Lots of respected members are no longer subscribers. 😳 People like:

And many others are no longer subscribing members. Any ideas why?

The benefits of paying aren't that far above the benefits to nonsubs.
I've been rattling this off for a while.
Someone may get a clue at some point.

For me several reasons:

1) I've lost interest in playing much correspondence chess; I'm concentrating on prepping for the New York State Championship OTB Tourney at the end of this month by playing more OTB and timed games. The heavy incidence of cheating on this site by higher ranked players is also a factor; it's a waste of time to play engines if what you want to do is to prepare to play humans - they don't play anything alike;

2) Dissatisfaction with management here. Forum censorship is getting worse and more arbitrary. I also sent some feedback with some small requests that weren't acknowledged (I had lost my password and needed it as I use it for other chess sites which I don't have bookmarked; my request to have it e-mailed to me was ignored).

Don't know if I'd consider myself "respected", though.

Dr Strangelove subbed? Huh, missed out a bit, didn't I?

Oh, and didn't No1 say he wasn't going to re-subscribe when I was a regular?

I was part of the "Sponsor a Non-Pawn Star" program, and left for a fair while due to some medical reasons. I really would like to know who sponsored me in the end, I'd really like to thank them.
