Any of you who cannot tolerate change very well....snap the fxck out of it. The New Caissa is on an entirely different level than the old one and everyone should be playing on it. Enough said.
 
Don't be a wuss...make the switch.

I remember under the old cassia there actually were 3,000 games
played daily.Now there is usually around 500-600.I think the
old set up was vastly superior to the new.It is too bad that
the whole set up had to be abandoned rather than just adding
improvements to it.Admin has stated that it was neccesary and
since i know nothing about programming I will take them at their
word.I do like the addition of the 2 new computer opponents and
the addition of avatars.

..Nostalgia for how 'things' Used to be {in whatever area}
will Always be regarded more affectionately by the majority
of people, than how things are proceding, and are probably
headed; due in part because, as time 'goes on'.. people
tend to forget the things that annoyed them in the past,
and mainly focus on what is presently {supposedly} 'griping'
them!
..Perhaps all those with short memories have since largely
forgotten; but back in the 'good-old-days' of Caissa's Web,
there was a substantial amount of discord among those who
had "Mars" connectivity, {with faster running clocks, and
"resign"-functions that worked}, versus the circa 30% of
'Non-Mars' 'engine' players, with the ridiculous slower-
running game-clocks, and the inability to notify a "Mars"-
connected opponent that they had 'in fact,' resigned!
 
..So much for Caissa's Web 'good-ol'-days'{!?} 0:

Anyone that says this new site isn't better, is in the state of denial.

You didn't even know this site existed in it's prime, unless of course you had a different handle which I don't believe to be the case. So how can you compare the past with the present? As for me, I don't give the chess interface the time of day anymore so it really doesn't matter if it is better or worse. My experience with it was that it was certainly worse, though it sounds like some improvements may have been made along the way.
 
I'm betting that had those improvements been done in another way they wouldn't have lost such a large share of their audience.

Been on this site under about a dozen different handles for about 10 years bro. Thank you.

Been on Caissa site for at least 10 years maybe 15. Have always had the same handle. Signed on to the new site on the get go. It has always worked good for me.

You've been on Ciassa for 10 years GP13?

GP You are mistaken in one form or another.Either you have had
a different handle or you have come here after April 26,1998.
Otherwise you would be on the list of Senior Members (top 100).
IBIJ is there (he came on March 9,1998,and I am there (I came on
Oct.31 1997)but you are not listed.
Guess time does not always fly.

Well at the risk of being obvious it won't be 10 years until October.
You have been here 9 years,5 months.But that is long enough to know
what the old site was like.

Yes,Oct. 15,1998 is after April 26,1998.
Trust but Verify per Ronald Regan....

guys, good day, the old caissa was better because more games were played the new one cannot be accessed by me because the computers available to me are not compatible.
