Anon: This server has the weakest low dans on the planet.... I'm 1k KGS and 2D here is more like KGS 2-3k.

wentos? I think there are number of problems with 'weak server' statement, I list them to make discussion simpler:

1. There are different servers, they seem to have different characteristics when it comes to number of players and their approach to the game (style, seriousness, rating or not, strength etc). It would be helpful to say which server(s) did you try when you talk about your experiences. 2. volatile rating system - there seems to be enuff to win or lose 4 (equal, rating) games in a row to change rating by one stone. I believe this does not compare well with other servers. The result is that you can move up and down easily and others can too.
