Is Chess.com Becoming A Social Network?

I am not actually a real player. I am a computer that makes moves based on a vast database of all moves ever played...in any game....ever. I operate on the most advanced thinking engine ever devised, which is why I am rated so highly on Chess.com.... Wink

I don't think so, there are some nice people on this site. You will always get a few AHoles but such is life. You can't please all of the people, all of the time. ;)

Yea, you and me both.  Plus 6 million others.  

Nothing close to 6 million people or more are registered on this site. Never seen the site it self count more than 3-400.000 playing chess*1). The list of members the site presume have been cheating grow rapidly*2), and cheaters use assistance to their own brain while playing.
I guess the average IQ among the members of this site is below 100. (I'm not going to tell who pulls the average down, but on their profile page there isn't a single game of chess - just fora they have started).

What are you doing back posting here Stig!

Did they forgive you? Smile

I would have kept you banned seeing as you 'block' anybody who disagrees with your own dogma.

(Lack of capacity to debate)

What's ironic is that his post here is completely irrelevant, which was the main thing he banned people for.

netzach

Irrelevant...

Helpful and nice?

Well, whatever all this is about, it was probably before my time on this site so it's all going over my head. ;)

netzach

Sorry... Smile

That's ok, most things go over my head, I'm only about 5 foot 3. ;)

netzach

If one is doing a random search of member names, it is clear that the vast majority of members have the same "last online" date as their "member since" date.  Such accounts are 90% of the total registered.

balraven5 it is sort of a double edge sword, glad you used " a forum"  for this topic and not being distracted by a chess match or a least not so much you could not post your thoughts.
