thanks but anyone can post there not exlusively premium members and also it is tumbleweed city over there.  It is more of a place to ask questions regarding membership as opposed to place where serious paying members can go for consistant discussion.  this site could even limit non premium members to say 5 comments a day much could be done to keep it just about chess, but i think the truth is most people don't want that and prefer a broad community.

Now, why does any topic even mentioning the word troll just once attract trolls? (thinks) Oh yeah, because they're trolls and they ruin things for other people!  Now, if only the staff closed accounts for trolling... or something that would prevent chess.com from becoming a site for spamming the forums.

In other news - famous website chess.com goes bankrupt because it closed 90% of it's accounts. Film at 11.

(Ask yourself - are you in the bottom 10%?)

If you look through the forums once a day, almost every day, you will find a forum that mentions trolls.  What exactly is a troll?  Please do not answer by saying, "a troll is a fairy tale character".

A troll is not in fact a fairy character, but this ugly think that makes you pay to cross a bridge that (s)he claims is his/hers but is in fact not.  They look like this:

Is this thread trying to make me go see the Hobbit the Desolation of Smaug?

+1 my first thought

The Desolation of Smaug does not even have trolls in it... except perhaps Peter Jackson.

Avatar of DelayedResponse

The Desolation of Smaug is good... until the end when the stupid dragon flies out of the mountain to destroy Laketown.  Why end the movie at the particular moment?  Isn't the whole point to KILL the dragon?  Did they do that in this movie? No!

Ok, now I get what a troll is.

For a greater insight of where the term "troll" came from... it's a fishing term. 

Trolling in fishing terms... hanging bait off the back of a boat and steering the boat in random directions, hoping some fish will bite. 

Trolling in internet terms... hanging your bait (which is usually some ignorant or offensive comment) in a forum and hoping someone someone gets upset or begins an argument. 

If you're a fish, or a person... just don't take the bait :)
