  Susan Freeman: <CIO> if it were in the red it would not be here.

I think I need to announce my position for all to understand:

I do not consider this *my site*

it is my son's site and I am a fiduciary.
I do not take a salary. and I never will.

not a cent

I run it in his honour.

It is an act of love.
I pay my wonderful employees all I can afford. based on the memberships.

I may own this site on paper, but it is still Daniel's site, and I run it.

what he took in salary I pay my employees.
Just to make things clear.

  Susan Freeman: I mean it is legally my site, but I consider it still Daniel's. I own it on paper but not in spirit.
Feb-16-21  George Wallace: <susan: I own it on paper but not in spirit.>

After a rocky transition and a few necessary changes, I think you have now successfully preserved the true spirit of this website.

I don't know about the rest of the world, but us patriotic Americans appreciate the <free speech> part of it.

It's very American.

  Williebob: Low priority request: Mark Dvoretzky should be Searchable; last name search doesn't appear to work, though he does appear in the Player Directory (deservedly so). Thank you, CG!

  Check It Out: <Susan Freeman> That's a good song.

Thank you for your response. Chessgame's services have been rocky of late and your reassurances are valuable.

I do hope that the future will bring needed improvements, to first bring the site back up to where Daniel had it, and then to make it even better. The potential is great.

  Tabanus: Who's getting paid for uploading the games of Opera Euro Rapid (2021)?

  jessicafischerqueen:

<Williebob> Mark Dvoretzky is available on search.

Maybe the admins saw your post and sorted this, but there is another possibility that I ran in to years ago.

When you searched <Dvoretzky>, did you enter the name in the search bar at the very top of the page?

That particular bar will miss thousands of names.

The main search bar is what you want- every single name in the database will be found here.

There are two boxes directly below the top search box- they have white and black options if you are searching for a particular game between two particular people.

But if you're just looking for one person, you can put the name in either box and if it's in our database it will guaranteed find the player.

<Susan Freeman> What about hiring <Tabanus> to be the new game upload Czar?

It's a serious suggestion- he has had his finger on that pulse for decades now.

Feb-18-21  Z legend 000000101: What's this #fakenews about Free Speech on <CG>?

I'm being harassed, pure and simple.

<Susan> don't care though.

  MissScarlett: < What about hiring <Tabanus> to be the new game upload Czar?>

User: TheFocus has a motto: <Never give away for free what someone else will pay you for.>

By the same token, why pay for what someone else will do for free?

Feb-18-21  George Wallace: I have an improvement suggestion. It's small potatoes, but it matters.

When we delete a post, we should be automatically redirected to the page we were on, rather than left in limbo with a link that says, "return to forum".

We should automatically return to that forum. One less click = better user experience.

  Tabanus: No thanks. I already have an underpaid full-time uploader job.

  jessicafischerqueen:

I still cannot do any meaningful work, because the main search bar returns only "SERVER TEMPORARILY OVERLOADED."

May I please have an estimate as to when this will be fixed.

In addition, the piece movement on Olga now stutters. Something new, never saw that before.

Soon. Hope this helps.

Well yes. Yes it does as a matter of fact.

Feb-19-21  thegoodanarchist: I prefer "very soon", but this gives me the opportunity to practice patience.

Why don't you try seeking God?

  Willber G: Is there a particular one you recommend?
Feb-19-21  Sokrates: The god of pettiness, hypocrazy, fanatism and stupidity seems to rule over a large part of the world. Can't remember his name, though.
