New look to games colony

Just noticed the new look. Why do there need to be images of people sitting at tables! For me this makes the screen seem more irritating. I would like the old version back if possible 
What are other peoples views on this new look? I just cant see the point of it
i agree ^

When you use the newly updated lobby for the very first time, the tables and people would take a bit longer to load. Thereafter, the room load time will be as fast as it used to be before.
The tables/people icons help the newcomers (like former MSN folks) adjust to the site and understand what's going on and which table is free to join.
Some old timers have described the new tables/people icons as 'cute'.
We understand that tastes differ and tried to make the new dynamic icons as tiny and unobtrusive as possible so that they occupy the smallest possible portion of the table listings screen and so that they do not interfere with the overall lobby view.
For those who'd prefer the previous text-only view ... unfortunately there's no way to turn the new icons off. Please try and see if you can ignore them or get to like them -- after all it's about people playing at tables...

I agree with b1_returns...what about adding a fifth column? that would b more beneficial especially if we could see ladder ranks in the column

While I could certainly have lived without the new icons, I do think that they have the effect of making the print slightly cleaner and clearer. That was not important for me, but I think the designer should be given a pat on the back if his/her brief was to do something: "eyecatching but not obtrusive" and "to give the page a lighter feel". Of course, it's all subjective. Obscuring the icons isn't difficult.

there are over 2500 players on the ladder, not only would it be beneficial, it would encourage others to play as well

Play chess tournaments online
At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
