Stan, my inactivity here recently had nothing to do with my regard for this site,which I consider to be 1st class.
Just completing another site's championship final rd.and dealing with the loss of my dog has had me tied up in knots but leaving Stan's never entered what's left of my mind.
Thanks for all the great work(to Savin,also)and...with you for the duration,David

[Stan Steliga]

Thanks David

Stan,

Please keep going the very good work.

I enjoy a lot and with me 95 percent of the subscribers and the nonsubscribers(please become one and profit of the many extra's).
Those who attacking constantly better have a consult with a Med. Psychiatrist and leave this site and let us play in peace.
If you are making some sort of work/sports of attacking good old Stan - is including us - realise that it shows your own personality wich is poor and very less social.

Stan just let them talk rubbish: we do know better and kick these nerds out of this site.
I am very proud to be a member and a Stans chess master and i hope i can and stay be one untill you close your own chess site. Untill then i will be one of your chess members.
Kind regards in friendship. Natacha

Yes - that's right - the next time I run a big archive, the comments will be lost. I don't know when I will do the next archive. I didn't archive any games for about 7 years before that last archive, so it might be a while. As long as I have the disk space for it I want to keep the stuff for everyone.

I should know this, but I wonder if comments can be stored in a PGN? Maybe I will look into that and make it so that the comments are saved in the PGN when subscribers games are archived.

Stan:
FYI - You can simply put comments in Parenthesis after the move in a pgn file to have them pop up when viewing a game on winboard or other viewers.

This site isnt getting any better Stan. You need to piss or get off the pot.

The site remains a good place to play corespondance chess. I commend Stan on his many hours of time in maintaining this site. Many players remain here; I'm playing about 50 of them right now!

Thanks to Stan, the site's still here. Hooray!
