So much drama... Let's clear things up! (unbiased explanation of forum elite drama)

Lots of them. Twenty years worth.

The one in which I shared a credit roll with Peter O'Toole, Phyllis Diller, Meghan Followes, Kiefer Sutherland, etc was a Hollywood feature-length cartoon called The Nutcracker Prince.

My favorite was Untalkative Bunny, a series of roughly 200 four-minute shorts.

Here's one:

The bad guy in the cartoon series was a nasty-tempered Blue Emu...

*Might move this to chess.com clubs or community*

Lots of drama, thought I'd clear a few things up for newcomers here... 

This is my unbiased report of what was going on, some behind the scenes stuff too! Enjoy! 

So, a while back, a person named @2ke21-0 made a club called Forum Elite. He promoted @colby-covington to SA, got bored and handed over ownership. Some say Colby demoted then kicked him out, some say he left. (either way 2k isn't in the club anymore.) Whatever happened, @2ke21-0 wanted revenge. He gathered people to get revenge on colby via an organized spam attack. Many people were involved (~20), including but not limited to: 

@Lc0_1 (yes, me.)

@Oka1493

@2Ke21-0

@roger436

(Names reduced to known rebels to protect identities)

The spam attack was stopped before anything could really happen. The 4 of us apologized.

Around this time, a person named @Steven-ODonoghue very much started to dislike the "forum elite." He made a forum called "the biggest jerks on chess.com," which was, of course, an attempt to poke fun at the club. The post went viral, and caused him to get muted for 2 years by head moderator, @david. Whether or not mod bias was involved, the mute was the longest ever to be received by a member on chess.com.

There are rumors circulating, that may or may not be true, including one about @Colby-Covington being @kibidangoman's new alt account. This topic is very murky, and I won't go over it now because this is already a lot, and I think I've said enough.

Just recently, a known and loved member who went by the name of @st0ckfish left. She was being stalked by @decayedspirit, who has been known to harass others. @decayedspirit talks explicitly, often mentioning things against chess.com's Community Policies. He seems to want forgiveness, but as your past often comes to haunt you, he is experiencing some hate from other members.

It is rumored that @st0ckfish's new account is @darkst0ckfishreturns, but this is false. After talking to her personally, she has said it is not her account, probably @decayedsprit's.

Just today, Steven was unmuted. Many members call him a troll, although his actions will soon tell if that is the case. 

Thank you for reading, I know this is a lot and I hope it helps clear some stuff up for new members 

If you're commenting here, and are going to say something mean, please save your hate for better places, like PM's. The comments here are to be civil.

Ha! Yeah right. I was here before the forum elite forum blew up and I am SURE that Colby was NOT KibiDangoman.

She can do whatever the hell she likes. Your not boss of the forums, nor do you have any authority in other members threads.

As a general rule I stay away from members who are a fully grown men with 3 accounts pretending to be young girls and another account with a shirtless male wrestler as the avatar.

Why Don't you all quit all this drama and grow up, . .

This site is supposed to be about chess, remember? . . .

Hahaha +1

Just dropped by to type that Colby Covington is a troll in my opinion and uses a fake picture (and what else he uses probably begins with the letter V) and he loves attention. 

And whoever follows him is bound for outer darkness where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. 

I agree. Everyone just needs to forgive each other and we should pretend this never happened.

Yup

Her new username is @Darkst0ckfishreturns , right?
