doesn't matter... the one time the site had it, it was abused to the nth degree... every owner has stated there will not be a surrender button... this is not going to change... pick better settings... in before the MERGE, with the rest of the "whiner/surrender button" threads... the black jesus has spoken...-Jésus noir
doesn't matter owen, this isn't a thread to try to get a button, I pretty much know this wont happen, otherwise it would have been up and running for a while now, this is simply a thread to get a count of who would like to see a quit button of some kind implemented in this site. As I stated before, I don't think I have seen an actual count of this. All the threads I have ever seen on the subject has arguments over silly why and why nots. I simply wanted to put numbers to this subject so the whole site can see it.....useful piece of info to have if the owner wants to see it for some reason. And from what I have seen players like to be heard in some way.
A year ago the surrender button was inches away from being implemented. Some of the old guard of mods fought really hard to stop the implementation. None of those old-guard mods are on the team any more. If the same proposal had been brought forward this year, it would have passed. Unfortunately, BW doesn't like re-trying things. If an idea is defeated he moves on to something else, and rarely goes back to something that didn't work out the first time around. So, it may be a while before it's tried again, but if it is, the core of old-timers that stopped it last time won't be there to stop it again.
I think that, although the surrender button has been defeated many times in the past, people should not give up. It is a logical idea that will eventually win.
