Several years ago, much to the detriment of the forums (imo), the forum search function was vandalised (you know who you are) so you nor I cannot verify this particular memory …
My first ever post here was in the ‘Help Forum’ asking if turning off move notifications was a good idea.
The first reply was from a member called @Trev33, aka @The-only-Mr-T, suggesting I give my opponents my mobile number so they can text me when they’ve moved.
Absolutely true story from 2008.
@diver saidi wrote a thing in the spirituality forum semi-mocking god

this made me smile

Speaking of text messages, WhatsApp is creating a username system so people can text or call and both parties only know the username instead of the actual phone number.
Meaning, people on here could communicate with texts or calls and no worries about giving up any private information.
That would make the debates forum hilarious.
It would also make activities and tournaments here run smoother. Etc.
@chessgirlzzz saidBut alas, you were in a drunken stupor and declared war on Guam.
Ah yes, the memories.
My favorite one is being banned for the first time 20 years ago and declaring war.
@chessgirlzzz saidGreat idea by WhatsApp I think.

We were having a discussion in Spirituality and @KellyJay said that I and some other atheists were denying evidence right in front of our eyes. I pointed out that, just going by what one sees, one would think that the whole universe revolves around the Earth, and that it requires a huge intellectual leap to understand that the Earth goes round the sun, but the moon goes round the Earth, though it looks the same to us in both cases. Just to make sure the point had been received, I asked @KellyJay whether he thought the sun goes round the Earth or the Earth goes round the sun. He answered the former, until @diver called him on it and he retracted. To this day, I still don’t know whether @KellyJay really believes that the Earth goes round the sun.
@chessgirlzzz saidReady to confess yet?
Ah yes, the memories.
