No, I don't have a big problem with it. It is just where you so rarely post and it appears it is mostly for a potshot at me, I was just wondering why, as we have had no words with each other.

Perhaps trying to be part of the group, as it looks like a popular thing to do, I could see that. I was only asking why is all.

Don't you think I was being light hearted with my GET RID OF THE CLIQUES? I mean seriously, it is a chess site with forums, you are going to have the little cliques, nothing can seriously be done about it.

Really?

How would you ever get rid of cliques on a chess site this size?

I thought it was rather obvious it was said in Jest, especially when I added "Seriously", under to give my real views.

You could get rid of all the clan/clubs, and you would still have the cliques.

Boo hoo. Make friends instead of burning bridges... and for God's sake quit crying.

Who is crying? Only crying I saw here was you when Darvlay left.

I have my friends on here, because you don't happen to be one of them, isn't really that important is it?

Yea, I got that!

DID YOU?

Thanks for rec'ing the potshot at me, if it was you, I am sure CFT would have no idea who the other rec was from.... 😉

Of course it was a joke, same as it meant to Phlabs as a joke.

I am too serious, I joke....then I am asked is it a joke?

Like a big catch 22, just can't win.

I am sure neither of you would be in the habit of rec'ing potshots at a user!

I am right about that?

If I owned this site.....
1. Change my name to Russ
2. Engage in extensive cosmetic surgery to look like Carrot Top, in an effort to consumate my internet crush on Raven
3. Continue my status as a non-sub scum forum lurker

This is great.

I'd instigate spot FEN changes at random, have a user voting system for who to crown tard of the week and then allow that person to choose one user to forum ban for that week. I'd reward forum amusement with the ability to delete another user's games/pieces or posts for a limited time and I'd keep a hall of fame for the best at using whatever chaotic tools I gave everyone with which to screw each other over. Then each month I would give out subscriptions in exchange for remarkable pieces of art, poetry, music, writing or social commentary. Finally I would close the site after 5 years by booting everyone without warning.
