We will be 17 years old next month, and some of our players have been with us from the very start. To acknowledge the support of many long term players, an update to player profiles is currently being rolled out (website only) which will show how many consecutive years someone has been playing at RedHotPawn.
Thank you to you all for helping build the RHP community, particularly the 16 year (soon 17 year) veterans!

Hi Russ, there seems to be a glitch in the veteran thingie: New players are shown to have been here more than 100 years 😲 !

Originally posted by @ponderableYes, my error - new users defaulted to 100 years unexpectedly!
Already corrected! Well done!

Originally posted by @coquetteMy sabbatical has done for me - I've been on this site almost as long as you have, but because I stopped playing for just over a year a couple of years ago, I now only have four years on my rosettes 🙁
Dang, found out I'm a nubie

Originally posted by @russNice idea. Is it linked to subscription years or just since joining?

Originally posted by @divegeesterAFAICT it's linked to how long you have been actually making moves, with the count reset when you stop moveing for over a year. Subscription certainly hasn't anything to do with it, because I don't have one; and I joined ten years ago, not four.
Nice idea. Is it linked to subscription years or just since joining?

Yes, how this works currently :
- You have moved in the last 30 days. (If you are inactive, you can move again to restore the award, as long as you satisfy condition below.)
- You have moved in a game that was started in a year.
- Subscriptions not considered.
Also, if if you make move in a game that subsequently gets deleted (abandoned games are sometimes removed if both players are inactive) then it will not qualify. We need to have a record of the moves.
edit : Updated each week, so there will be some lag if you reach a milestone date.

It would be interesting to see a list of the first 50 or 100 members and see how many of them are still actively playing. Or maybe an option to sort all of the members by their userid number.

What about taking it a stage further and creating a veterans tournament for, say the 32 longest active members?
The eventual winner could become rhp veterans champion and have it displayed on his profile.I don't think I'd qualify but I 'd be interested to follow it.
