Off topic content has salvaged innumerable threads.

Is this now an official Off Topic thread?  The URL in the browser indicates we're in the "General" forum, but the little navigation guides at the top of the thread indicate it's in the Off Topic forum.  Have the powers-that-be bowed to the irresistible force that is this thread and given it a new home?

Oddly, if you change the URL from .../general/if-you-know/ to .../off-topic/if-you-know, it gives you a "Post deleted" message.

I suppose they have to keep the original assigned URL intact to accomodate any links that had already been published prior to the category switch.

The same applies if the title of the thread gets changed.

Yes, next time we need a thread title that provides a little more direction than "if you know"!


I think the name was meant to be used this way:

"if you know [what the topic is]"

Rather than "sad", I find it quite interesting to see how topics and thought processes wander around. Sometimes it's fun to look at the starting and end (or current) points and wonder how the heck did they ever get from point A to point B.

People would be talking about something, and then out of the blue there would be a post from kurokgug about something completely different and stupid but carefully disguised to seem remotely related to chess and framed as a question to BorgQueen. This is how people get from A to B.

Or, in the case of this topic, from A to 3.

lol... what you want him to quote approximately 1,000 posts??!! 


Every post in this thread has been an essential part of a complicated but beautifully integrated whole. The posters labored for hours to generate the perfect synergy that when tapped, will yield the meaning of strategically position.

Some guy asked a question.  Before he did that, there were only 1179 comments.

EDIT:  Sorry, Kramakintews-- I just saw that you made the same point!

Query google for 'the answer to life the universe and everything' and google points you to this thread.

 

P.S. Are we on the top ten list yet?

Even chess.com is exaggerating how many questions kurokug has asked?

This thread is winnowing the wheat from the chaff on chess.com.

kco

yeah that's right, also could you explain to me what artfizz mean in english ?, I'll await your answer. 

Cystem_Phailure

I think the chaff is all of us who are still here.
