@Erik is the leader of this site.
He runs many other "organizations" and governments behind the cameras. He is the eternal ruler and will always be. He can ban you from the site, steal your credit card information, get your USCF membership cancelled, can give you free money at no cost to him, and he gets to chose the results of all FIDE games played at a top level.
He has many powers beyond our knowledge. It is better if you do not question Erik. Erik is the moderator of moderators.

The name Erick is of English origin. The meaning of Erick is "ruler of all". Erick is generally used as a boy's name. It consists of 5 letters and 2 syllables and is pronounced E-rick.
The given name Eric, Erik, or Erick is derived from the Old Norse name Eiríkr (or Eríkr in Eastern Scandinavia due to monophthongization). The first element, ei-is derived either from the older Proto-Norse *aina(z) meaning "one" or "alone" or from Proto-Norse *aiwa(z) meaning "ever" or "eternal". The second element-ríkr derives either from *rík(a)z meaning "ruler" or "prince"

Your simplicity is principally compounded.
There's an article about this somewhere, by the man himself (I think). I think it was about the domain name or something.
How it was bought in the year 2000 or something.
And what their dreams were(are) for this site. Something about a cafe too, I think.
Lol, oh, that's where it was. Always check the 'about' page to learn about this stuff. They might be kind enough to tell you the details of ownership, key members, etc.
