aprildawn was the first to find the new feature being tested on the beta site! She won a 1-year extension to her membership for the contest on the Gold Members discussion board. In case you missed it, here's the information on that new feature: Thanks to Robyn Hode and Mecir, we have just added Fast Ladders. Go to the Ladders link, and you can switch to Fast Ladders near the top of the page. Fast Ladders only includes main games at this time, with 2 days to move, and vacations/etc ignored. There's a new linking tool for it too: { Link: Fastladders } will take you to Fast Site Ladders. Please note, players have encountered some hiccups with this new feature, but Mecir is working to fix the problem.

Testimonial Of The Month |
Brought to you by: *GoldToken* Players |
What bought me to GoldToken was my dear friend ellieoop. We use to play games at IYT and she kept telling me about Goldtoken. I don’t even know if IYT even exist anymore.
Lorraine is my name and the first club that I belonged to was called “The Renegades Club”. Adding the Club name to our name was our version of a #hashtag. The Renegades club was started by Phoenix. It was and still remains my favorite club. I had so much fun working in that club with Phoenix. We challenged other clubs and the only way to keep scores was to write it down and compare notes. This was way before the wiki days. Although it saddens me, I had to disband the club because I work too many hours to keep it running properly. The person that helped me run it was "mcinturf". She tried to come back to goldtoken last year but trouble with her hands and other ailments prevents her from doing a lot of typing. Although I still call and chat with her, I miss her being here.
My favorite game here is zero G. This game is so challenging. It is a brainy game. It is the only game that I care about ratings in and don’t want anyone to beat me. Suffice it to say what I want does not matter because I get beat up a lot in this game. Chess is a favorite of mine also. I self-taught myself a few years ago and needless to say, I did not do a good job. I still love it and I own two chess boards which I never put up.
Lorraine of the Renegades
