but seriously, i was surprised.. chess.com makes good money and why they don't just use professionals i wondered, seems like they need it

I most certainly have to agree, that considering their standing and wealthy as ever they sure should be hiring those that are placing much payed effort to make sure things run wayyy smoother, absolutely. But, at the same time there's a couple decent volunteers, and clearly one's Martin.

That's ok. The bunny has always been an outsider. He's off on topic and off off topic. He's just off. He speaks what remains on his tiny mind unclouded by agenda or allegiance.

I think there would be even more scum and flaming on there

Just the promise of it being a focused discussion-friendly forum for everyone 18+ doesn't sound like it can go well on chess.com

just me though
