GoldToken is now running under a new operating system, FreeBSD. We took the time while we were down to install this set up, since we had planned on taking GoldToken down in the near future to install it anyhow. Just made sence. I am truelly sorry for the lengthy delay and down time, but GoldToken will run better with the change, and have fewer down times because of the more stable system. I am also working with Chad to install a mirror system, so, should one of GoldToken's servers go down, (like any computer, it happens), you won't even notice, as the mirror site will continue to function as normal. This is a costly feature to add, but will keep GoldToken in the lead for being the top state of the art, turn based, game site. Please note that on Friday, January 5, 2007, from 12:00 AM (EST) until 6:00 AM (EST), we will be conducting maintenance on GoldToken's servers. This is needed to configure our racks to efficiently distribute electrical loads and cooling requirements. Without proper maintenance, our initial rack configurations become outdated as time progresses. Please note that we do expect this to result in an outage for GoldToken of approximately 6 hours though it could be far less. There is no way to conduct this maintenance without actual downtime but every effort will be taken to minimize the impact on your game play and enjoyment of this site. The time frame referenced is to allow for us to respond to any unexpected issues that might occur, and is not meant to indicate that a 6 hour outage is expected. Please join us for some special prizes, trivia and contests during the Friday, January 5, 2007 downtime for fun and games at http://groups.msn.com/Goldtoken-com/  --Badger
GoldToken would also like to take the time to send a big congratulations out to all our recent tournament winners!!! If your name is on this list, please send Badger your mailing address and a link to the tournament for your prize! Thank you for participating in our site tournaments! - Kran -
In life we meet new friends, many of them become true friends, and some turn into extra special friends. Here at Goldtoken, I have met many of these. :O) There are a few special friends who have been there when I was down and made me laugh to pick me up. Their kindness and sense of humour have been the best! They have made The Pork Chop Club a fun place to be and part own, so I would like to salute my best friends. :O) Pepper - ( has a special  )MountainMist eliphont551 ZOE STUSTU Badger This is for you my bestest friends :O) - porkpie1

Sorry, there will be no treasure hunt this month while we get caught up on a few other upcoming projects. But, look forward to next months special prize hunt! It will be awesome!

Each treasure hunt player who has not won the treasure hunt contest in the last 6 months, that finds all 12 wins one of the new GoldToken Embroidered Patches!! Best of all, guests that find all 12 will win a 2 month silver membership! Everyone can play! Guests included! Once you have found all 12, message Contest Director with Profile Treasure Hunt in the subject line. Good luck!! * Note: sharing the logo locations before the contest ends disqualifies you. So please play fair.

I had joined GoldToken in November of 2004. A friend told me about this site, and is now the only site I play games at. I really love the way it is run. I mostly love the fact that my grand-daughter can come to this site if she wanted to and I would not have to worry about her seeing anything out of line. I started my own club called { Club } in September of 2005. People joined like crazy. I have had so much fun with it. I love setting up the challenges for the clubs. I have even had some site wide challenges. I now have a club named The Gammon Addicts Club that was handed down to me. That club is so fast paced that we start new challenges everyday. Then I was given the opportunity to run { Club }. That is a very good way for new people to the site to learn how the clubs are run and some of the different things you will find in a club. In summary, GoldToken is the best game site I have ever seen. Thanks to everyone that helps to keep this the great site that it is! ~~Sondra
