[Nixy]

Hi Nixy! What happened to that cute little doggie you used to have for a sig?

Ah, he's living over at Xibase...not so many people to step on his little tail over there

 

[kuulani]

hi montezuma

*wonders if i mention the name "dart", if he'll pop up too

 

[MrBishop]

Perhaps somebody can fill me in on what happened? <edit> I think I know now. As I see it: migration from jjr to OTC because of financial trouble, eventually leading to jjr closure. Correct me if I'm wrong </edit>

And of course hi to everybody here that doesn't know me. And to everybody that does.

It was a bit more than just a financial thing..but kind of an attitude thing, from what I understand. This place and Xibase got most members...OTC got the most after a while.

BTW...heyas, and welcome back

They money isn't why people migrated to here and a few other sites. But it's true that it got shut down because he ran out of people to pay for the site for him.

 

[montezuma]

Think I get the feeling. I found some threads here referring to that time, one of which.... well, let's say it left something te be desired in the choosing of words. Think I can imagine what happened, more or less, combining that with the info from Bishop and Inkara.

Well, OK, think I'll check in here then, every now and then.

 

[AlladinSane]

Welcome back, huh, whatever...

 

[Stop Laughing]

Holy cow, hey monty! Yeah, I did remember afterwards that Huge posted those diagrams, I had to seek that thread out since the game took place before I was at JJR's, but I read that entire thread being a bit of a chess fan.

I'd like to see you incorporate chess into your lunch. Don't forget the Grey Pou-pawn mustard.

Ever go back and look at some of your own posts, and crack up at one of your own jokes you'd forgotten about?

 

[Stop Laughing]

No, of course not. I remember all of my jokes.

If anyone's up for a game, I'm in. I used to be better than I am now; got tired of Fritz wiping my ass all the time...
