How long has Chess.com been around?

How long has chess.com been around?  I remember about a year ago googling "Chess" and this site did not come up.

Since the beginning of time....Ok, not that long. I believe Erik created the site in May of 2007.

can I be naive enough to ask who Eric is?

  Well someone should tell Erik he is a genius this site is great.

ChefSDB
I agree.  This site rocks!  Eric, show yourself; take a bow!

Erik surrounds us, penetrates us, and binds the site together.

erik is the god of chess.com

Loomis, is erik a god?  or a God?

Erik is the "Big Boss", he created and owns the site, he is also very good at chess, challenge him and you will find out.

i'm not a genius, or a god. just a dude who likes chess and can build websites :)

Hmmmmmmmmmmm.  Eric sure has a lot of points.  Coincidence?  I think not! 

Eric, this truly is a great site!  Thanks for the opportunity to play here.

 Loomis thinks he's God


Loomis
I've never made a claim like that.
ChefSDB

Loomis, do  you know Erik?

 

Loomis
No, I've never met him.
ChefSDB

Loomis, do you know Reserve Monkey?  He seems to think you think you're God.

Loomis
Heh, no, don't know him. And I don't know what his problem is either. If he'd like to tell me, I'm happy to listen.

I find the comments made about Loomis by Reservesmonkey quite bizarre.  Maybe Loomis actually does know him, but since RMonkey never gives his location he doesn't realise it.  Keep us posted if this strangeness is reolved!
