why do you write these things, and come to that read them in the first place ? i mean i do believe that i had a reason to start this topic, however misguided that reason may seem to you. Could you even explain why you are reading it, and telling other folk to get a radiogram, for instance. It seems to me you could benefit from watching either a football match, or a couple of episodes of big brother - anyone who says to you that they think you are lucid, watch out, they most definitely want something- lucidity is rarely that popular

@ctome3 You must think I'm stupid. I do understand now that you and others have explained that it's now converted from an acronym to a word, but I still don't understand how it can be plural. Whether it means something is interesting, or fun, or rational, or hilarious, I still don't understand how it can be plural. 'Interestings', 'funs', 'rationals', and 'hilariouses' all make no sense at all. What on earth is the 's' at the end for?

I saw a computer bleed once. It was one of the most disturbing experiences of my life.

I don't think you're stupid, but 'interesting', 'fun', 'rational' and 'hilarious' are all adjectives. Of course they make no sense as plurals. Are you saying that we can't have laughs? Or snickers? Or guffaws? Do those not make any sense as plurals either?
A "lol" is a type of laugh. an out-loud laugh (although we generally exaggerate when we write it).
I was too focussed on the last part of it being 'loud' which is why my examples are adjectives too. So what you're saying is that 'lols' now really means 'laughs'? Coz if that's all it is, then I understand now!
Please say it's that... :)
gooses..?? That works. "I gooses her here everyday"
It even works if you've had too much to drink; "Guess who I gooses?"
All non-paying members are trolls; every last one of them trying to get something for nothing.

Something for nothing! what is the matter with you cats, everytime you look at an advert you are paying, you have just swapped the way you are creating revenue stream for chess.com, by swapping looking at adverts, for paying a yearly fee. The point is i too can pay for a hundred memberships, but wont, because I would want my money paid to them, used differently, consumer power, rather than consumer illiteracy - all we are asking, is that they use the same more succesful model, such as twitter or facebook, adverts are fine, just not inappropriately placed (aural) ones, in the midst of bullet games.
Every gold, platinum & diamond member is part of a "cell". We're gonna take over when V3 is implimented. You with us??

You've posted about this before, haven't you? Or is this the same thread?
I think I recall that you've already reported this to the Support - have the replied? It may take them some time to track it down and then a further amount of time to organise the cessation of such.
It doesn't help when you're being provocative by claiming it is an "unfair advantage" to paying members - it's not like chess.com deliberately procure aural advertisements to handicap non-paying members.
I do agree that the suggestion to turn off the sound is not helpful - I mostly play bullet, and I find the sound of the opponent's move helpful. It's also where the distraction of an ad has a greater impact because, well, you've only got a minute anyway.
It should be pointed out that this whole topic is a mistake. What i really wated to say, was has anyone else noticed how many more Norwegians are playing on chess.com now that their winter has cut daylight back to four out of every twenty four hours. Then i was overtaken by an abberant thought, about how much more fun it would be to wind up kaynight et al, with more nonsense about the evils of aural adverising - apologies - yes i'm a bleeding computer, as in my computer gently weeps. Meaning the tory member for East Dorset was correct all along to blame the Beatles for everything
Chess.com is a great chess site and a successful one, but:
1). how many people use twitter?
2). how many people use facebook?
3). how many people use chess.com?
But perhaps I'm just wrong and a business model that suits one size of business will work just fine for another of a radically different size... 
Lol -> lul; lols -> luls; lolz -> lulz.
Lulz is the one good reason to do anything, from trolling to rape. After every action taken, you must make the epilogic dubious disclaimer: "I did it for the lulz".
This has been pioneered by encyclopedia dramatica, famous for posting a fake craigslist add and then listing the personal info of those who responded.
