Which server(s) do you play on?
A good opportunity to see if I can make a poll without failing
. Let's see which server(s) are the most popular among the growing Life in 19x19 community! Make recommendations too and why you like/dislike particular servers.

Re: Which server(s) do you play on?
I can only bear real time games anymore.
IGS is really good for a quick game, but it's really all that it's good for. It isn't even better than KGS in watching high leveled games anymore.
KGS is the greatest. It has an easy way to not play against selfish people, and a great supportive community. I seriously hope that it wouldn't corrupt over time, which it probably will, since the spread of the game will bring uptight cubes over.
In let's say, 10-30 years I think that the Go Community will change for the worst. The sandbaggers of today will probably be a minor character in the case of vulgarity.
Sorry, I went off tangent
Maybe I should have done it in another thread

"Complexity is Magic: The Gathering, lots of tiny rules and special cases, and basically every single card is a unique case. Depth is Go: the game has 4 rules, and it takes literally decades to learn how to play that game well."

Re: Which server(s) do you play on?
I play a few moves on DGS pretty much every day but I try not to have more than 5 games at the same time. I also play on KGS from time to time, but I can't seem to make time for a game there as often as I'd like. And I haven't selected Other, but I've played a couple of Go games in Brainking in the past, but I tend to just push chinese chess pieces there.

Re: Which server(s) do you play on?
Just KGS for me. I've thought about creating an account on a few of the other servers, but I'm so bad about playing on KGS, what good are more accounts going to do?! Need to get better about playing again first.

Only on KGS; I still have the t-shirt that says "Banned from IGS".
Best wishes.

Re: Which server(s) do you play on?
Mostly OGS , and a few games every now and then on KGS.
I haven't found as much time as I'd want to play real time games for a while now.

I play on DGS so much that I wrote the Andriod client anDGS so that I can more easily make a move anytime.

Re: Which server(s) do you play on?
I only play on KGS for now. I have signed up for an account on GoShrine but its browser-based go board it a little too small (for my liking). Didn't know there were that many other servers... I shall go poke around now

Mostly on Oro - my favourite user interface and free of lag problems, and, say this quietly, my rank is higher there that on KGS

Re: Which server(s) do you play on?
I listed KGS, DGS, IGS, OGS and WBaduk, but these are servers that I have played at least once.
Currently whenever I find time to play (which does not occur very frequently), I play either on wbaduk or kgs.
It is remarkable how much the players styles on these two servers differ. WBaduk is almost pure reading and crazy fighting, kgs is much more about "civilized" fighting (if I may use that term). But honestly I enjoy playing on wbaduk more, no strategy, no fuseki, no joseki, just crazy fighting.

If you say no, Elwood and I will come here for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day of the week.
Re: Which server(s) do you play on?
I'm mostly a KGS player
I occasionnaly slip and start a few turn based game on DGS and regret it for the months that follow. I really hate having to commit to single game for more than a few days.
