Just a couple of questions re: the new forum

[Larry]

Hello all,
Firstly let me wish the organizers success in this new forum, I hope it
works out well, and contributes to the profitability of the hiarcs project.
A couple of questions:
1. Has this forum come about because of some rumours regarding the
new owner of ICDChess? We discussed this recently on CCC/CTF and
thought perhaps the new owner will sooner or later give us an ultimatum,
ie, pay up or find some other place.
2. Are there any plans to implement a sister forum for off topic posts,
as happened with CCC?
regards
Larry
PS I trust that chess programs other than Hiarcs are not to be treated as
'enemy' programs.
PPS Sorry if any of this has been covered. I have'nt read all the posts
in this forum.

Hi Larry,

Welcome to the forum.

1.This forum is something we have been talking about for the last 6 months or so and finally last weekend we got it up and running. There is no connection with any ultimatum on CCC/CTF.

2. There are no plans at the moment for a CTF type forum although all ideas will be considered.

Posts on all Programs and all aspects of Computer Chess are welcome not just Hiarcs.

Best Wishes,

Harvey
