I totally agree! To find a site this feature rich is a rare commodity indeed. I have all but abadoned the other chess websites I have paid memberships with.
You are not alone in the wilderness on this one

thanks guys!
I had paid membership on two other sites. about the only advantage to one of them was seeing live relay of GM games from Corus and other major tournaments. hmmmm erik, is that an idea for here??? live relay of the games when several or more of the top 100 GMs in the world are competing in major events? and allow those watching to chatter in a chat window that just posts one line of chat without a separate box ?? see chesslive.com for what I mean on that. One other feature I like there: analysis board, can make squares flash in color, and can put green lines on the board - to show intended moves - when working online with students. those are the features I really like there....
and yes, my membership there will lapse and not be renewed since this site provides so much more in all other respects.
Regards,
Ret

yeah... i've heard that before.... 
only 22 have contributed to become members. I have been around the server chess block and nothing this good comes free ladies and gentleman. 30$ a year equals 12 cents a day and even less if you have euros, pounds, punts! Just food for thought considering the alternatives from other sites! Call me John in the wilderness!!
