Re: Webzine down
I was just wondering that myself. It's been down for some time now, and that fact didn't go unnoticed by chesstalkers.
Communication is a serious issue at all levels of the CFC. I don't see any notice or explanation to members about what the problem is or when it is expected to be fixed.
Can somebody at the CFC please say something ? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't see any communication from CFC executive or staff on either the website of public discussion board. An apology and/or explanation to the membership would seem appropriate.

Incidentally--the appearance and timing of Kevin Spraggett's blog. Kevin is a competitive guy (in the nicest way, of course), and I bet he was seeing if one person could do a better website than the CFC, stripped down to its still pretty considerable resources. Round 1 and Round 2 clearly go to Kevin. You might even call it a TKO victory, as CFC hasn't appeared for this round. Under new FIDE rules, we have a new web champion--Kevin Spraggett!

Re: Webzine down
In case anyone thinks I have a special "in" with the CFC, I was trying to get something posted on the webzine, hence the email from the office.
Basic HTML is easy enough. Making the webzine do clever things is more difficult. I think we should start with the basics, and add features.

Apparently the CFC would like everyone to: Please notify the System Administrator --- no address given. Incidentally, what is the address of the CFC these days?
In other words --- help!

Re: Webzine down
I got my chess magazine from the Canadian Correspondence Chess Association today. It came in the mail.
A chess magazine is still alive and well in Canada. You just have to join the right chess organization to get one.

But taking away the webzine does not come as a punishment. In fact , this most recent decision comes as a tremendous favour to its members -- abolishing the eye-straining, twisting, turning, dead-end rubbish. ( my opinion - sorry )
The Canadian Correspondence Chess Association is an excellent option ! We all need to read quality chess material produced in a tidy and concise format for a change.

Jonathan Berry wrote above "we have a new web champion--Kevin Spraggett!". I disagree. The signal (i.e., chess content)-to-noise ratio is very low for the Kevin's blog.
