There were some other people who were even more sure that the Game Mods weren't doing much. Look at this person's post from July 10th:
Ah, the good old Chess Mod debate. Alive and kicking? I would have put a lot of effort and resources into this back in Jan/Feb. I had 4 fast PCs, several engines, and some reasonable chess ability on offer ... ...[text shortened]... my breath, though...

I'm not attacking your "I don't care but..." thread or criticising you for what you wrote. Far from it. I supported most of what you said. But you did think nothing was happening, and you were mistaken. Its not a criticsim. Just as I was mistaken in thinking, back July, that Russ had no interest in combatting cheats.
You said the real Gatecrasher had been replaced by a pod. Am I still a pod? ... It's rhetorical, don't answer.
But when you resurrect comments from the past, you must understand that the circumstances that gave rise to those comments may have changed drastically and are no longer relevant to the current debate.

I see now that all my efforts to move the process along were totally unnecessary and if I had had the requiste patience all this would have happened exactly on schedule. I humbly apologize for ever doubting the powers that be here and for creating such a fuss when it, of course, changed nothing. My bad.

No1's forum is there because he held the mistaken belief that nothing was being done to curb cheating at RHP.
