Our Founding Father - OzChess

**Axiom** · 04-20-2010, 05:42 PM

I would like to dedicate this thread to someone we all know . Someone who just quietly goes about his business , always with a friendly smiley face , and a kind word for the average punter . Someone , who i know will probably be embarrassed by this tribute due to his excessive humbleness .
But ladies and gentlemen , we are talking about our creator here . He that created the very forum we enjoy today !
I'm talking about none other than OUR FOUNDING FATHER -JUST2GOOD !

So i thought the following was a worthy doff of the cap in recognition to the big man upstairs .

Our founding father,
Whose art made heaven
Hello-ed in thy names
Thy forum come
Thy will be done
On ozchess as it isn't with Kevin .

Axiom,

Firstly, let me say that OzChess would be nothing without our members and elected moderators.

Secondly, OzChess was not my idea alone, I consulted Matt Sweeney extensively on the subject (as we wanted to create something more user friendly and respectable than the jihad uber chess forum). Ironically, Kevin's ridiculous remark on TCG (yes, I know, which one of his several ridiculous remarks am I referring to?) really spun me into action. The next thing I knew, OzChess was born and my wallet was about $500 lighter. Since then OzChess has seen many bright and joyful days.

I am not entirely sure whether OzChess is needed, is useful, or if its presence leeches support from the other board (leading to two mediocre forums instead of one excellent forum). But all of that aside, the fact is, we exist free and strong. We are the brave, we are the many, we are the one!

3 Cheers for OzChess!!!

Hear Hear! I would like to second everything Ax said. Thankyou he who was formerly known as AO.

Our founding father,
Whose art made heaven
Hello-ed in thy names
Thy forum come
Thy will be done
