While i agree with you about CTF, then in all fairness, it is meant as a place
for "chess thinkers" to share their views on all topics from chess to whatever.
In other words there is not "on topic" theme, but if you set it up against the
CCC, then why it is even there is beyond me...

I would be more than willing to pay for CCC, but if that included CTF i would
just frequent the winboard forum more often and forget about CCC, not in a
million years would i pay to support CTF.
