@C4LWangA I hope the site continues to grow, too. I think this place is very special and unique, and what thibault and his team have accomplished is extraordinary. They deserve every success and accolade.
I suppose I should have worded my statement clearer that while I hope the site continues to grow, I hope it does so in a sustainable manner. If, for example, the sun rises and all of a sudden lichess has 100x the users it currently I think that'd be pretty disastrous. I don't think the site would have the capacity to serve that many users, and I don't know how easy it would be to scale-up.
But, again, these are idle thoughts, more of a thought experiment than anything else. Let me reiterate my deep admiration and best wishes for the team at lichess.
Frankly, I hope it lasts for another ten years and more because it is rare to have such a valuable and precious commodity given away freely, without any expectation or burden placed on the user.
