gg battle: a must read

Hey, I wonder if there's some place where all these former members go. Like maybe somewhere trysts and 'poison are hanging out...and goldendog is even now piddling on pdela's shoe.
This Thread knows where all the bones are buried.

This thread has intimidated me from ever starting a new thread of my very own, for fear of all the overwhelming yet assuredly undeserved compliments I might receive. I fear success, you understand.
For almost 84 pages. Yes, 6 years, 3 months, and 11 days, I had been too intimidated by the glow of this illustrious thread. Alas, the duty is upon me to continue this perpetual motion machine of a chess.com forum post for perhaps an hour or two. Thus, here is my contribution, lowly as it is, compared to a matter of unbounded importance - the use of "gg" after the completion of won games. Against every metric imaginable, this thread refuses to be measured; so, the power of this thread is channeled in the continuing posts. Posts by members such as "SonofaBishop67" attach themselves and slowly morph into the thread itself, as a union of two into one.
That is the fate of this post - as it leaves my hands and travels through the internet into your monitor.
This thread killed me so many times I feel like agrajag.
