Good idea; I was wondering whether anyone had brought up the issue of resignation here, but I guess I can just make a new thread to find out what people think!

LaughingThat was hilarious!

But I have been at Chess.com for over a year(with a little break in between), and had not seen a 'Why aren't women good at chess' thread the whole time! When one popped up, it was dismissed by someone immediately, referring them to the archives. I think making new threads is just fine. The ones who are sick of it can ignore it, or have fun with it.

It's fascinating to discover that the set of behaviours which some people find laudable - others rate as execrable, c.f. 7-deadly-sins

(This applies to site features too.)

"You know, I just can't believe things have gotten so bad on this chess website that there's no way back. I mean, sure, it's messy, it's crowded, it's polluted, and there are people who would just as soon step on your face as look at you. But come on! There's gotta be a few sparks of sweet humanity left in this burned-out bird. We just gotta find a way to mobilize it!" - Ghostbusters  WinkWink
