Back after 3 years, what changed?

Puzzle storm is a 3min game, you need to solve the maximum if puzzle you can in 3min

Puzzle streak is pretty same, except that there is no time control, you can play longer as you wish

> what are some new settings

you can select from the leaders who can send messages or moderate the team. this prevents team hacks.

> how?

the players' flag is displayed next to their name, and more events can be broadcast, including internal championships which did not have as much visibility as today

that it's more mature is undoubtedly true, even if there are always a lot of young people (I consider myself as old cuz i'm 17).

then there is a wide variety of off-topic topics and some topics are really made for ironic responses or sarcasm, so you will probably see a lot of not serious but funny stuff.

you can still do forum games as long as they follow behavioral etiquette, which most of them do in my opinion. At the moment, the ones that come up often are geography games, or guessing games/starting a word with the last letter of the previous one.
I just got back from a 7 year lichess break, Did anyone on lichess run for president?
