Within this forum, there are presently five "GB" Threads. Three with 120, 83 and 40 posts; two started since August 16, six days ago, with 5 and 2 posts, respectively. My daily participation is unchanged.
GB is now more active in his Club only three threads on the first page list GB as last poster...
Footnote: Since the inception of the Camelot Oasis in Space (private club forum) thirty days ago on July 23, 2013, I've made two hundred and forty six (246) posts to RHP Public Forums. Of the 246 total 78% or one hundred and ninety one (191) posts have been contributed to the RHP General Forum. How does this activity level compare with your own? -Bob

Originally posted by SuzianneSince online correspondence chess sites with a varied selection of public forums depend on revenues from subscriptions and advertising, the volumes of member chess moves and forum posts matter. Red Hot Pawn is a business; numbers and stats have always been and still are the language of business. The RHP General Forum has traditionally contributed significantly to the statistical profiles advertisers analyze before making ad purchase decisions. I happen to care about its recent declined.

Since those verbatim words appear as a top line selection in Google's Menu Listing for "Red Hot Pawn/chess",
perhaps you'd be doing Russ & Chris a favor by providing them with ideas for revised site description text.
* Please note: "The forums are the core of the 'Red Hot Pawn' community... "
not the General Forum per se, though historically it's the most active.

General Forum used to be the most active, but that was before Sports and Science and Culture were spun off into their own forums. Those topics were where most of the activity was, you can see it with the Wayback Machine. As only a small percentage of RHP players have even visited the forums their importance is vastly overrated by forum users.

Originally posted by KewpieThanks for the insight. Debates is lively but with even greater polarity than Spirituality. In Sports, geographic and academic loyalties understandably reign. Science and Culture are well worth the visit, whether or not you're able to contribute (imo).
