This is the response when i got asked why you get dissconnected or slow game play
These are tips you can do to improve gameplay and or reduce or eliminate frequency of disconnects:
===============================================
MSJava works for most much better than SunJava. The link for MSJava is listed on the site in the help section.
The tips below will help stay connected especially if you experience problems with older Windows 95/Windows 98/ME systems but will be a benefit to all.
CHECK YOUR FREE DISK SPACE
You should have at least 30MB of free disk space on your C: drive. To check, right click Start, left click Explore, right click C: drive & select Properties.
CLOSE
Via table Options, turn ALL sound OFF. There will be some inconvenience regarding instant notifications about opponent's moves, but your older system will be more stable after that. Also have as few as possible other programs running [no email, etc.]
CLOSE all other programs. Have as few as possible other programs running in the background. Close any instant messaging programs (e.g., ICQ, AOL, MSN). Close any email programs (e.g., Outlook, Incredimail).
LOAD COMPLETELY
Make sure you allow your browser to FULLY load while on the Game Room page before you click into which room you wish to enter. Allow to fully load before creating tables or typing messages.
CLEAR CACHE
1) From your Desktop, right click on the My Computer icon, and select 'Explore'.
2) Open the 'Windows' folder under your hard drive (should be the 'c:' drive).
3) Open the 'Temporary Internet Folder'. On your menu bar click 'Edit', then 'Select All'. Then click 'File', and 'Delete'.
INTERNET CONNECTION
You can test your internet connection to the game room.
For a more detailed connection test:
1) Click 'Start', 'Programs', 'Accessories', 'MS DOS Prompt'.
2) At C:\Windows>, type tracert 64.95.65.130 & then press enter.
3) Any number that exceeds 200 along your connecting route is a poor connection. Consider upgrading to DSL or cable to optimize your connection.
The above connection tests do not show 'lost packets' - a frequent cause of network errors and delays. The best connectivity test can be achieved with a shareware product VisualRoute available from VisualWare.com
OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
Users with ongoing connection based problems are encouraged to upgrade to Windows 2000 or Windows XP. Although not required, it will enhance your experience -- Microsoft has introduced many stability-related fixes in these newer systems
VIDEO AND SCREEN RESOLUTION
At a minimum, it is recommended (no matter what operating system you are using) to set your video display to 16 bit color. This can be done via Control Panel/Settings/Display. Also here make sure that your screen resolution is set to at least 800x600 or higher.

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.
