 | | Memethecat: <WannaBe> There approach just seemed a bit heavy handed. I got the membership here not for the extras but because its a great resource & worth supporting, I'm just about to do the same at Chesstempo, for the same reason & because Richard, the guy that runs it, is really nice & helpful. Give me carrots any day, sticks will be snatched away & broken into small pieces, then used as kindling to build a fire to sit around & contemplate upon the best way to make he who did first wield said stick, repent. And, there's no way to contact them to discuss it, I dont mind the ads but tracking cookies are not welcome.☣ |

 | | WannaBe: <Memethecat> Here is what I have done: 1. Turn off cookie settings to prompt.
2. Allow GK.com to save a cookie, this makes login easier, and you can select the 30 day remember me option. 3. Any other cookies from another (3rd-party), even if it is from within GK's advertisers, I disallow... |

| | Memethecat: All my settings are the same, GK.com already have 9 cookies stored on my pc. But I use WinPatrol to block known tracking cookies. I'll just wait & see if they contact again. The options were buy membership or allow ads. But like I said, the ads are there. So we'll see. |

| | WannaBe: Good luck against Global Bounty Hunters. Go get them team!!! I know a few of you have 'maxed' out on your number of games, and I will duly make a note of it in my spreadsheet. You guys have been great, such an easy team to manage. =) Jolly Goooooood Show, Carry On. As You Were! |

 | | AgentRgent: Lol well 4 games against the same guy (Smallphish) should be interesting... I will probably deviate in my 2nd game as black (in the first I'm trying a rather unproven line that I'd been wanting to give a test run to for some time), assuming he doesn't deviate first. I guess I should just consider it my first gameknot Match! hehe |

| | WannaBe: <AgentRgent> Again, my apologies, I should have paid a bit more attention on the match-ups... =( |

| | AgentRgent: <WannaBe: Again, my apologies, I should have paid a bit more attention on the match-ups..> It's not really a big deal I guess. I was just a little surprised. |
