Some morons who are frustrated chess.com is so "successful". Pretty impressive it has 1000 likes. Maybe they are former banned members. Laughing

"Erik Allebest.... is a religious person and an active mormon!"

YEah, that's credibility.

It appears the page was created by someone who worked there before:

I doubt the page was created by the same person (Pruess).

A lame attempt to stir up an old argument which both Erik and David most likely put behind themselves long ago. Someone is watching too many soap operas.

I think you're right. After reading the blog post, I can see this guy, Preuss, was not being as petty and stupid as the person who created that page.

These are the days of our lives on cc.

one thing have all chess sites in common: their haters who post in the forum of the competitor site why they hate the other site

        That's the 3rd time this week someone has tried to promote that blog page. A member by the name of Saphiresque. He 1st put it in the forum, staff took it down. He put it back up and Erik put it in off-topic. Now this. The dream job blog is 9 yrs old. Disgruntled employee.

       It could of been started by those Appalation Outlaws on the History channel.  That's what happens when you dig for too much gen sengSurprised

u actually posted there 

indeed! A RonaldJosephCote posted in this blog and complained that he reported a porn avatar pic to chess.com stuff and they did say it is not porn..

funny, isn't it? Wink

Avatar of RonaldJosephCote

        What can I say. Chess.com isn't perfect. Mistakes happen. That person with the porn avatar is no longer here.Wink

Avatar of Ferry_Maniac

the site says only 5 % of the chess.com forum content is about chess

that's quite pessimistic view, I would say it is at least 20 %

Avatar of RonaldJosephCote

       There's 24 forums, and 12 are chess related. That's 50%.

It's funny.. the page has a little over 2k likes.. But the most popular city for those likes is Dhaka, Bangladesh... So I guess there's a real anti-chess.com movement developing amongst the folks in Bangladesh.... Well, either that or someone paid for some likes.. It's amazing what you can get for 5$ on the Internet these days :oP
