I will become a free member once my platinum membership ends. I don't like how c.c treats their paying members and forcing the new format on them, changing everything for no reason and creating chaos, and with so many bugs left out in the new format with 2 months gone.

I paid for mine in blood. Took me months of donating blood and being very weak. In the end I am now officially a member : )))

Because I am really tight on money.

And because I hardly ever use the site anymore. 

It's okay, as long as you've stopped calling me angry. 

What's this about a free dinner?  I'll bring the wine...

I wish my sexy chicken was here...she's out roasting at a hen's party : (

Ditto.

You gotta face it. Every site upgrades now, and then.

HOW COULD YOU MISS THIS STATE OF THE ART SITE

Even my chickens are hassling me for membership! Bok Bok Bok...never ends. What to do? Pecking order here is huge : (((

Please help?

For the love of god, please, put on a shirt.

I didn't mind the upgrade per se, what I objected to was the decision, as part of the upgrade, to make everyone's friends public information.  This was with no advance notice, it was done automatcally, and even after it was done, there was no way to opt out.  Eventually, an option was added to let people hide their friends again, but I didn't appreciate that chess.com took information that I had created privately and made it public without my knowledge or consent.  So they won't get any more money from me.

That being said, I'm also not happy with the 'enhanced' computer analysis.  See my thread here: http://www.chess.com/forum/view/game-analysis/what-am-i-missing?

As best as I can tell, I'm paying for bad information.  But look at the thread and tell me why diamond level computer analysis (2500 rating) says pushing a pawn is better than forced mate. 

There are indeed still bugs to deal with.

And a mask?

What about a wig? You would be surprised how good I look in a long wavy blonde wig xxxooo

Then why would he need three coaches if he is so talented? Is one not enough?

Thanks for the reminder, how about tag-team coach wrestling?  Instead of throwing in the towel they could throw in the chess pieces, I would pay to see that.

And I would happily go see also : )

I am not a member because I spent all my cash on guitar lessons...and they won't reimburse me.
