Special Announcement and New ARC 5.0 Stuff

♪ Happy b-day to me ♪

♪ Happy b-day to...

okay, enough of the song and dance. You all know we just want the cake! I'm currently celebrating what they call "Sweet Sixteen".  I'm not like regular teenagers. I asked all my friends and fam for just money so I can save up for an iZotope Ozone 7. 

Other than being the center of attention (which I love), I have come up with a new feature for the ARC. We've never done something like this so we'll just have to wait and see how it goes...

Despite the lame title, I think it'll be very cool. Everyone, starting from now, has 2 weeks to publicly display their talent for the ARC. It could be a poem, photography you did, a Vimeo vid, etc. Basically anything you want, I just want you to consider it to be your gift. To remove all prejudice between members, once you have your masterpiece complete, you will PM (private message) me with it here: https://www.chess.com/home/send_message?id=9727336 I will then upload your creation to the soon-to-be-made, pinned ARC Talent Show forum saying "Made by: 'Anonymous'". November 30th is your deadline to submit. I cannot stress enough how important it is that you submit an original creation of your's, not something taken from google. Names and judge's ratings will not be displayed until after November 30th. You may only submit 1 creation, not multiple and hope for the best.  

Enjoy and good luck!
