So here are some cool things to know about this site that you probably didn't know.
Firstly, we have a fully customizable avatar for every user. I am really happy with our avatar settings so please check it out and make your own unique avatar! Of course, if you don't like our avatars ( ) then you can also upload your own avatar as long as it doesn't have any explicit content. (Just keep it reasonable and you'll be fine.)
Also, have you noticed the stars under each persons name? These are your current level as a user! This site implements a level up system for our users! The higher level you are, the more stars you have. The exceptions being Admins who already have the max number of stars. But at each level the stars change color, so you will be in for a surprise each time you level up. I saved the coolest color for the users who reach the max level. But it will be a secret until someone finally reaches it! (Even admins don't have the cool color.) I really enjoy this system as it rewards activity. It even makes me want to create a "secret" account to participate with everyone! I will also give one private lesson to those who level up at each level. The first one is at 50 post, so get to posting! (But be warned!! Spamming post may reset your post count to 0 or make you ineligible for private lessons.)
Did you know about the Karma system? Under each players avatar you can add or take Karma from someone depending on how they act. The more karma someone receives the better karma titles that person receives. You should also note that giving Karma does not reduce your own Karma count, so don't worry a give away! But you can only give 1 karma every 15 min!
We also have a folder marking system. On the forum to the left you can see a folder, if a piece of paper pops out with the word "New" on it you can see it has new content. You can also bookmark post to easily find them later in certain sections of the forum!
In addition, did you know you have access to free game reviews in the game review section? This site has several teachers who are more than happy to review your games! (Though it is focused on Kyu level players.) While you may not get the strongest teachers on the site, you can get feedback on every game you post in the Game Review section of the forum! If you want to help out the site though, you can even send your game to me, Shawn Ray, personally to get it reviewed for only $2!! This money is used to sponsor the site and pay for domain hosting and even sponsors tournaments/leagues/teachers. This is a great way to support the site aside from private lessons. If you have income and you love the site, we ask that you please use one of our lesson options to sponsor the site so it can remain free for everyone who does not have the money to pay for lessons.
This site is dedicated to helping Kyu players reach the Dan ranks all the way from complete beginner level players! It is a site I created to give people a place to study and improve their game while spending almost no money! I am making this site %90 free for people since most players cannot afford to pay for private lessons. So this is going to focus on those people. While in contrast, the students who get private lessons are actually sponsoring everyone else with every lesson they get! I am really excited for this system to take off since I know many players wants a school or teachers but lack the funds to do so. Well now you don't have to worry!
What do you guys think about all these cool things?
I hope you guys enjoy the cool features of this site and look forward to seeing more added in the future!! See you guys around the Forum~
