You currently have 12. I believe that is the limit, but try adding more and I suspect you will get a message telling you what the limit is for a non-subscriber.

It depends on what you mean by "originally".

Originally (for me) everyone was a non-sub because the site was totally free. I think we started without active game limits, but as membership quickly increased, the workload on the server started being a problem so limits were introduced, followed by voluntary financial contributions to upgrade to bigger servers, followed by ...[text shortened]... s varied over the years but I am thinking the first non-sub games limit may have been ten or twelve.

Thank you for clearing that up, I was not correct in my assumption. I thought you could do all those things for free because of your contributions in the beginning of the site.

I have played some new people back years ago and I remember one person asking me if I could move quick because he only had 6 games he could play at one time. I told him sure just to make it unrat ...[text shortened]... most of us here. There are only a handful of you left now I believe of the Original members.

Yes, I have actually seen ALL of the changes. I am the 16th person to open an account here, and my twenty year RHP anniversary will come up in just a few more days.

My first game was the 18th game played here. I also may be the first foreign member (that is, not from England), but I'm not sure on that one. Russ probably knows.
