Even if there was no "VR" at the bottom of each post, we'd still be able to work out that they were his.

Cheese is acceptable, but unfortunately, slices/squeezy is not.

You mean the cheeses that have gone missing near Bermuda?

Yes, that's exactly what I meant. Good spot.

Maybe so. But I was referring to Bermuda Rd in Ipswich. I'm not convinced that you were.

I had finished negotiations, then during due diligence, they read your post.

Oh well. Better get back to it.
Remember us when you’re on a beach somewhere spending your big bucks from chess.com 😂

I wouldn’t blame you if you one day sold up but it would be a sad day here.

There really is a good story about those guys and RHP from way, way back. An early CNET interview with their founder using RHP has since been lost to time, unfortunately.

I think RHP will be the only online chess property they don't own soon.

@russ,

If they could actually afford it which is very doubtful, how long do you think it would be before they ruined the name and ran it into the ground? The gooster already said I had a ban and negotiations were not completed. I am willing to bet that people would leave because the gooster and fmf were part owners. 🙂

I dusted out some cobwebs in my memory banks, and seem to remember something about RHP being put on the auction block once, on eBay.

Did that really happen, or did I just imagine it? 🙂 I think Chrismo was involved......

Don't you think that is better talked about in a P.M.?
