< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 225 OF 431 ·  Later Kibitzing> Oct-28-21    MissScarlett: If the four-minute warning sounds, I doubt I'll have the presence of mind to send <Miss Susan> an email. You'll only know I'm gone when Karpov vs Timman, 1988 is <GOTD> again. Oct-28-21    technical draw: I have been on this site for 18 years and I am sure some users have passed without our knowledge. However of those that are known to have died while active members I remember most DomDaniel and tpstar. It is always sad because we all here are "friends" even though we have never met. In case I kick the bucket I have left instructions to my son to inform all my friends (ok, so there's only one) of my passing. Oct-29-21    MissScarlett: I've received the following pun submissions all submitted by User: Messiah <MISS SCARLETT: my account got deactivated, please ask someone to check the> <MISS SCARLETT: mailbox chess@chessgames.com - they don't reply to my e-mails> <MISS SCARLETT: and activation mails don't arrive, either. Thank you.> Terrible! What can it all mean? Oct-29-21    Susan Freeman: <Messiah> you are fixed. Thanks to Steve. Did you try to update your email perhaps. Sorry for the inconvenience Oct-29-21    Colonel Mortimer: <MissScarlett: <What is the mechanic behind the imperative to prematurely announce the passing away of forum members based on rumours?> What's the alternative? Death certificates? Obituaries in the London <Times>?> How about not say anything. Oct-29-21    Messiah: <Susan> & <MissScarlett>, thank you for the help. I changed the e-mail address under my registration, then the account got deactivated, that means I wasn't able to share my important thoughts as kibitzes. When I noticed that the activation e-mail does not arrive, I reverted the e-mail address to the original one, just to learn that activation e-mails do not arrive there either! As it seems my e-mails went straight to the spam folder of CG's contact mailbox, I had no better idea than submitting a cry for help in the pun submission page (different strategies were possible, but this one was the quickest). Once again, thank you for re-activating me, now I can share the usual deep and significant thoughts of mine. Oct-30-21    Susan Freeman: <Messiah> welcome back. ? Oct-30-21    Susan Freeman: The? Was supposed to be a smiley face. Gotta get after the beatgiant Oct-30-21    Z truth 000000001: No ? about it. Oct-30-21    Messiah: I am very ? today. Oct-31-21    OhioChessFan: A Halloween avatar on the homepage would be in order... Oct-31-21    Stonehenge: A photo of Jocelyn Wildenstein will do. Oct-31-21    Diademas: The late Duchess of Alba will also suffice. https://www.thecut.com/2014/11/ode-... Oct-31-21    Z truth 000000001: <OhioChessFan: A Halloween avatar on the homepage would be in order...> That's the kind of little flourish that Daniel enjoyed during so much... The earliest example I could find is from 2005: https://web.archive.org/web/2005103... Oct-31-21    Z truth 000000001: Not sure exactly when, but by 2010 the ghoulish face was replaced by a witch's hat and broom: https://web.archive.org/web/2010103... And then, sadly, with Daniel's passing the Haloween tradition was forgotten (2018-??): https://web.archive.org/web/2018103... Nov-03-21    MissScarlett: I hear on the grapevine that a new staff member may be joining the payroll. <Miss Susan>, what can you tell us? Nov-03-21    diceman: <MissScarlett: I hear on the grapevine> Who knew CG had a grapevine. Nov-03-21    Susan Freeman: Hold your horses, kiddos. Nov-03-21    MissScarlett: Well, who knew <cg> had a Karl Vine? Or indeed a Karl Weinstock? Wait, when was this agreed upon? Has <Tab> gone rogue again? Nov-03-21    Z truth 000000001: Why post that here, <Missy>, instead of over in the Bistro? Maybe you're trying to just Vine 'em up?! Nov-03-21    MissScarlett: Was the upkeep of FIDE Grand Swiss (2021) and FIDE Grand Swiss Women (2021) down to <Stonehenge>? If so, who will fill the breach? With the world championship match only three weeks away, will our - low be it spoken - prospective new team member be on board, oven ready and raring to go? Nov-03-21    MissScarlett: Annie's coming back...is that it? Nov-04-21    Phony Benoni: Today's GOTD, Rybka vs Shredder, 2007, is identical to that of November 2, just as the GOTD for November 3 (Kasparov vs Korchnoi, 1983) repeated that of November 1. Nov-04-21    beatgiant: Yes, I'm still hard at work trying to bring back the smiley faces. Tonight, I made changes to repair the characters for almost all of the user game collections. (My testing showed a small handful that didn't work, and I'll fix those soon.) Nov-04-21    login: Спасибо !
