Hello Christopher,

thanks for your very interesting report...
You know so many things of CSS for someone who is not interested in the CSS
Forum ;-).


>The CSS forum delete people who don't like ChessBase. They just switch off
>passwords when they feel like it.
Wrong, we switch off users who are not willing to follow the terms for the usage
of the forum. Nothing else.

>
>The CSS don't have a membership, just bad attitudes that would make most normal
>people shudder.
Well I can't see the problem, if we're aware of a good behaviour between our
readers. Of course these with bad attitudes are shuddered. ;-)


>
>Then again we don't expect much more from a forum that is subliminally supported >by ChessBase.

Blabla with no fact at all. I'm very interested to hear from you in which case
the CSS Forum is supported by Chessbase.

>
>They would deny it, but most in here know it.
Of course, because you just dreamed it.

>
>The CSS is where the narrow minded live.
Yeah, CSS is 22 years old, not bad for some narrow minded guys...

>That is why they cannot sell their magazine anymore. ChessBase and the CSS make a good couple, both going down the pan fast.

No facts, just bla bla


>That is why they have a new forum which no one visits.
Wrong, the main forum is still the CSS Forum for some technical reasons.
We will switch to the new forum next year. Till then, the old CSS Forum is still
alive. So just again bla bla with no background knowledge.

>The CSS is and always has been, dictated by money. It is a company after all.
Yes, we've have to make money to pay our authors. Do you really think,
that people like Jeff Sonas, Dr. Chrilly Donninger, Prof. Dr. Altenhöfer, Arno
Nickel, Dr. Frank Schubert, FM Dr. Martin Fierz and so on, are writing articles
for nothing ???

>A bad attempt to make money it seems, because not many buy the online magazine.
Good to know that you're so detailed informed. Just a question, where is our
breakeven. Hope you can help me out with your knowledge.


>
>Imagine......a German speaking Computer Chess forum with next to no Germans
>Programmers in it.

Wrong...
There are many german speaking programmers there, for example:
Chrilly Donninger (Hydra)
Kai Skibbe (Anaconda)
Dieter Bürßner (Yace)
Stefan Zipproth (Aristarch)
Reinhard Scharnagl (Smirf)
Daniel Mehrmann (Homer)
Thomas Gaksch (Toga)


Just an advice, I think you've enough work with you homepage, so do not tell any
unproved rumours of things you definitly do not know.

Thanks
Jürgen Ecker
