I am really glad I signed up at this site years ago. There are so many positives worthy of mention such as: the user isn’t inundated with pop up ads like other web sites, they don’t try to sell you things constantly (I’m sure there is a section for this but I have never seen it or it’s not in their main page), they don’t over-police the chat during games especially and leave the auto mod on for profanity etc, they value all titles players (not just IMs and GMs), I feel more connected with the chess community than I do on other chess sites. Thanks guys I’ve had nothing but positive experiences here!

You do have to wonder where the OP's username came from...
You've probably heard the stories.
If you place a frog in water and slowly heat it up, the frog can't tell, even after it gets so hot that they die.

I haven't read it either.
I've also never killed a frog... stepped on a few accidentally while walking my dog... they're surprisingly stationary. You can poke them with your foot and they'll ignore it... so I've always wondered just how close I am to killing them whenever they jump and hit my leg trying not to get stepped on... I mean, was it under my shoe? Did it react that fast?

I'll never leave until I stop loving Chess.com...
Which may have already happened, but I'm not quite sure yet...

Becoming a titled player at all is an enormous achievement that only a tiny fraction of chess players will ever accomplish so I would hope all titled players are valued everywhere.
In any case, I appreciate the positive vibes you're sending out.

And don't forget / Think about all the work and/or efforts they put here (tactics, puzzles, etc.).

Well I've been here less than three months having decided to play chess again after many years and I think it is superb. Even what you can access for free is excellent. So far I'm in a second month of diamond membership I've not yet paid for. I'll certainly buy membership when it runs out.
