A grizzly hug is the only one you'll ever get.

Nov-23-25  Gottschalk: <to Webmaster>

Psalm 120

1 I call on the LORD in my distress, and he answers me.

2 Save me, LORD, from lying lips and from deceitful tongues.

3 What will he do to you, and what more besides, you deceitful tongue?

4 He will punish you with a warriorโ€™s sharp arrows, with burning coals of the broom bush.

5 Woe to me that I dwell in Meshek, that I live among the tents of Kedar!

6 Too long have I lived among those who hate peace.

7 I am for peace; but when I speak, they are for war.

Not even a "We saw your post and are working on it"

Total s*****how of a web site. Sell it, the current management is not worthy of running a Chinese laundry or take out food, and I am Chinese.

Disgraceful to the original founders.

Sure.

But can you give an indication why it was occurring (I ran into it more than just the once)?

  MissScarlett: To be fair, the recent changes to the editing features, meet with my approval.
Nov-28-25  stone free or die: High praise indeed from our dear Ms. <Missy>.
Nov-30-25  stone free or die: Today's (11/30/25) pun shows up fine on the game page:

<"Non piรน Andrei, farfallone amoroso">

But the utf-8 handling is butchered on the <CG> homepage as:

<Non piรƒยน Andrei, farfallone amoroso>

Nov-30-25  Rdb: <The Integrity: < Susan Freeman: <Rbd> <te Rdb: And <fsr>, i also very much appreciate the vibe between you and <keypusher> here in this forum ๐Ÿ™ <susan freeman>, please make two politics forum.> If I ever did that,and I mean ever, rest assured nothing would be censored any where and noone would be banned as you previously suggested.> <Susan>, if you would please consider a *Whites Only* forum, I think it would be a fantastic compromise!

This would obviously be an exclusive club, so there should be rules.

1. No jeety, stinky, poopy turds allowed in the forum ๐Ÿ™

2. Serious, substantive and insightful commentary strongly encouraged ๐Ÿ™

3. Absolutely no littering ๐Ÿ™

4. No profanity (that's not censorship - all topics allowed, but this should be a dignified forum that beams excellence, not trash) ๐Ÿ™

5. Posters without good humor strictly forbidden ๐Ÿ™>

What do you think , <Susan freeman> ?

Did you consider this yet ?

  Susan Freeman: <Rbd> What part of <No> don't you understand?
Dec-01-25  Rdb: <Susan Freeman: "What part of 'No' don't you understand?">

I understood every part of "no." However, that was before I explained how it could be an excellent business idea. I thought that once I explained how it could bring millions of dollars in revenue to cg.com, you might change your mind.

The hateful bigotry that <"The Integrity" > regularly expresses in an uncouth, uneducated, and immature manner could attract the 4chan white Christian nationalist crowd if he gets the <"white-only" > politics forum he so rightfully wants. This, in turn, might bring millions of dollars in revenue to cg.com..

That is why I politely requested reconsideration.

Thank you ๐Ÿ™

  Susan Freeman: <Rbd> It is obvious you are not familiar with US laws, and the civil liberties act of 1959. The hair brained idea of a white only forum not only cannot be enforced, but it is illegal. You can politely request for the final time, and please post on my profile page so as not to pollute this forum with what amounts to idle clutter.
Dec-01-25  stone free or die: Can I get an acknowledgement that the utf-8 pun mishandling has at least been noted by an admin?

In the interest of provoking a response(*) -

It looks amateurish seeing a mangled pun on the homepage of the site.

(*) I've noted the problem previously, within the last year at least.

  stevemcd87: <stone free or die: Can I get an acknowledgement that the utf-8 pun mishandling has at least been noted by an admin?>

Yes, it's been noted. We usually fix it manually when it happens. Sorry we didn't get to it yesterday

Dec-01-25  stone free or die: Thanks <stevemcd87> - though I don't think it should require a manual fix.

Seems we did have a previous case, and will inevitably have a subsequent one as well.

Why can't this be handled automatically?

PS- Normally I just assume my posts on bugs are seen, and I'm actually detached enough to not totally care if they're ignored (being happy enough in the reporting effort, I am).

But after a recent posting from another long-time user who I greatly respect - I think we should have an acknowledgement of bug reports.

(I know your job isn't easy...)

  offramp: Are you getting a page prepared for this beautiful match, from Monaco?

<Clash of Generations II>
https://www.monaco-echecs.mc/about-...

3 Dec - 8 Dec

90'/40 moves + 30' + 30'' bonus

Maxime Vachier-Lagrave (34) v Yagiz Kaan Erdogmus (14).

Normally I'd expect the young player to win these generations matches, but here I think MVL will win all the games.

The maintenance is done by a single guy with long hair and glasses and a sandwich and three cans of Red Bull who owns a colossal monitor that takes up a whole desk.
