After I did not renew my premium membership I noticed my archive of games was deleted. Seeing as PGN files are only 1kb in size even having 100 or 500 games should be no problem to have on a server, as most hard drives come cheap with some ranging over 10TB in size. Clearly this is a message by the capricious scoundrels who manage the site. Give us your hard-earned money or we will delete any remembrance of how you climbed the rank of your score, over the years.
This is not only a problem on this site, but how the entire cloud operates. Welcome to "the future" of technology. Clearly it's not just the software that is able to checkmate so swiftly, but the human operators behind them who will stick their claws into you at every chance they get.
That is just too funny to let you delete. The capricious scoundrels may even want to respond.

Thanks for preserving this. It's pretty funny indeed.
