Hahaha....this post just makes me laugh because Cheater_1 probably spent hours and hours writing up this "review of his 8 months"....
and for what.....
a couple of negative remarks against him...
Cheater_1 your really living the dream life............
Well I feel kinda weird defending Cheater_1 but I don't think we need to push it by insulting him.

Ahhhh, if only all the others would be so quick to admit their faults, as I do mine, then this site would take one small step out of the quagmire of MEDIOCRITY.
If you admit your errors, where is your admission that you were wrong to question Erik's claim that chess.com is the #1 site on the net?!?! He showed you proof, not just one source, but two valid, respected and uninterested sources.

In case any of you are confused about my choice of pictures, the second picture is of a character named 'The Cheat' from homestarrunner.com.

I have just read every single comment on this and i'v got to say it had me laughing when i saw that cheater_1 did not say "I was wrong" "I admit it" when Erik (legend) showed him proof that chess.com is the number 1 site.

Thanks, Josh! I'll take care of that now.
Better? I could always see it, so I need somebody else to let me know.
Yeah thats it i can see it now.
Good, good.
Yes, I see The Cheat now, hopefully he won't start throwing any "lightswitch raves" :-)
Big kudos to anyone I don't have to explain that one to.

I checked and it's certainly not more popular than Yahoo Chess is. having said that yahoo chess has many unfair advantages over this site. My opinion is that this website kicks glorious ass. I think if cheater 1 spent a few days playing on Yahoo he would eat his words regarding mediocrity. I can only assume that Yahoo has a bigger budget, a bigger staff, and more visitors to lose by being lame and yet they still suck. I love this website and I'm very glad I found it. I think the people here are so much more intelligent and courteous than on other chess sites. I only clicked on this thread thinking that someone would be expressing extreme love for this site only to see someone dogging it. Why dog it on this site. I don't dog Yahoo on Yahoo's site. It's a waste of time and hurts people who have worked very hard to bring you something called joy.

Yahoo.com isn't a chess site. It's an everything site, and my claim was only that Chess.com is the most popular CHESS website. I didn't claim we have the most number of players, the biggest membership, or anything else. I only claimed that each day more people visit Chess.com than any other chess site.
Cheater_1:
You give me a mere 15 minutes to prove I'm right, posting several times as a countdown, and then no admission? Well here's my countdown: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 =>
Looks like you're out for the count. What happened to "I stand corrected. I am a MAN and I admit my ERRORS." ?
intersting.... When cheater makes a rant he stays on for hours defending himself and coming up with witty come back. coming up with another rant maybe?

oh, i'm having too much fun!
just teasing cheater_1. it's all part of the banter, part of the game, right? i might be wrong about chess.com being the most visited chess website each day. but the fact that you threw down the glove and gave me 15 minutes and then walked away... i just can't let that slide without some ribbing :)
