Nothing like physical pain to take away the mental pain.

Nothing like physical pain to take away the mental pain.
And nothing like mental pain to take away physical pain. It's a never ending cycle, isn't it?

No it isn’t because death takes away both.

Wrong it’s 90% we are 5% extra if the rest runs out.

A cycle of just 2 things. A bicycle.

Agreed, it’s becoming more like the local zoo here ! 🙀
But the zoo at least involved the community and managed expectations.
Yes and the animals in the zoo are much more civilised than the creatures running it!

It's not pleasant for me to make such a list, but here are some ideas that may be in Erik's mind when thinking of the forums...
- The forums don't make the site money (compare to features like puzzle rush or events with GMs)
- The mods don't cost anything, they're volunteers.
- Less than 1% of the people who use chess.com participate in the forums
So it's little wonder why turmoil (if it exists) in this community and/or among its moderators barely registers, if it all, with executives.
They've actually admitted as much. The bunny's just being bone headed bringing this up.
But at least some of the mods love the forums, @batgirl, probably being the foremost of them.
Did your spouse vote for trump?

In the end the mods bear the brunt
