A "rival" site...

turned 15 on 1-12-13

1-12-13 hasn't happened yet in any country outside the US. It makes more sense to use a date-displaying language that your readers understand.

Important about recent changes to the site
Due to a number of security issues, and after the site was hacked a number of times, we've decided to move the website to a new software. That includes mainly the forum and the chess-playing scripts. As it is with all beginnings, we know of problems with the new version, and we're constantly working on improving it.
Regarding the current ongoing chess games:
We're upgrading the games. No data was lost, and in the next few days the chess board will be back, with all of the ongoing games.

It didn't affect the number of people there adversely.
