Post-game kibbitz recording

Post by daal »

Lots of folks, when they end a game write "thanks" and disappear. For some reason, I often have something stupid to say, like "I guess I had a brainfart." This wouldn't be so bad if my post-game blitherings weren't saved for posterity along with the game record. What I'm not so sure of: after the game is over, how long does KGS continue to record?
Patience, grasshopper.

From what I've seen, until both players leave, or they enter review mode.

I think it records forever. Anything anybody rambles on about goes straight to the game record.

There is some limit on the total size of all comments in a single SGF node. Since an ended game stays at one node, eventually things will get cut off, but it takes quite a bit of comments - 8KB I think? Something like that.
