(OT) Has the dust settled?

Post by bedouin »

Has the dust settled from all the cloning/strelka/rybka talk? Life goes on you know. There seemed to be not as much interest in the Rybka forum as here. Coming to think of it hardly anyone in the rybka forum batted an eyelid to the issue of the Livingstone Invitational/World Championship yet they made a lot of fuss over the Fide Challenge. A bit self serving you might say? :(

It looks like it will take time for the dust to completely settle, or the winds die down...we had a Category 5 Hurricane over this. It's still pretty breezy and there's lot's of flooding. It may take time for the water to recede before we can rebuild.

Ideally they should have merged all those threads so that one wishing to avoid them could just skip and move to the next topic. Is the phpbb software not capable of this?

Surely you can tell from the discussions going on rather than starting a new thread to ask?

lol, then the wole stuff would starting again. However, nobody here has the power of decision. Only a court could do this. If i'm looking to Harms statements over all, i'm slight starting to think i don't wanna live in a country where he makes the laws. It sounds all a bit crazy for me, it doesn't fit to any logic for me (some parts are ok of course) . I believe my life would be very short in his country of laws. :lol: (its no attack versus harm of course)

Best,
Daniel

I believe this thread was started before the other one. Thursday comes before Friday. Perhaps you had not seen this one? The points raised are still valid. :)

There were plenty of threads discussing the issue. They're not that hard to miss! :P :wink:
No harm done regardless. 8-)

Unless the comments were directly in the threads themselves or in the CTF, there was none in here (I did look but didn't look at any of the strelka/rybka cloning threads). Its nice to have the forum again after that whirlwind.
