Time to immigrate to another forum?

Oh, I don't. Someone in this forum wanted me to buy them out of this mess and I just wanted to make clear that you won't be on the receiving end.

BTW, there already exist plenty of alternative forums. For instance WinBoard forum. Apart from the incessant posting of testers in the tournament section, there is virtually no traffic there. So moving there would not disturb anyone, and there is no one ther to disturb us.

So all air and no beef? And quick to blame others for your failures?

[noobpwnftw]

I don't know, you tell me. Why haven't you conducted that election, these past two years, if you felt we would need a new moderation team so badly? And that is also a question for anyone else twho is so dissatisfied with the eprformance of the current team.

If you are not happy with the charter, then start an effort to change that charter. If a super-majority of the members want to modify the charter, nothing is stopping us from doing that. We could elevate the rule that people should be banned when two (or perhaps three) member request so to law.

Look above, is this another joke?

What? How is me solving their problem relevant to you? Blame who? What failure?

[hgm]

You failed to conduct moderator elections, and it seems you blame me for that there haven't been any.

There are plenty of dead forums.

That's some messed up theory, according to you, I failed to conduct this: https://talkchess.com/forum3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=77712, and I'm somehow responsible for the forum failing and you couldn't be blamed. Enlighten me, do I also own the forum now?

[hgm]

No, but you are a member. And the members are responsible for electing the moderator team. The owner never involved himself with the forum, (and is not expected to), other than running the server that hosts us. The board administrator is responsible for configuring the forum software, and completing the registration of new members.

Sorry hgm but the WB Forum is technically in bad condition. All the extension (which have been implemented with good intentions) have somehow damaged the update mechanism. Olivier and I are wondering that it still works. Olivier decided to leave it as it is.

To use something as alternative to talkchess I'd suggest to create something new. In additon I don't see a way to transfer the database of this forum to the Winboard Forum (and I'm still the admin there).
