Yeah, lack of education crossed my mind, but chess.com is a wealthy company, they can afford to hire someone who can write English better than an average 15 year old American.

Maybe it's finding them and not the money?

cc doesn't care about how the site functions-as long as they make money.

i remember a time when erik started topics asking what the members wanted, liked, or disliked. those days are long gone.

asking the questions you pose will likely lead to lame responses from mods and zero responses from staff.

When Erik made a sort of... history of chess.com thing on youtube (whatever it was), I was thinking uh-oh. That's his swan song. "I had fun guys, but it's grown beyond me now, and I made my fortune, and I'm not interested anymore."

Probably reading too much into it, but yeah, that was my first impression.

@erik is heavily involved in the site still. However, there are a lot more members, a lot more staff, a lot more products, so being on the forums soliciting feedback isn't something that is going to be manageable with everything else going on.

He still posts at times though.

Not to throw too much shade Al's way, but I 100% don't expect Erik to post on the forums. I have no problem with that. He's a CEO of a large company and that's not an efficient or useful way to do things.

From things I've seen Erik post in the wild from time to time (on other sites) he seems a bit... out of his depth at times. Not to be a jerk, I'm just saying. Ok so he got a business degree and purchased a good URL. Good for him... and I'm SURE like any good businessman he's had many sleepless nights, and 20 hour work days, and a vision for what he wanted the site to be and etc etc. All that stuff.

But eventually it gets too big for you, and you have to let others run the show. Sure you have the final say, but you're little more than a figurehead at some point... is my imagination, which like I said, may be wrong, it's just my impression.

Are you leaving because of bullies?

Bullying? Think you're so cool? The girl you just called fat? She's on a diet. The girl you just called ugly? She spent hours putting on makeup hoping people will like her. The boy you tripped? He is abused at home. See the man with ugly scars? He fought for our country. The guy you made fun of for crying? His mother is dying. Everyone is good looking just the way you are in any race, religion, or culture. Don't let anyone get you down for that mess. Bullying is breaking the law, just don't bully! I may be young, but I can change the world. We all can. Please like this post and say it to everyone if you are against bullying.
