What did i say? Can't remember... Saturday is drink night.
Anyway, doubt this dump will make 13.
Some buildings don't have a 13th floor - maybe this place will go straight to year 14.
HAPPY 12TH BIRTHDAY CHESS.COM

You and I have a major difference. I don't hang out in places I consider dumps.

HAPPY 12TH BIRTHDAY TODAY CHESS.COM 🎂
Today, back in 2007 Chess.com first opened its doors to the public.
Since first celebrating its 100th member it has come on in leaps and bounds.
Its seen Versions 1, 2 and currently 3 added to it, its opened its chess site, chesskid.com specifically for under 16 year olds, its seen both members and staff come and go throughout those 12 years, and now with its many many thousands of current members, its still going strong. (I won't post its exact amount of members, as it will always be disputed and ruin the thread)
It is a very happy day for the site, its members, all of its hard working volunteers and moderators and especially its hard working staff, past and present, many of whom have put in countless hours on a daily basis to make sure the site runs at its best for its much loved and loyal members, both long time like Batgirl (who has added, if you look at her profile, hundreds of excellent, well researched, articulate, knowledgeable articles) to the members who join now on a daily basis.
Even the site owner himself (who is actually far too modest) has written several articles himself (14 of them) about how the site started, its ups and downs to its current day, and has also added videos and interviews where he discusses the site creation, how it all started. Its all worth the time and effort to watch and read
So today, on your 12th year open, I wish you a very happy birthday and much love to all its members and staff - known and unknown to the members (many if whom I've had the privilege of spending years of working alongside and can still call my friend).
HAPPY 12TH BIRTHDAY CHESS.COM, AND MANY MANY MORE!
(aka kohai)
Happy Birthday. Chess.com
Happy birthday To Chess.com

I first came in via the facebook app back in 2009. Only later did I start coming to the site directly, but even then I just played my own games and never touched the forums, the clubs, etc., until today.
But in that time, things have certainly changed.

I was the same. I found the facebook app in 2009, but barely looked at the forums, and didn't join my first club until 2015.
Things have changed a lot. I remember when people using the facebook app were in a separate pool from regular site members, and when the facebook app didn't have live chess.

Not on Facebook...
I've been on Facebook long enough to see them change the interface several times, and the meltdown it caused every time. I wasn't a fan of all the changes, but I somehow managed to survive.
