CGS (Color Go Server) is a failure?

I don’t think a site’s success lives or dies by whether people with “old machines” can use it?

It’s a go server, and we’re not talking about trying to run it on a Commodore 64 , it was a decent enough MacBook Pro. I just got a newer one sometime later.

I’ve seen people try to run OGS on an e-reader.

Playing Go on e-ink tablet

I hadn’t experience with eink displays so far. I tried to play a game on my tolino and it worked unexpectedly well. OGS automatically selects the white board skin. Playing a game worked without problems. The goban looks really nice on eink. As expected everything is a little slow and chatting isn’t much fun. Here some screenshots from my reader.

Basically it seems like a death sentence when the people that want to play on the server can’t play on it. I never went back to play a game there because I couldn’t load it the few times I tried.

I imagine a number of people would have had similar experiences.
