Where did everyone go?

imho otd will not disappear

imho otd will not disappear

I am not upset if others make posts that I find uninteresting. It's no skin off my nose, and there are plenty of other posts that are interesting.

I don't see any reason for this forum to disappear.

Variety is the spice of life, and we can't all be in the same spot in life. Some are young. Some are not. That's fine.

Indeed, I wish there were more in the world who are young. But America and much of Europe seem to have talked themselves out of having kids, perhaps due to end-of-the-world fantasy or other sad causes.

Life's never been without at least initial struggle. 1930 and the following couple of decades were tough. And don't even get me started about what happened in Europe during the 30 Years War. But life continued on, thankfully.

But it's important to resist calls to tear things down and cancel the expression of others, even if we find their expression silly or annoying.

I've been here for 2 ish years, I wasn't into forums for a bit then started talking more. I then was posting in almost every forum, I knew a lot of the times "famous" people. But I took a break from chess entirely for about half a year dealing with some mental and physical injury's.

So I've just started talking more and saw that the only one that (I remember) was here before was @noflaps (Who is ...

There was one user @hheennrryy that was super nice. He sounded kinda bored tho. His latest activity was losing two correspondence games against me due to time loss. It was only 5 days tho, so I hope he comes back sometime...
