At least I am not a sad old computer Chess has been who has nothing better to do than troll.
Funny!
Your assumption is unsound, although prevalent here. When a field is finished it is best to exit (early) with as much gold as possible to do other things. The has beens are those that stick around pointlessly in a dying field because they have nowhere else to go.
Lol then I do not count myself in that as in the last 7 days I met the French President (and his wife
![Smile :-)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)
) I also met Sir Geoff Hurst. Not a bad week. Who knows what the next 7 days will bring.
Sadly, the tedious name dropping fails to reflect in your own personality or achievements. Meeting cool people as part of the day job is no substitute for being one yourself.
What have you ever achieved? This year I got an IM title that will be ratified in September. I have won the British Correspondence Chess Championship. I have worked on Sony award winning Radio programmes. I am very happy. Oh and last year Hiarcs was the 1st winner of the Theo van de Storm trophy in Leiden.

Well. I guess a man reaches the age of fifty or so and looks back, either he's made it or he hasn't, by whatever criteria he uses. If you feel you have, well done. For me, love is an important aspect, as are children. Material well being is a great help of course, but not everything.

I have a few years to go to reach 50 but I agree those things are very important also

Most of the people who do have access to the 4-cores do have SIM title. So having access to 8-,16-,64- cores machine and IM title only, is it the achievement, really ?

I understand that forum is open but trolling is forbidden. It seems that you are busy with that.

Now Bankster and Conkie have deleted my CCC Avatar of "The Turk". Does it say somewhere in the CCC Charter that I am not allowed to have an Avatar of "The Turk".
![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
Everyday, it gets more and more ridiculous over there. I suggest that once a new CCC moderation board is elected that we start a new thread at the CCC called:
"The CCC Nuremberg Trials" and get to the bottom of this nonsense, so it does not happen again in the future.
Cordially,
Sean

Do you mean that 800x600 avatar of yours?
![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
I think 80x80 is the accepted though never enforced. Besides, it could just be a broken link.

Nope, I tried uploading another Avatar and it was deleted. My Avatar was not against the CCC Charter or the limits of the forum board. Again, you have a small group of people at CCC making up their own rules!
Cordially,
