Your parents are probably right. This is not an approprate site for a minor. Maybe you could talk them in to letting you subscribe to ICC.

I don't think you need to worry about that...

Send him a game! Invite him back! He's older now and can probably afford his own subscription! (Heck, he may even have grandchildren!)

His parents probably looked into the site, saw what goes on here and used the parental block to keep him from coming back.

Good for them!

How you doing Reader?

I'm really sorry about your Grandmother.

I remember when my Grandfather died. I really admired him. Hardly a day goes by that I don't remember him fondly. My wife and I just had a son. We named him after my grandfather.

Your parents are probably right. I let my son subscribe, and now he's dealing drugs, stealing cars, and holding up liquor stores (when he's not in juvie). Hardly a night goes by without a gunfight on the front lawn, or a cat fight between all the skanky ho's.

Chess is evil.

Sounds like your parents have their heads screwed on right. Do what they say, having more than six games going isn't neccessary anyway.

It is your fault. He probably flunked his Sat's.😞 I bet he is grounded.

No, they eventually looked at it and bought a subscription for him. Since then he's no longer a minor, and he left the site on his own.

PS: Stop making assumptions; I'm starting to feel embarrassed for you.

It worked for you. Sadly, however, all those head injuries have taken their toll.
