Some may remember the chain started by markkong. We(the few that frequently posted in the chain) had gotten to over 100 quotes but it seems that markkong was banned for cheating. I have decided to start up the chain again!
This is how we started the chain.
We gradually got more and more quotes.
Every time we posted, we quoted the post above us and posted our comment.
I believe we were on the subject of thanksgiving...
I played markkong a while a go and lost. Now he's been caught for cheating. That's a shame.

Is where I saw the 100 post chain limit.
Please, pushwood47, come back.
Please, anyone, join the chain.
I was thinking about sending messages to the "chain people" but couldn't remember any of the names.
It was just me(red), you(dark blue), pushwood47(light blue) and markkong(green)
So it will just be pushwood47 as well since markkong is banned. I think pushwood47 made a point of being cyan not light blue!
I only found this thread having searched for "chain" in the forum search engine, unable to find the original thread.
I realised that "chain" hadn't had any posts for a while so searched for it in the forum search but it wasn't there. I went onto markkong's page (typing his name in the member search) and saw that he was banned but I could still see his content. I clicked on "chain" and saw that it had been removed because of markkong being banned so I started this one.
I
Coloured the last few posts.
Right, got all the posts together.

This is the link to his page. click on chain.
I'm not sure why the content of cheaters is deleted.
A while ago I saved the first post of Gonnosuke's "The Schmidlap Manoeuvre" just in case he gets found out to be cheating.
Bump
This one isn't going so well as the last one.
Message pushwood47!
I'm on it!
Message sent!
Good. Are we going to give him green, or keep it as a memorial of markkong?
I would think keep it the same. So he would be Cyan not Green.
Hi guys! You are both out of your minds for doing this again! In fact, anybody who joins must have a couple of screws loose- oh wait, never mind all that! Wish I could help you remember who else might have been involved, but alas...
Youre back! :)
Thanks for joining! I guess there's nothing wrong with being a bit crazy!
There are only two bad things about chess.com- no live tournaments and that computer users' accounts get closed.
Got all the posts together.
So this chain is dedicated to a cheater- funny
Cheaters should be allowed to stay here IMO.

We had some good games. I think chess.com should have a survey on whether cheaters should be banned (assuming players could know if they were cheating).
Instead of a star or crown or gem, they could put a pic of Dishonest John by their name
Yeah, so people can look at them and tut.
I dont think anyone would mind a few more computers supplementing 1 Easy, 2 Medium, 3 Hard, and 4 Impossible.
Good one! (I am having trouble seeing my posts so I am changing to dark green)
Please do not use light green, as we are saving that as a tribute to markkong.
Dark green would be better actually.
That's why pushwood's using it.
also it's kinda Christmasy
And you are Santa
yeah, I just gifted you post 5000 in word association
Thank you
Oh yeah, by the way, I hope you all had a great christmas and a happy new year!
My rating went down loads over an addiction to bullet chess during the festive period.
I also am a little out of sorts. Apparently I forgot to hit SUBMIT after my last post
This is rather slow
Hey! who is this -Knight- fellow? new blood? or new name?
It's me. Guess who me is.
ah, get_lost! get out of here! (jk ) but why?
Far too many people aborted the game when they saw my username.
That's funny! I tried to join the AntiSpam vs. Blocked by Windows tournament but kco beat me to it, or maybe I was blocked? Anyway, are you going to start now that it's 3v3?
Yeah, I'll lock
Cool! I'll be following it. I'm also watching Caribbean T20 cricket from Antigua. Teams from Hampshire and Somerset are stinking it up so far.
Are there any members you would like to invite to the chain? I think maybe XOX
Go for it, not someone I know. I just invited bfs666, she might do it for the point!
RDR75 changed his name to XOX not long after I changed mine to -Knight-
Oh well fine- and he got on me for changing my avatar
You changed your name too. Where's bfs666?
I was thinking of changing my name to HensterDogMan to fit with my avatar but then I decided it sounded like I was the sort of person who stepped in dog turds if there was one to step in!
Guilty as charged. Also I couldn't get Donna interested. I also wasted time making a cryptogram about name changes- no responses so far.
I don't quite understand that cryptogram.
The first word is KUROGKUG. Maybe I should have given a few hints. Maybe I will, and give it a bump.
If anyone who hasn't posted here before views this, comment in the same style we have done. Don't worry about colour yet, we'll sort you out one later.
It's a shame you made it off-topic.
new name, new color (the color of cheddar)
The last one was off topic.
