@very-rusty saidWorld domination? One chess site at a time.
No, I got it right your a group who stick together, you are not a movement.
What kind of a successful movement do you think you and your group may accomplish?

@very-rusty saidWho do you think said that first? If a mod can only be one off two, starts with a c or p? True that it was floating around for as long as I was on the site.
That only because you haven't been here long enough when it was used on a regular basis!

@trev33 saidYou have a good memory trev33 it was between the c & p, at least you have the guts to mention it actually happened! It was on going for years as most of us who were here at the time know. Andy could probably name which one it was I am betting! 🙂 We probably will not hear from him on this subject though as he was quite close to the Moderators if memory serves me right. He was one of the few who never had a days ban!

@trev33 saidI just noticed your account says 2008, but you were here before then, that must have been when you come back the second time?

@very-rusty said@trevor33 Nov 2005 joined the site. Long time ago now, probably used non sub scum myself at the start, used to subscribe every year until I got bored with chess.

Of course back then the forums were more than just the same old 10 regular posters or so.
@trev33 saidYes, you were here a year before I was. So you would have been very familiar with the term as it was used before I even got here. I never got called it because I joined up shortly after going through the site, next day I think it was decade and a half ago now.

I do remember all the active Posters back then, but it was like the wild west, but a lot of fun as I recall. I wouldn't have minded being called a non-sub-scum at all, just that I wanted in on joining tournaments and clubs. I was dead against Clans at the time, and was asked for sometime before I actually joined. Now happy I did. You are right we have lost a lot of really good posters from the site. I even miss the ones that would banter with me.

@Ghost-of-a-Duke
goad when you ask someone 3 times to join I would say you are begging, don't give me not remembering you already asked doesn't cut it for me! By the 3rd time of asking the same poster you are begging for sure!

@very-rusty saidNot at all. I rely on my message box to remind me of who I've communicated with. An initial outgoing message however doesn't show unless it is replied to. If HoH had replied to the first message (as he has said he regrets not doing) there wouldn't have been a second invite.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidSo how do you account for 3 invites to the same person? That in my opinion is begging them to join up. We aren't talking about HOH here either as you well know.

(And you seem to be getting your wires crossed).
@ghost-of-a-duke saidI believe it is you with your wires crossed we are talking about FMF and your 3 invites! 🙂

(And you seem to be getting your wires crossed).
Avoiding the questions again I see. I didn't even see HOH's name mentioned unless I missed that part, but what about the 3 invites to others?
Why did Dive leave your club goad? That is the big question here for me.

@phil-a-dork saidInteresting if that is true, so goad actually slipped up there?
It would seem that blood on the tracks is HoH?

7th post down.
He says 3 invites and he never responded but regrets not responding.
Then he is called HoH 🤔
