i could go on, but the best of cc is what we all think it is. hell, some like macer and kaynight.

i feel poorly for the site i once knew. there is no denying that changes have affected some where they might not want to log in, and, i'm one of them. i used to anticipate coming to cc to see what others have written. in the past few years, i come to the site and, if i have no games where it's my move, i move on.

the social aspect of this site seems to have become drivel that kids eat up. 

This is very dippressing. :( I hope they're doing well.

I miss a bunch of those folks, and then some. But we struggle on from day to day with who we have to work with.

That's the truth, the inevitable bitter truth...

Are you seriously depressd you don't see the same screen names on your screen? I would imagine most of these trolls have only returned as something else, bringing the same tired ideals to these fora. 

Kaynight seems to to be the only one sane enough (did I just say that?) to spend half a decade here with no break. 

I've been here much longer than kaynight.  Just saying.

Much longer but less than half the points. Not much to brag about. 

if one has a life, it could be.

then there's also the quality vs. quantity aspect.

Less is more

WIth 8,149 new members in the last 24 hrs we are gaining members faster then ever. Some of those that left could indeed be back with a different account name. New accounts are hard to track but chess.com does a great work in this area  I always hope members that have left will return. Cheers

"With 8,149 new members....new accounts are hard to track"

huh? 

I don't need as many prizes, as Forsyth would  say.
