, Rating 1470 and Exp 1283

TheTrojanRabbit: Rep 46779 6 saved games, Rating 1341 and Exp 780

In addition TheTrojanRabbit has no complainers and a lot of vouches from non-droppers players.

I agree with Socksey that parlorplay is the less preferable choice as there are a lot of good clients that anyone can use. I think that Parlorplay is only useful for players that they use to log in from their work in cases that the server there does not let them connect from a client. But this benefit is very small compared to the damage it makes to Patti who is trying to find and delete an illegal player and that player is hiding behind this IP.

Suggestion for Rottenrolls & TheTrojanRabbit: Go to Connecting to Fibs (http://www.fibs.com/connecting.html)
and download the client you like the most and it is suitable for your PC.
