Besides that, I am interested in posts about death and birth. Life is bigger as only computerchess.

Best wishes,

What a lot of 'newbies' don't seem to understand is that there are quite a few of us that have been on this forum for well over 5 years and during that time we have become sort of a 'family'. Our main interest is in computer chess but from time to time we also share little tibits of information about our personal lives.

And if that is lost, then the forum loses it's sense of community.

A new nation or a static and dogmatic club ?

Post by Sylwy »

Hello !
New members means new ideas,personalities,customs............So your family becomes a clan ,maybe-in time-a new nation.To accept or not to accept the progress is just your choice.
To rest only a limited and exclusive club means degeneration in time.Lessons are a lot of all around us.
Otherwise posts like "To prospective new members" are absurdities.And not only.........

That post was agreed upon by the previous team of CCC mods (myself, Bob Hyatt and Peter Skinner) after discussion with the website administrator.
The current team of moderators were happy for it to remain.
What has it got to do with frightening off genuine new members?

I think that the way some of us treat new members at times is more of a concern.

This is a forum only in name. In fact it is a club. As in a club, you can meet the people you want, the discussions you delight in, etc. And you can get outside the rooms where other people and discussions, not of your pleasure, are located. It took years to get this kind of place, we are not going to make of it, in retrogression, a boring, barren place just to discuss hash tables.

Hi Fernando !

In democracy the majority rules (in theory at least).What can you do if the people & discussions "outside the rooms" are the majority ?Maybe-a day- they want to close "some rooms" !

My very,very best
