Originally posted by ChessPraxisSo, how did you surgically cull out the fluff to arrive at the crux of the matter?
No, but one of my late friends was a wiz at counting cards in 5 handed poker. 🙂
I am not so much a math person, often you don't need specific numbers to illustrate trends etc.

on another site RHP has gone from 120K members to 40K members and most of those are free. He also stated the reason (for the membership drop) was at least partly due to forum bullying.
The mod is from a site that rhymes with chesssphere.com

That thread title sounds very religious.
A reading from the gospel, according to the Moderator.
The Moderator was walking by the river one day
and a great crowd gathered about him.
Master, they cried. How long more can we endure the suffering
of bullying and chess engines? When shall ye strike the wicked
and cast them out of our midst forever?
And lo, he answered them. The wicked shall be cast out
and given a year long ban from the holy site.
Never in that time to return to the holy places.
We must get more moneychangers into the temple
of RHP so that more prayers will be answered and the
tears of the just shall be dried.
And they said to him:
Master, when shall we see a sign of these great things?
And lo, he replied unto them.
When the great bank balance of RHP has reached it's full glory,
then shall ye see great wonders worked upon the earth.
The just shall be called the Children of Russ
and the wicked shall be cast into the lake of fire
which is called checkmate.
And one woman who was with a child did touch his robe
and he blessed her saying,
Truly I say to you, your child shall be a chess champion
and he shall be a mighty man. He will lay low all his enemies
and become a great chieftain among the illuminated.
His rating shall soar into the heavens and after 42 months
he shall be a Moderator.
