HA! Bet you thought I was going to say Chess.com.
SOrry, Chess.com, but you are 4th on my list.
But, you are new on the list. There is room for advancement if you work hard and show your dedication to me. You can start by making me supreme MOD and let me use the troll smackin' stick once in a while.
Sorry to necro but what is 3rd?
I've heard peertz & perk but I personally believe peertz is right even though I don't pronounce it like that. I call it the perk.
Same here
