Forum legend

So the bunny scrolls down from the hot topic list to see this list. 

Forum Legend

I mean, who are these people?  The bunny was hoping to see @snakesbelly or someone like that but nothing.  These "people" don't even have accounts here.   

A long time ago we used to have the infamous CPOTM by our @proknight98 dude. 

https://www.chess.com/forum/view/chess-players/chess-player-of-the-month-october-2011?page=16

Those topics used to get locked or deleted owing to the over the top activity in them and then resurfacing somehow.  Of course in those days members used to drop like flies at the hands of the trigger happy mods.  And we'd use to see the likes of @pdela pathetically pleading to be noticed on his wall.

  proKnight, you have to organize a last round of the CPTOM between all the winner to decide the best one

Whatever happened to those glorious times?  Things have changed.   It's a safer but much more sanitized environment where we have kids running around flexing as trolls.  The adult fun component has been sterilized.  And maybe that's good.   Or is it? 

Note to self: never start a topic on a weekend  ...

snakesbelly, ilikeflags, tkbunny, pdela, the tears are welling up just thinking about the golden years of chesscom. it’s sometimes too much to face the cursed earth.

Not so much for me.   I'd go with the senator's list minus tkbunny who was a just bum - I'd know

You're on account # what now?

unless of course you're referring to some serial number chess.com attaches to accounts.  wonder what my number is.

I was looking for mine. Hoped that you would share how to find it if you knew.

I miss kayknight , now there was a forum legend

not too impressed with his one liners either but he never insulted which makes him classy in my books.

So many have.   The bunny has often served as the proverbial scratching post for the community. 

Kay was a she and probably still is...about 67 years old now.. living in a retirement home in Scotland..

I am pleased to announce the formation of the world's first Y10K consulting firm, Oregonpatzer Semperparatus.  I know what you're thinking, Y2K was a bust, and 10K is 8000 years away, but visionary corporate leaders like you weigh costs versus benefits.  8000 years from now, being unprepared for an extra digit in the yearspace could be an extermination event for your company, your job and your reputation.  For a subscription of only one dollar per month, Oregonpatzer Semperparatus and I personally guarantee to protect you from that.  Interested parties message me.

kek

OK,  I meant oh Kay ...

Blunt sings OK but has such an irritating voice

kaynight a legend?

you all must be mad. i would compare this ass-kissing to when o.j. dies and people talk about what a great athlete he was.

don't bury the lead. kay was a troll.

speaking only of those no longer with us...

snakesbelly. 

thegrobe

two just off the top of my head.  

@oinquarki, i did not know him well but what little i saw was amazing for a then teen.

Grobe's gone? rip

i think gop hit on it. what some turds here think is legendary is just a random member posting a lot without saying anything.

keek? really, what was that? some type of mating call? it is as if what some here think is "legend" is simply posting, substance notwithstanding.

how many of you here read rooperi? theoreticalboy? snakes?
