Subject: Re: Shall we rename CCC to Chess and Computer Chess Club

Go up one level in this thread


I think this would be an excellent idea, but not here. The general chess
newsgroup is filled with as many disruptors and agitators as was RGCC, and an
approach similar to the one taken here (strong moderation, banning repeat
offenders, tight focus) would be very welcome.

But I think another place would be more appropriate, for the same reasons that
the newsgroups are divided. I'm sure many people here don't want to seelengthy
threads on 'Who's better Karpov or Kasparov?', and many others whould would be
interested in such a topic wouldn't be very interested in the detailed mechanics
of hash tables.

Great idea if you can find another host, though!
