Bullying on Chess Chat - OzChess

I cannot believe all the back and forth snipping at one another. Anyone, apart from myself, who has ever posted in this thread needs to get a life!

Thanks for the suggestion but I do have a life

Naturally you don't count as someone who has ever posted in this thread because? If you don't want to get involved then... Don't... Your useless whinge at "anyone who has ever posted in this thread" is completely unnecessary and I cant see what you were trying to acheive from that useless post.
Thanks

Please don't let the door hit you on your way out. Also, when you crawl back to Chess Chat can you please ask Kevin why he is being so petty and childish? Please let me explain.

You see Kevin has been continually crowing ever since this forum opened that Chess Chat (aka the swamp due to all the reptiles that reside there) was technologically superior to OzChess because it had a pgn viewer and we did not.

Now that we have a far superior pgn viewer, Kevin has become childish and petty and has not even said congratulations (probably because he is too busy begging the CC administrator to spend a whole day upgrading Chess Chat's pgn viewer in the misguided hope that they could accomplish an integration like we have - never mind the fact the first 2 programmers I hired couldn't get it done). Anyway, I think this tells volumes about his character and lack of sportsmanship.

So as you head back to the swamp, please remember that OzChess is now technically superior to Chess Chat in every conceivable way. Notably:

Our Chess Viewer is far superior to the swamp's, and is easier for users to upload their games;

Our smilies are more readily accessible under posts instead of to the side of posts (like at CC);

We have better and more tags which posters can use, ie. highlight tags and 2 types of spoiler tags to choose from;

We are kicking ass in terms of SEO compared to the swamp;

Our shoutbox has a private conversation function, search facility, and allows different fonts, sizes, colours, and smilies (CC's doesn't do any of that); and

We operate on a higher, more advanced, version of VBulletin.

Anyway, see you later Saragossa

So What? If OzChess (ie. the Toolbox in Kevin's description) gets spammed with Info-War links, what business is that of Kevin Bonham?

I agree, but this was so self evident it didn't really need to be stated so clearly. Axiom is one of their few remaining targets now that Matt, myself, MOZ, Phild707 and Firegoat7 left that poorly moderated site. Occasionally antichrist can be found in the swamp where he is often unreasonably dispatched as well.

Lastly, I see Kevin has made a post on CC about paid posters making posts on OzChess as though there is something sordid or sinister about it. I freely admit that I have have done so, particularly in the early days of OzChess. Its a well recognized method of building momentum that forum owners often employ for new start up forums. In the end, however, I found that the cost benefit analysis didn't make it worthwhile for a niche forum like OzChess to use paid posters (with that niche being limited to Australian chess). So I ultimately came to the conclusion that paid posting is more helpful to general discussion forums, and not niche ones. As such there haven't been any paid posters on OzChess for quite sometime.

Best Regards,

AO

ps- I also pay my mod install guy to install stuff on OzChess

I wonder if Kevin thinks that's a big dirty secret as well

You have to pay people to post here?
That's pretty pathetic!

I do paid posting once in a while, but not here. I don't think its pathetic at all. In life there is a market for ju8st about everything.
