...but quite frequently i find myself thinking: if one of the rhp sites (e.g. chessatwork or timeforchess) called them 'fora' rather than 'forums', and you had to pay an extra $10 per year to use that version, i totally would. i know 'forums' is perfectly correct, and even if it weren't it would still be a pretty crappy thought, but there it is. (are we still allowed to say 'crappy'?)

Well, I am not sure I'd pay an extra $10 per year for it, but otherwise I am all for it.

I have no idea. According to one of the mods, the only way to find out is trial and error.

We do. 😉 This is obviously one such. 😲 Not to mention Auntie Christs (... apologies Mr.Crow)

Auntie Christ has a forum? Anyway, it's not that the antigrammatists don't have a forum, I just wanted to suggest to rename it to make it antigrammaticaller. The singular form could be forius, although that's almost too grammatical if the plural is forii.

... methinks, perhaps: 'antigrammaticists'? 😕 Where are BowDiddly and ZanthosPMS? 🙄

True, "antigrammatist" might be people who are against letters. They wouldn't need a forum.

makes it sound like a challenge!

now i wonder if the antigrammarians always leave one move unmade so that the screen says '1 games waiting'.

you know, i'm quite ashamed of this thread. i hope it sinks without a trace now.

Unfortunately trial and error doesn't work because the wonderful system here doesn't inform you which word [or even which thread] has got you banned.

True. But at least it's a sure way to get some forum bans.
