And who is now presuming to give "a small enterprise in the big scheme of things"
business advice regarding "revenue streams rather than 'market share'" ?

Stalking me this morning geester? I hope it's feeding your ego and your need for self validation. You display the same egocentrism as the rest of your friends in that unless you can find a way to put someone down and ignor the topic you don't feel good about yourself. You and your buddies are just a bunch of trolls.

The use of the term "market share" in the context of where it was used is a figure of speech, dipstick.

Surely the discussion divegeester and Grampy Bobby are having is on topic, right?

The question Grampy Bobby hasn't answered is why is it he thinks it is necessary for market share to increase for the forums and chess to continue?

Wrong. Read the OP.

Yet no one has answered any of Bob's questions in the OP. No one is on topic. That's the issue here. Not the obvious attempts to obfuscate the purpose of the questions posed in the OP.

Didn't the author of the OP himself say "And doesn't it seem that we all win when Red Hot Pawn succeeds in winning more market share" ~ and further comments related to that claim ~ on page 2 ?

No. I'm having more fun answering to the trolls. 😉

Doesn't that make you rather hypocritical? Grampy Bobby has raised the issue of the supposed importance of increasing market share. Both divegeester and I have engaged him on this.

Besides, market share of what? Online chess? online gaming generally? The market is so fragmented that referring to market share is only really meaningful on a macro level."

Why is it you think it is necessary for market share to increase for the forums and chess to continue? What would happen ~ to your way of thinking ~ if the market share that RHP has remained as it is?

Unless I'm wrong that wasn't Bob's point in making the reference to "market share", but was intend to mean the increase in interest in RHP by increasing on topic, meaningful and civil discourse within the forums.

Trolls just aren't interested in any of that because it doesn't feed their ego's. Trolls need to belittle and criticize others to validate their existence. GrampyBobby isn't interested in wallowing in the mire like I will. He's interested in meaningful and civil dialog, something trolls hate, therefore their hateful diatribes against him.
