Exactly.

Thieves crept in on the night of April 17th, and took my diamond away.

I'm thinking of heading to Burger King and get a crown.

I have been ripped off so much in my 50 plus years, you could at this point accuse me of "sales resistance".

Japan rules

NOT TO BE OFFENCIVE BUT... your photo seems like it got photo shopped. real badly. contuine working on your skills! :D

Ryan... you have FREAKING 1 k plus of points!!! HOW IS THAT SPAMMING??? YOU TELL ME!!!!

No, it's not because of that. I'm in 20 different groups, and there are daily forums, I'm also the admin of 8 of them, so I'm kind of obligated to input in them.

Never felt the need of it! I have got a good mentor in my family, i get good practice by playing online, I can watch chess videos by going to youtube, i kinda dont even look at the ads, all I want is to play chess...and i am getting it here!

In my own personal experience............ O wrong thread nevermind :P

Yes, you are right. My avatar seems to have gotten the same treatment my mum used to dish out to people in her photographs (i.e. chopping part of their heads off).

Your picture of the Northern Lights looks good from here, however I do suggest you work on your spelling. Not to be offensive ;-)

Maybe "OFFENCIVE" is really what he meant...

because I am here not long enough yet. I do donate to websites that I frequently use and which I think are worth it. Chess.com is an amazing website, so after some time I will donate/become premium member.

I like the fence post! Get it?

Ryan's job (another one for him to get):

You can start a topic in the Help & Support forums. Staff usually respond to those very quickly. Other site members who have had a similar problem might be able to give you advice, too.

Naturally, the down side to paying your fee is that you will no longer be eligible to participate in this thread.

Good point, forever free!

I let my premium membership expire, but was given a Platinum crown by a mystery person who no longer wanted to stay here. It's got seven months left on it. I have no idea why they didn't want their identity known.

Okay, now we get to guess who gave the membership to CP.

I'll say it was achintooth.
