Would'nt you all agree that the simplest solution is to place the topic in the tournament section and make it "sticky"?

No we would not all agree.
Computerchess is about us, the customers, the programmers , the testers.
We are all ONE community and don't want to be moved into a subforum in a basement of an empty house on alpha Centauri.

I guess most founding fathers of talk chess see it this way.
At least the postings of Ed Schroeder and bob Hyatt and me seem to speak the same wish.


How can we convince the moderators.

Whether a thread in a forum section the intended readers never visit is sticky or not is totally immaterial. Why do you think it makes any difference whether they do not see it, or do not see it?

That seems the best solution to me, but I don't mind either way and I support what the moderators decide to do. It just isn't that important to get worked up about.

No, I don't agree. First, some rarely visit the tournament section. Second, stickies are unpleasant. When I am not logged in, the default format is "thread view", and stickies are plain pain. Second, it's not clear at a glance whether a new post was written, as stickies do not float, that's why they are "sticky".

We did have the WC in Beijing in 2008. We did work our way through the entire Chinese menu in the hotel.

They are allowed to post. There is some old stuff in this thread. New moderators will be in place by the end of the week and all will allow tournament announcements, like TCEC, here.
