Steven,
thank you for the excellent service that you and Tim Mirabile and the Gang have
provided to us, for free.

If, in the future, free Computer Chess Club is not an option then my vote is for
"D".

"C"-Mandatory membership payment will open the gates for the users to tell you
how they want you to run your site. Just look at the opinions of those who want
to control your actions and decisions based on the imaginary future payment that
they might have to make. It is beyond belief. While I understand their
argumentation for eliminating CTF, I can not understand the ultimatum style that
they are using to convince you of closing off CTF. This being the case if you go
with "C" people would bitch and moan more than you can imagine, because they are
now paying something. Further more the logistics of handling the monetary
transactions and rules will occupy a considerable amount of your time. Keeping
track of who has paid, refunds, expiration dates, .... endless money handling
problems.

You have provided a free service to all of us for all of these years and I
wonder how many would be capable of doing the same for you; contribute whatever
they can afford (or are willing to afford) to help you out in keeping this place
alive, without at the same time telling you how you should live your life or run
your business.

Deepest Regards,
Hristo
