I just found out that I could make $5000 dollars a week working for google. I was going to use the money to buy a membership, but then I would have missed out on the great deal on flowers I sent to my mom. Thanks Chess.com!

Money i can make elsewhere from my business. But i am here to play and improve my chess. So in my opinion ur the one who is really missing out on something.

You are missing the sarcasm. It seems that he is annoyed with the ads that non-premium members receive. 

why work for Google with that sense of humour?  you should give Stewart and/or Colbert a call.  very similar flavour, and i like it!

Ok. Then pay a membership fee and problem solved.

What problem, I was tryin to help you all out... by the way if any of you are running late order some dominoes and tell them Lindsay sent ya

I don't understand why people don't just use Firefox w/ adblock.

its a joke i really dont care... its all in good fun

All i can say about ur joke is don't give up ur day job.

 Yeah, really. I'm rich now. I mean, 5000 bucks posting links on Google-we freeplayers have the life here.

i get 10% commission on all of your google revenue :)

Popups? What are these popups you people talk about?  Oh thats right...I am a free member and i use Firefox and dont get popups

if i had a penny for every thread about pop ups i'd have like 4 cents, maybe more

Oh man. Can I have my membership revoked? I didn't know I was missing out on so much. 

LOL  You can always log out and then just lurk around the forums or whatever to get a taste of how the other half lives.  :-)

Perhaps premium members should have an option to switch on popups.. I wonder how many would go for it.

i'll fix that! :D (evil laugh.... hahahahahahhaaha.....)

I'm having 2nd thoughts about premium now, my buddy who is a regular member just won 2 ipod nanos.

I'm glad even erik has a sense of humor
