Odd - with Firefox (my default browser) I get the notorious Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server error. With my old IE there is no problem at all.

Hi, I guess it is more about a blocked range of source IP address. Today I have the same 403 forbidden error (from France, whatever browser I use, Firefox or IE9) but using a VPN workaround I can get to Talkchess.

Can't access any longer. Seems that Quentin is blocking IP's once again.

This is not our forum anymore. They block ips. They ban people. Without telling anybody. We only find out by hear said or own experience. But nobody talks about.

I am new to this forum & this is my 1st post. I was a member at talkchess since 2009 & was denied access today no matter what I tried to sign in , which I will never try again. Hope this forum is friendlier. Jjaw

Jjaw, welcome. Use Opera, it has a free VPN connection and your Talkchess problems are over. The reason for the denial of access over there is that the site frequently is under attack of hackers.

Somebody insulted me as „vollidiot“ in CCC, i complained to the mods that this is an insult but nothing happens. I guess the moderators are blocked too. The forum is complete crap. One could post death threads or children pornography and no mods would delete the shit because the mods are blocked like all the others. Insane situation.

I am not roman. German. But vollidiot is an insult in german. And the fact he wrote in in french is not changing the facts.

I think the election has to be postponed and the entire process started again if/when we have a working forum.
In other words the current mod team gets to stay the mod team for life.

Talkchess shows exactly how a corrupt leader reacts when its time to take him down. He uses all methods to stop any democratically processes at all.
Instead comes with: we are doing the best, we are helpless because, we cannot change the situation,
In russia, in turkey, in china, in any society without democracy, these leaders try to hold their position in power until the end of their dead. Some even try to hold the power and give it to their children.
In germany the CDU , successor of the NSDAP managed with the money out of the Holocaust, stolen from jewish property, to get many governments financed after ww2. The last we remember very good helmut Kohl 16 years, angela Merkel 16 years.
32 years !!!!! Not counted the time before Kohl.
Adenauer e.g. 1949-1957 Erhard 1963-1966 Kiesinger 1966-1969
This gives another 14 years CDU. Kiesinger was NSDAP member.

I agree. The problem is that a forum which largely consists of people insulting each other is not going to attract many thoughtful people.
What kind of people go around hurling insults? According to Psychology Today, "Dark Triad" types - link.

Didn't Chris say he'd written a program to copy the database by trawling through all the messages?
British proverb: "possession is nine tenths of the law": if a clone of Talkchess was made by three of the founders, then it would be the shop that would have to decide what legal action, if any, they were going to take. If they did take legal action, then they would have to show legal reasons for doing so.
