Alternative ranking table.

Like most like minded chess playing males - I to, am often in need of some light relief between matches.
In order to address this problem I often scroll up and down the user names, finding both originality and humour amongst them.
I would like to nominate my own user name and the user - 'Something witty' as leaders within this field, as its about the only ranking table, I'm ever likely to appear in.
Any thoughts moderator.

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
