its banned as well during school hours

 

in addition, if chess is growing so much then why hasn't Lichess experienced the same growth over the relevant time frame?

Let's organize ourselves and begin demanding that chess.com do somethings to build the Forums up

 

Let's get them to link sponsorships to GMs coming on here to talk to us and share their knowledge

 

let's get chess.com to put some money into promoting the forums ... regular posters should get some free stuff right??!

Great idea!  thats a good start.  I would make the top posters daily a Diamond member for the month.  why not? its' no skin off chess.com 's butttacks 

 

additionally, I would give points to members for posting.  more posts, more points.  free merch like shirts, hats, may be a date with their favorite chess streamer... you know the goods.

Yeah, that sounds great! Maybe points could also be used to buy Premium subscriptions (all tiers)

Chess.com has done a very poor job of promoting the chess forums here

 

We need to organize to start demanding FREE stuff.  rather than Chess.com wasting money and time on worthless things like PogChamps and other worthless endeavors, chess.com should start rewarding us!  

 

Damnit get with it Chess.com

Yeah Forums should get its own button on the side menu rather than it being under the Social category.

If students were playing on chess.com why can't they play between themselves using the app? Or if the cell phones are taken just write out the moves. 

Bro really just said write out the moves

My comment is not one of the daily users of chess.com relative to lichess. Rather one that is addressing the introduction of your comment which was that your school had banned chess.com. From what I can decipher from your poorly written response was that in school it is either do the assignment or play chess. The obvious answer is to do the assignment. Unless your unintelligible response had some other meaning. AND, to comment on the influx of users, chess.com has become incredibly popular due to TikTok and all the lips of Magnus and Hikaru using it. These clips rarely feature lichess, so it is neglected by the rapid stream of new chess players.
