How many members of this forum have you actually met face to face? Members past or present of the computer chess clubs. I am guessing that some of you guys from Europe have met more than I. Vincent has likely met more.
For me the list is (in chronological order):
1) Steve Otto
2) Stefan Meyer-Kahlen
3) Amir Ban
4) Shay B.
5) Remi C.
6) Guy H.
7) James Robertson
8) Erdogan G
9) Gian-Carlo P.
10) Gerd I.
11) Andrew Williams
12) Peter McKenzie
13) Vincent Diepeveen
14) Munjong Kolss
15) Muntsin Kolss
16) Tony van Roon-Werten
17) John Kominek
18) Brian Richardson
19) James Swafford
20) Bob Hyatt
21) Pradu K.
22) Ted Summers
23) Larry Kaufman
If I left anybody out, I apologize. I made the list quickly.

Re: Contest: Most members actually met.
I have only met a handful of CC folks:
Charles Roberson
James Swafford
Bob Hyatt
Pradu Kannan
Ted Summers
and briefly:
Tim Mann
Eugene Nalimov
It seems as though the camaraderie is waning along with CC in general of late. I, for one, would like to get together again in person, if practical.

We all should not support tools that are determined to crack
commercial software.
Kurt
IMO if that would have been supported from 2003 on we had no such split in CC as now. IMO the public demonstration and usage of such tools and then bhy anonymous entities, this gave us the rest.
BTW Kurt is still posting also here on CCC and more so on the German CSS.
May nobody say oh we didnt know it, sorry. There is no such sorry now.

Re: Contest: Most members actually met.
"Tools that crack commercial software" have nothing to do with the ICGA investigation. The term "cracking" is generally used to bypass copy protection and use a program without having bought a legitimate copy. "Cracked" is a common synonym for software distributed as "warez" and such...Rolf wrote:Silvian, in your link I discovered this line:Sylwy wrote:Harvey Williamson wrote:Met him several times but I am pretty sure he is not a member of this forum.Sylwy wrote:

One doesn't need any new tool to look at a binary and investigate the assembly language inside.
