When I logged on to chess.com today, as always, I stopped by @erik's page to pay my respects to our Dear Leader.  I was astounded to discover this message:

null

This couldn't be real!  How could this have happened to such a wise and noble leader?  What will the citizens of chess.com do?  Leaderless, we shall all be scattered, and have to go use li... erm... another site!

Then I stumbled across @macer75's page:

null

I don't know how this happened, but somehow macer75 has taken over the site!  No doubt he is indeed a worthy replacement for Erik!  We shall all be spared the awful fate of having to switch to li... err... another site!

Join me in praising our new Dear Leader!

Mace Chess.com Great Again!

This is what happens when you make photoshop available to everyone.

 The awkward thing is that Erik's background colour is slightly lighter, which makes photoshop a little more complicated.

I must say, banning Erik was not an easy decision. Regardless of events that have transpired in recent times, he did play a seminal role in creating this website, so I went to every length possible to avoid being too harsh on him. But alas, my good will was not reciprocated. It pains me to think that things had to come to this point, but for the future of this site, in the end I did what I had to do.
