Hi, cash.... how nice that you're back. I'd be interested in your impressions of what has changed the most.
My beard is much greyer now. Big change.
Many of the people that once were are no longer here. Big change.
I don't know many of the new guys here yet but they still have been on this site for a while. Big change.
The general forum is not quite as active. Big change.
There is a change in a few of the site functions as I recall. Not to big but somewhat.
Chess seems a lot harder for me now. Big change.
Where the heck is Phlabaybut? Big change.
I am sure there is a lot more big changes but lets chew on those for a moment.

The General Forum has undergone a gradual transformation since late 2012. Site's server upgrade and relocation from Virginia to Texas during 2013 has been well received. Site Announcements should provide you with a few details from Russ. Reason for Phlabibit's unexplained sudden disappearance is still a mystery to me. Highly ranked Dan Triola passed away suddenly late 2013. His daughter graciously posted a few details under his nickname.

Thanks Bobby for helping to fill me in on some of the changes. Being that I am from Texas I like the idea of the servers being so close. 🙂
I will check out the site announcements. I always did like and respect Russ for what he and his team has done to build this site among other things. True story. Nothing changed there.
I didn't realize CFT and the hopper was also MIA.
I need to look around a little closer. For anything else please PM me. I don't want to clog the forums with Nostalgia. 🙂 Well maybe a new thread on that would be nice.
RIP Dan Triola.

the site is. Then he slinks away and everything gets better again. He's like a chronic toothache.

Having said that trolling and conflict is no longer going to be a pattern coming from me. I love you all equally or not at all. And for the record I always did like this site and the majority of the people here... especially the silent majority.
