Once again I ask that question, maybe the result is now different.

Felix,

Maybe you should run the same poll in the Computer Chess section so those interested in Computer Chess will see it ;-)

Seriously though if 2 rooms is to stay - maybe when a topic is moved some indication can be left behind so that we don't get multiple threads started - or so people don't get as pissed wondering where their thread has gone. I read the post this morning by one of the moderators saying that you don't communicate with each other. Maybe you should agree some general rules so that there is consistency. Maybe you could provide a sticky, locked, thread somewhere that actually lets us know who the moderators actually are?

Best Wishes,
Harvey

I didn't even know there was a CC forum.  I guess a lot of people might be missing it ... I would think it should be one forum since Rybka IS part of Computer Chess and a big part at that.

I think you have hit the proverbial nail on the head. :)

One of the better idea, though I'm quite confident we'll still get many nearly identical treads - for good and for bad, anyoing because of the number of threads, or annoying due to the number of posts, that sometimes makes it a bit difficult to follow a line in a given thread.
Often people is either to lazy to seach, make the wrong seaches, or they're just new to the forum and post their question, remark etc.  Anyway, I don't think we can avoid that people repost on a topic or use the slightly "wrong" subforum. So be it ;)

Personally I think it's good with a "computerchess" section, since "Rybka support" isn't about just any computerchess issue, but again the line is thin, and to be more conseqent we should have a hardware subforum too, since truly many threads is about about exactly that, hardware.

Well, Harvey, wont hold you back from from your cookbook writing, or the kitchen... What's it gonna be today, a fried little fish or a boiled pirahna? ;)

Cheers!

Well 1st i want to know why my RYBKA recipes get moved to the flip side? They are about Rybka. The section is called Rybka it does not say Rybka Computer Chess.

Yes.
I hope we'll get an answer to that - I don't have a clue right now, but have to guess, that someone thinks they're off topic. I don't see them as such, i have to admit - they're VERY Rybka-ish :)

Yup! ;)

These recipes had originally the word "fish" instead of "Rybka." You can't expect to change one word around and that your message suddenly becomes on-topic ;)

Anyway, I've been advised to be more flexible regarding offtopic posts like those (the thread was about the next 100 years in engine chess) so Rybka recipes will remain at the Rybka main forum from now on :)

And about the chaos caused by moving threads, I suggest the other moderators to not use the Move option (As it makes the original thread disappear) and to branch the whole thread instead (So the original thread stands with a cross-linking post and people don't need to create more threads about the same issue.)

What about a cooking section? ;)
Parent - - By Harvey Williamson (*****) Date 2008-03-11 17:15
well yes but that would be for all cooking except rybka as that surely belongs in the rybka section :)
Parent - - By Henrik Dinesen (***) [dk] Date 2008-03-11 17:20
Cooking & serving Rybka..?

With contests for the professionals? ;)

Suforum with fish recipies where the mainingredients is either a Rybka or Zappa? Web-kitchen administred by Harvey Williamson! :)
Parent - - By InspectorGadget (****) [za] Date 2008-03-12 08:13
I want to see Higher Intelligence Anti Rybka Chess System get stronger to beat Zappa Mexico. Since Harvey in another thread came with the information that ZAPPA is a fish. I want to see the recipe of HIARCS cook ZAPPA. :)

But they would need to change their name to HIAZCS, and HIAZCS doesn't sound good ;)
Parent - By InspectorGadget (****) [za] Date 2008-03-12 14:20
"HIAZCS"

I like that, :)

Non-chess-playing-fish section?
Parent - By Banned for Life (Gold) Date 2008-03-11 18:24
The question for inclusion in the Rybka section should be "Does the post serve Rybka?". Harvey's posts do serve Rybka (on a platter).

>The section is called Rybka it does not say Rybka Computer Chess.


The subtitle says: Rybka games, positions, matches, tournaments and technical questions - are recipes a subset of technical questions?
Parent - - By Harvey Williamson (*****) Date 2008-03-11 17:18
People don't even know there is a Computer Chess section do you think they read the subtitles?!
Parent - By Henrik Dinesen (***) [dk] Date 2008-03-11 17:23
It's a matter of training think... I learned to swith the light on when it was dark, someday I'll figure out how to turn it off when already bright day... I hope :)
Parent - - By Felix Kling (Gold) [de] Date 2008-03-11 17:43
Yes.

I think the concept with the sections is not too difficult to understand...
Parent - - By Harvey Williamson (*****) Date 2008-03-11 17:45
maybe not but Ansari a regular poster here was unaware of it - so how many others?
Parent - - By Felix Kling (Gold) [de] Date 2008-03-11 17:47
You can start a poll if you want :)
Parent - - By Harvey Williamson (*****) Date 2008-03-11 17:50
ok!
Parent - By Henrik Dinesen (***) [dk] Date 2008-03-11 18:15
No!! ;-)
