you might need to take it seriously, but the dummy's faces will make you burst from the laughter

I was on chess.com back then, before the empire, before the dark days

I've been on here since about 2008. Different account obviously. But I remember the days when only a few people were online, I also remember when live chat was added and soon after taken away due to... well we all remember why.
