Hi,
I started playing Bughouse again, on chess.com, and find the community extremely toxic! (Probably a solid 10% of randomized partners are either overtly abusive or actively anti-teamwork in how they communicate. Seems like a small number but I'm autistic and really struggle when exposed with such vitriol.)
I know it's been asked before, but can't find another place to add my voice to the petition.
Not only would it be fun to have Bughouse here but I think it would do great things for chess in general and the community at large to host the game in a place with a significantly healthier emotional environment.
Thank you for your consideration; please note that if there's anything I can do to actively make this happen then consider me volunteered. (My programming skills are lackluster but I know how to string sentences together in english and would be willing to help crowdsource fundraising if that's a potential hurdle...)
(Worth adding I've been around long enough that, even though I can't find a reference to it today, I vaguely recall hearing the last time this was brought up that the issue was server logistics. If that's the case, and if this really is a closed matter, know that, either way, I appreciate your time. Thank you!)
