I see the completely opposite of what you see. You see that Vas has been treated
badly. I say Vas treated CCC badly for months now and this particular message
was the final blow. Again, the chupe with which Vas exploitated this forum for
his commercial interests is incredible. But everybody has enjoyed the new
program, no doubt. So Vas could continue. But it wasnt kosher all the time. But
the computerchess novelty as such beat all the doubts. Time has passed and in
the meantime Vas has a homepage and a forum on his own. So everything what he
has in mind connected with the marketing and selling of Rybka could be
procedured in these sites. No longer in CCC.

I give you and all other members a simple example what would still be a valuable
topic in CCC. For all not just the users and testers of Rybka.

As we know Vas makes new versions on a weekly basis almost. This causes many
problems for the testers. New questions wait to be handled. Which one is
stronger? How to test it? In a tournament with 10 Rybka entries/ versions and
only one entity of the other programs? And how to evaluate the results?

If Vas had discussed these topics in extenso here in CCC that would have been
very valuable. But what he did was completely different. He smiled a bit,
knowing that such tests are very itchy to say the least. But he avoided to
criticise the tests right out. Why? - Easy. Because all this traffic was
basically holding his program in the news. Not bad for a PR for free in CCC,
where normally advertising is forbidden... Dont forget what Pete described. You
cant almost find any other topic right now in CCC. It's Rybka here Rybka
there...

One could also interprete it this way, that Vas did never feel that he owed
something to the host of this site. He just like sleepwalked with a certainty in
CCC as if he had all the rights to make his business in fishing always new
members (NB all here come through a registration process). And this is weird. In
the perspective of the existence of his own forum. Now it looks as if he was
interested in new customers and nothing else... That forbids ยง 4 of the charter.
