Interesting post, perhaps a bit too sad. I must say that there are a lot of nice people at this site. Of course there are also " The Others " ( be careful of " The Others " lol ).
Thank you badenwurtca, but the "nice" people usually stay away.
Nice plotline! When does the sequel come out? Or is this the storyline for an upcoming anime? Hope it is; I am looking for something new to sink my teeth into!
Interesting thread, and it provoked me to thinking, something must be wrong with me, more than three years here and I haven't started a single thread, hell I felt like an utter failure as a budding troll! :(
But very soon I'll take my revenge! :D
Since I am a nice person, I will point out that someone your age should not be drinking coffee.

Telling everyone and everything that I'm 11 hasn't worked out so well.

Is it true caffeine is a drug? If so you're all drug addics
Your brain cell cannot comprehend more than two syllables, I see.
I am once again underwhelmed by the new standard.
You expect too much and will get disappointed...It is just an internet forum on chess and things related to chess...no more and no less...

Anna, do you put Russian Standard vodka in your morning cereal? OK then :)
What ho!" I said.
"What ho!" said Motty.
"What ho! What ho!"
"What ho! What ho! What ho!"
After that it seemed rather difficult to go on with the conversation.

My comment in my thread:
Congratulations Marco! Nobody does it quite like you!
For that reason I actually propose you make a Marcoxit and leave the trolling hiarchy to form your own path!

I had left for a week to go to an over the board tournament. Ah, when I came back I was full of hope and happiness as I finally got to deal with intelligent people. I thought that, perhaps, there had been a revolution, that there had been a ressurection of intelligence, that we were all saved. I was wrong.
It is interesting - today I saw this meme. Do I count as an idiot? I probably am, I probably am. However, I am intelligent enough to realize that my intelligence, and the general intelligence of the internet is lacking.
For some reason, I find the memes actually carry a point along very well, well enough to be conductive to idiots. But it seems that only idiots use memes...
I am getting worried here. It is as if there has been a blackout of all intelligence on the internet. A blackout, a blackout, a complete loss of the power of humanity! I... I... it makes me cry just to think about it.
But let me go on to a different note: the last existing preservation of intelligence on the internet - where is it? They say that if you seek, you shall find, but what if the thing in question never existed at all? Has real intelligence, and by that I mean a reasonable average standard with an IQ of 100, ever, EVER existed on the internet? Today, we rarely have people with an IQ beyond serious retardation, beyond complete dunderheads with a 29 IQ. Most people here cannot even find the threads they created yesterday.
So sweet it was in yesteryear, when we had activity, intelligence, pure mockery and intelligent arguments! Why has this happened, why the loss of all the intelligent people? I truly believe that once there was intelligence here on the internet. Intelligent Life did exist, not just on earth, but electronically as well. Look at the forums here a few years ago, we had classic threads - classic threads I say! And look at what we have now. I, among others, have brought humour to a new low.
The question is, where has the humour gone? Where has the intelligence gone? Where has everything gone? In these recollections, I intend to investigate this very deeply. So deeply, that I fear that most of you reading this "diary" (can we call it that?) will not understand it. For this reason, I am splitting this into tiny chunks of information that will be understandable for all. Look for the answer in Parts 3, and Part 4.
Farewell for now, and let those kind souls, the overworked moderators who delete so much of the actually non-boring content, not delete this. Thank you for listening.

Today I started my day with a nice cup of coffee and plenty of sarcasm and wit. I hoped it would not be wasted. For the first time in twelve hours, I logged on to my favorite chess site - chess.com.
I thought that the site, with all it's nice people, would provide the answer to my thirst for proper conversation. Interesting conversation, that is. But of course, on the internet, when you seek, you shall not find (here's the proof: google's search engine is just...).
I was disappointed. I started with a thread made by chess.com's newest troll, Anna_kyznestov. I thought: "Blatant idiocy".
I moved on VirtualKnightJoakim's thread complaining about new changes in chess.com groups. I thought: "Am I that hard to please? This is still not what I'm looking for". I mean, I wanted to discuss the problems of the day and then I see complaints about new features on an unimportant website.
I moved on to a thread called Analyze This & That. "Aha!", I thought. I saw a possible feed for my intellect there...but it was soon obvious that this was just for the idea of Chess Oscars and various other awards. Do not get me wrong, it was a good idea - and I give honours to the Original Posted Nikprit, but this was still not what I was looking for.
I moved on to chess.com's groups and teams. I started of by completing administrator duties for "The Ultimate Training Center" and "The King Attackers". I moved on to my group TrollU. I found actual "real" members there, but they were offline.
I created a new thread on Classical Music and Chess. It started out interesting, but ended up just like the meaningless hogwash and drivel that everything seems to be these days.
I checked out the blogs. No, no time to write one. I was falling behind on views, though I always say that quality matters more than quantity. Perhaps tomorrow. It would be a fresh break from what I usually have to deal on here.
Then, I found a report that MarcoBR444, a not-so-humble Level 5 troll had somehow outdone me. My pride was challenged, but I thought it unnecessary to step down and engage with someone who is so lowly he clings to fame as much as he can. I used to admire MarcoBR444, but his arrogance began getting tireful. Perhaps he should see this:
I logged off of chess.com. I decided to think about what moderators would quickly do to this thread. Without doubt, it would be deleted for some reason or other. I do not know why; I am simply being honest here. Perhaps someday, they will tell me why they do this. Maybe it's for money reasons - the more threads they delete, the more pay they get.
Alas, the day comes to an end. Join me in this thread, on my philosophical reminiscence. Thank you chess.com, for another day on this site. Tomorrow, I shall continue my thoughts on what is really happening in the world.
