I am merely testing the waters to see what your opinion is with regards to RHP being
down.
I mean, we're paying for a service, that service being a functioning chess site.
Now if that service isn't available we shouldn't have to pay for those days.
Does anyone agree?
Granted it's not much money...it's more of the principle.
To my knowledge ...[text shortened]... ly be driven half way to Vegas.
I'm sure you get the message.
Do the right thing.

Let's just say that less than 37% of all the chess playing fiends are paying the monthly or yearly dues.
Let's multiply the yearly cost times the number of subscribers:
What is it??? 30 bucks a year or something... X's 35,000 people.
That's over one million dollars. Every year.
By god you're right. The man's a freaking millionaire. I bet the infrastructure to run this site and all the time that gets put into it costs nothing as well. That's just pure profit. These gready capitalist scum sit atop their ivory towers coining in their wealth, showing no regard for the common man.
The site struggles under the weight of its user numbers - do they care? No, they sit and count their coins rather than fixing it.
The masses clammor for a new feature on the site, but do these rich men listen? Why no, the site has not been worked on since it was opened, it's seen no improvement at all.
Why even the service that they use to collect all their ill-gotten gains, they must be gang of indentured servants dragging in this tax on the users for nothing lest the favour of their masters.

Congrats to you buddy.
I was stating the opposite of an intended meaning to merely mock this absurd situation.
It was fun. No, really, it was.
I got the reaction I wanted, now I can go back to my regular programming and do it again
for a living.
Mr. Mist,
Care for a game of chess?

maybe you need to watch a bit more news, you know, killings, rape, starvation in the world and stop being so petty about 15p... if it means that much to you i send it to you, and because of the exchange rate, that means you'll make around 30c just for posting a thread....
