Request: Lichess should add bughouse and 4 player chess. (Already created but put here instead.

This is why some people like chess.com, since lichess does not have these variants.
Also more Sub-forums will help, as chess.com has a lot,
I prefer Lichess because of the communication services here, and i am happy its totally free, Patrons also should have some advantage, like a exclusive variant for patrons.
Please reply, @Lichess and moderators. THX

" Lichess is built for the love of chess.
We believe every chess player deserves the best, and so:

all features are free for everybody, forever! "
...so patron will never get something extra apart from the symbol! Also, mods have pings off so it won’t affect them anyways.

lichess is free forever.. So no patron will get a exclusive benefit. That ruins the idea of "non-profit"

I'd enjoy bughouse.. but I don't think 4 player chess is useful.

Also DO NOT ping the mods.. I have pinged people like Andrew Tang and got very hateful replies.. So i stopped pinging people.
Also, no new variants will be added because not enough people would play so its not worth it.
At least it's not worth all the complexity it causes. Dealing with the existing variants in all new features or changes is already more than annoying enough. Bughouse would be way worse since it's a completely different setup with multiple boards etc.
If patrons had some added benefits then Lichess wouldn't be totally free. It would be like any other commercial site with "premium features". Thankfully that will never happen. You donate because you want to support the site and you want every Lichess member to benefit from it equally.

Not all moderators have pings off. Ping them at your own risk.
