Chess and the site in general
Posted: Tue Nov 27, 2012 1:03 pm
Hey all
I have been following all the posts and rants and things going on in the forum for a month now...and to be honest, Im worried...
Chess is suppose to be a competitive art, not fighitng, arguing , fights with the admin no matter if correct or not...I know for myself its pretty messed up to see post after post of everything BUT CHESS in a CHESS FORUM?!! WTF
I have met great people on here, and love , totally LOVE the games with trhem! Win lose or draw, we talk, we enjoy we barb and its the BEST feeling ever you all know who u are : )
but I have been, honestly, looking for other sites becasue of the turmoil and discontent in this forum and among players as well...
We dont have to all love the other, get along and have dinner together BUT Chess is a RESPECTFUL game/art so lets SHOW that respect in our games and in forums!
I try and speak and talk to all my opponents, and there are some language barriers and some ppl dont like to talk and thats fine, but i give every1 a chance..and I want to ENJOY the site, the games and the people at this site!
LEts try and look at all this through another perspective, newcomers to this site, they read the forum and id be scared to death! we talk bout weather hockey, political, and other crap thats is SO FAR from CHESS its really kinda sad.1
I know i have tried before to anotate games and share with the forum, but i received NO encouragement or participation, but let someone post a lil funny cartoon or a sport or even and WOW look at all the people that respond and ya im a tad bitter but so what?! I just let it go and dont do any posts anymore, becsause this forum and people dont want to discuss chess...I do have a nice group of 5-8 that message me and encourage but the majority pffft no care at all...
anyhow, bottom line i guess lets HA B FUN enjoy the others posts and barabs NOT get too personal or nasty...it really degreades the site and chases off ppl like me that want a CHESS site, not a Jersey fricking shore fiasco
Hope you all are enjoying your holidays and GOOD CHESS to all of you
