I don't think it's a question of forgetting. Many members hovering just under 1000 Member Points may never have heard that there was a T-shirt on offer in the first place. And fewer still might have noticed that this prospective T-shirt has now been pulled from under them (which is no way to treat a T-shirt).

Erik's implied offer of an automated acknowledgement: Congratulations! You have now reached 1000 Member Points. What did you expect? A T-shirt! would surely go some way to marking this auspicious achievement.

Spam, spam, spam, spam....wonderful spam. If you get a t-shirt at 1000 points Erik is just shy of having a t-shirt for each day of the week (before one of you tries to explain to me who Erik is......I know, I know).

spam, spam

Me too? Can I have 1 too uncle Erik?

I want that T-Shirt!

Erick,

Instead of a T-shirt, when I reach 1000 points, I have a dozen plus of them , can I get a decal 6x8" that I can put on my inside door window, it needs to stick on it naturally.

we don't give out t-shirts or anything else. sorry!

 You just said a t-shirt for 1,000 member points!

Is this how Urban Legends start? THERE ARE NO T-SHIRTS ANY MORE.

The Great T-Shirt Rebellion of 2008, a day that will live in the history books.

If you want to send me $30 (US), I'll make sure you get a free CHESS.COM T shirt.

    {PT Barnum said there were lots of them, and I hope to find a few and make a buck.}

If I send you $30 (US), and each T-shirt is free [0$ (US)], wouldn't I be entitled to receive 30/0 T-shirts?

 You can always recognize a mile stone it's free in this world, at the moment only air and property cubage for air is free, anything else is taxed.

and you can establish your own milestone.

My suggestion is not to base it on replies to posts but rather on content, not easy!!

Do you know that since my membership on this site  that I  still do not know how many points that I have .I do not even know where to look for them and truly I do not care this is a childish rewarding system, if you do well you get a 5 star or an angel decal on your homework.

Come to the 2200 century just around the corner and do come up with a pointing system that has value or content even if people edo not respond or endorse.

Very simple to etablish and does need some programming.

Until then what ever Simons says to obtain the largest contribution to this site is in my opinion futile and to no avail!

Wake up and if rewards are important I will make at least 3 new original suggestions.

My guess would be that you have about 325 Member Points. (On an unrelated note, I'm guessing that you've been a Member Since Mar 2008 - if the heading that appears above every topic posting is to be believed.)

 paul211 go to the pub and have a pint on me!

How about some credit for being a greeter.  I did this fer a couple of hun games until I realized 99% never make a second move.  I was lookin 4 a way to play more than a couple people/day and be helpful. 

Why no t-shirt

Everybody should appreciate that happiness and recognition are just 1,000 points ahead of us!
