Why is room 1 always full??

I've been playing chess on and off on this website for a few years under a number of different aliases. I've noticed a fall in the standards of the players. Not in the standard of their game but in their attitudes, Im sick of getting abuse off nohopers when you play against them or them deciding to dispear from their computer when you're just about to win them. People used to be friendly and have a chat when you were playing and would always play to the end of the game. It seems now people arnt interested in playing unless they are going to win, its amazing how many people quit as soon as they loose their queen or a castle. If im stupid enough to loose my queen at the beginning of the game I'll play through to the end, ive won loads of games in this way, although admittidly the majority i have lost. Now where have all these rude people come from? Theres alot of people from around the world that play here but im sorry to that some countries just breed rude people.

hey yeah Ive noticed that too even in my relatively short time here, but anyways I think the flyordie web designers have screwed up the chess site again cause now u can't get into room 1 even when it isn't full.. i mean u used to be able to connect and then it said room full and u just had to wait a couple seconds then reconnect, but now its basically blocked off (for people who dont know the actuall web addresse for it at least)

I agree with tonikwan. 

Regarding the giveups: between players with a higher rating it is not rude at all if you give up if you lost a rook. Actually the opposite is true, it is quite surprising if somebody don't give up in such cases. Professional players always give up the game if they lose a small piece (bishop or knight), because then finishing the game is just routine work, it is not fun. If you want to learn endgames, for example, then you should ask your partner to play the game until mate.

Yes i know what you mean.

Some poeple can't stand losing, I can it's pretty easy for me. :( But still you can't really say
>>> " Some country's breed rude people " 
That could be affencive to some and racist, keep your comment's to yourself. I can just see what's going to happen to this post if those people see it.
But still don't get upset about it you won ;) just remember that, and you can brag as much as you want to them aslong as no swearing or rude, racist comment's.
:) i sound like the owner of FOD hehe sorry.

Have fun
