"What will you personally miss the most...?"
What will you personally miss the most when the 'inexorable grind' of the clock prevents you from accessing your chess games, the public and private clubs and clan forums or replying to personal messages from your friends on Red Hot Pawn? I for one will miss conversation with my trusted global friends when that day inevitably comes as it has already for my dear departed friends: @Mathurine: “Last moved 1437 days 1 hour and 8 minutes ago.”; @Kings-and-Pawns: “Last moved 1169 days 19 hours and 32 minutes ago.”; @DanTriola: “Last moved 609 days 2 hours and 44 minutes ago.”; and most recently @mikelom: “Last moved 95 days 8 hours and 6 minutes ago.”.

Good answer. At the last moment will you decide to take it with you, kiss it goodbye or say, "Good Riddance"?

So. I've been back here for a week after several years away. It's clear that RHP no longer has the most active chess and chess-related forums, although its also clear that they have some of the same posters chanting the same mantra they were chanting when I left.

Any insights on the underlying reasons for this unfortunate change?

Originally posted by Grampy BobbyI think that active forums require a critical mass of users and that the emergence of a new site in 2007 had drawn enough players away by 2009 that this other site became the most active.

However, some topics are able to be discussed openly here that are forbidden at that other site. RHP has its strengths.
