https://brainking.com/se/News Vad är nytt på BrainKings spelserver se https://brainking.com/se/print/News?ngi=3128 Greetings to everyone in 2026! You may remember that nine years ago (January 2017) I announced the end of official support for BrainKing and did not rule out the possibility of shutting down the server itself. I won’t beat around the bush and will say it straight: this year it will indeed happen. After a long period of soul-searching and weighing all the pros and cons, I have reached a final decision that the operation of BrainKing in its current form will be terminated on December 31, 2026. I believe there are still people here whom this news will not please and who will want to know more details. That is why I have written a longer version of this statement on a separate page, which I will keep updating with answers to any questions that may arise. Please do not write to me here, as I hardly use the BrainKing messaging system anymore and would respond with a significant delay. If you have any questions, please use the contact details on the mentioned page. Thank you. WARNING! It still applies that no money will be refunded for any type of membership. I strongly do not recommend paying for anything this year, but if you do so anyway, please be aware that the server may be shut down before the paid number of months has elapsed. Thu, 01 Jan 2026 09:45:48 CET https://brainking.com/se/print/News?ngi=3127 Greetings to everyone in 2025. You might remember the announcement I made eight years ago about the end of official support for BrainKing. With this post, I’d like to remind everyone that nothing has changed, and all restrictions are still in place. The following still applies: 1) BrainKing runs without any guarantees. For example, the server might crash for an extended period, some important functionality could break due to an unexpected error, games might time out without a logical reason, etc. On the other hand, BrainKing is a fairly mature product and can resolve many common issues on its own, but it’s still important for players to be aware of this. 2) No refunds will be given for any type of membership. This information is also stated on the paid membership page, so everyone should be informed in advance that making a purchase could be risky and is not recommended for those expecting flawless and uninterrupted service. 3) Brains cannot be used to pay for memberships or anything else. This was permanently discontinued. Lastly, I’d like to add that BrainKing is still here, and I’ve decided to retain ownership of it for as long as possible under these conditions - no guarantees and no refunds for any future payments. Please keep this in mind. Thank you.

If the downtime duration exceeds 60 minutes (which is not likely but also not impossible), BrainKing would automatically suspend the game time for 24 hours. Thank you for understanding.

Sun, 23 Sep 2018 17:53:21 CEST https://brainking.com/se/print/News?ngi=3119 BrainKing.com is fully compliant with GDPR regulation and rules. In fact, it had been fully compliant since 2003 but it cannot hurt to mention it now. I have just added 2 paragraphs to the end of the Privacy Policy page, related to the possibility to request an account deletion and the description of temporary storing of system logs. Sat, 26 May 2018 10:05:29 CEST https://brainking.com/se/print/News?ngi=3118 Hi again, As a follow-up to the GDPR compliant announcement, I am in the middle of a small BrainKing upgrade to address these changes. Since it's quite difficult to test some of them locally, you might experience an occasional strange behaviour of BrainKing pages. This is normal, just be patient, please. There is one more thing I would like to mention. As you know, several BrainKing features must be still handled manually (for security reasons). For instance: Prize tournament activation Purchasing a membership for Brains Payment processing - although it is fully automatic, PayPal sometimes fails to send proper validation codes and I must step it to fix it My point is that I don't have much time to do this, so be prepared for some delays (up to several working days). Sat, 28 Apr 2018 08:03:59 CEST https://brainking.com/se/print/News?ngi=3117 Hi everyone! Since the GDPR regulation is going to be enforced in less than 2 months, I would like to announce several changes that will appear at BrainKing within this time period. Some of them probably won't be noticed at all but still, it's better to have a TODO list: Privacy Policy: Our Privacy Policy page already covers all important details of the only private data we must keep - your email address that was required to register your BrainKing account. We will probably add a short GDPR-compliant notice that would include other things introduced in this change (see below). https: Since the http protocol is not secure and also not recommended to use any longer, BrainKing will be fully switched to https with all previously saved links automatically redirected to the secure version. In fact, the site https://BrainKing.com has been working for some time (although images are still taken from http, which is why browsers mark it as "not fully secure"), so anybody can already use it. Account deletion: BrainKing never supported a real account deletion (due to database restrictions, etc.), so it will be added as a new feature. Deleted users will be displayed in games, discussion boards etc. as "[deleted player]" or a similar placeholder. If you never heard of GDPR, please refer to this page. Thu, 29 Mar 2018 11:27:18 CEST
