I started a thread on this subject months ago in the debates forum.
I found it peculiar the most frequent posters rarely if ever made a move.
After a healthy response,I came to the conclusion some people just prefer this site for the forums and thats there perogative.
Personally,I think this is a great site for chess. The best out there, in my opinion.I do these forums when waiting on players to move.
To each his own.

It's a question of time. To remember what was going on in a game, think about the position, analyse moves, etc, can take up to 10 minutes per move per session.

Reading and posting occasionally takes 30 seconds. Also, the forums are a little more work-friendly than a chess board on the screen.

Why?

If you think another chess site is better why don't you post in the forums there?

Or why don't you play here?

So my question is, well maybe it's a statement.

"Since you left? why not stay gone?"
It's simple. I think the RHP has most well organized chess forum. Its vivid, it has nice and simple interface, there is a lot of cool and fun posters here. Some of them have vast chess knowledge. Some other start very interesting topics. The third guy posts a nice puzzle.
Contributions are often and are rarely ignored. Very vibrant community and A LOT of interestring threads. So it's logically that some players keep enjoying these forums even if they don't have the time or motivation to play chess at the moment.

EDIT : I've just read my post. Sorry for my English. It's awful. 😛

some of the very best posters are ones who do not play here, Mad Rook, for example, Fat Lady i dont think plays here but his posts are excellent, Philidor position, even No1 maruader when he keeps his cool, all are most excellent and as far as we are concerned, most welcome!

Because I only use this site for blitz and use a different site for CC. It appears therefor that I am now inactive, but actually far from it

That means I am not going to read your responses.
