In early October I sent out a message to this mailing list about why KGS switched from "kgs.kiseido.com" to "www.gokgs.com". It's been pointed out to me that this message made it look like Kiseido wasn't holding up their end of our original argeement. I want to make it clear that this is completely not the case. Kiseido Publishing always treated KGS fairly. The agreement between Kiseido and KGS was written with the intent of Kiseido helping KGS get to a point where it was self-sufficient, and it did exactly that. Once KGS started earning income on its own (through KGS Plus), the Kiseido support was intended to stop.
Not only did Kiseido hold up their end of the agreement, but on several occasions Richard Bozulich and Kiseido were very generous in allowing changes to the agreement to be made, always in the favor of KGS. I'm happy to have worked together with Kiseido, and I hope that in the future we continue to do so! KGS will continue to run ads for the Kiseido Publishing site for the forseeable future. Sorry for this offtopic message. Since the original misleading email was on this mailing list, I thought it was important to use the same list for the clarification. _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list [email protected] http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
