Do you have your right side banners un- on your game sheet preferences? If not, you might want to and see the different personalized banners of GoldToken players on there created by GoldToken's graphic team to honor players. To turn on your right side banners on your game sheet, go to Options, click on Edit my Preferences then Gamesheet (at the left) and scroll down to make sure your Disable right-panel gamesheet ads is unclicked, scroll down and Apply.

You might just see your name on a banner created just for you!

Have you ever found a misspelling in your Hangman game? If so, we'd appreciate it if you reported it by posting on the { Board: Hangman } discussion board. Include your game number, which you can link by posting inside curly brackets, like this: { Game#12345 } and which list the word or phrase is in (for example, "Anything Goes" or "Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll"). Keep reading to find out what marcmandy does with those posts: RabidWolff of the Wolf Pack is the BEST at earning Eagle-Eye Tokens We have a popular game here called Hangman with a whole suite of games such as Hangman, Thematic Hangman, Kickback Hangman and Kickback Thematic Hangman. As the creator of the game, I am responsible for all of the various word and phrase lists. I am, as should be obvious, only human and the lists contain errors in spelling and punctuation. We created a Discussion Board simply called { Board: Hangman } with the subtitle Game: Hangman - Don't get your cowboy hanged! Discussion about Hangman. On this board, which I monitor carefully, people will let me know when they run across errors in the words and phrases and then I go and assemble a list of these and we on the site update the lists twice a year. When I confirm an error the player who lets me know is awarded an Eagle Eye Token for their personal page. I created the first one: (unknown photo) but then our team of graphics designers created 18 others! We have a lot of contributors, but without a doubt, THE single most observant and prolific of these is RabidWolff of the Wolf Pack who has just won the most recently created 19th token and has become the champion of reporters of mistakes on the lists. She has been quite helpful in the search for and correction of errors and misteaks , and I not only congratulate her, I thank her very much for her contributions!! Perhaps some of you can start finding errors as well. We have LOTS of Eagle-Eye Tokens just waiting to be spread around! marcmandy aka(unknown photo)

I started playing at GoldToken way back in March 2000 when the site was still in its infancy. I used to play chess on IYT and one of my opponents at the time was Mary (aka Badger who told me of this site. There were very few games at that time but one was chess. There were also very few members and sometimes I was the only person on the site. GoldToken has really taken off since then with many new games being added over the years. My favourite games are of course chess and a few of the chess variants. I also like dominoes and variants and also whist and more recently diagonal duel. I live in Edinburgh which is in Scotland with my wife who also plays on the site under the name B*Elanna. I play chess a lot and also enjoy walking (short distances) and ten pin bowling. Man of Steel
Best Blog A blog (according to Wikipedia) is a website where entries are written in chronological order and commonly displayed in reverse chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog. Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject such as food, politics, or local news; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. If you decide to enter the world of blogging, you should decide what kind of blog you want your blog to be. What do you want to write about? Are you going to write about many things or something specific? Decide how often you are going to add entries - every day, once a week, once a month, etc. Once you have decided what you are going to write about, you need to think about how you are going to write it or enter it into your blog, be it by text, by pictures or even external links. A great blog will take advantage of all of the above things. Your blog story or viewpoint can be enhanced and made much more enjoyable and interesting to read by the use of pictures and links. Write about what you are passionate about, write about what you know and make sure you know what you are writing about. For the more serious bloggers, be aware that you won't be taken very seriously if your blog is full of grammar and spelling mistakes. So make sure you spellcheck. No matter your blog content, people will continue to come back to read it as long as you continue to make it interesting. Here is a link to Blogging Rules And Terms Of Service, for your information.
