Chess Format and Enhanced Features offer superior benefit.
Red Hot Pawn Subscription Fee remains an affordable value at $.11/day.
Game Moderation exposure of cheaters, over the long haul, has proven effective.
"119K Members" who've never set foot in a forum... your wager?

of members do not visit the forums.
I'd be interested to know why the membership has dropped.
If the majority don't go on to the forums
then the bullying figures must be small
on those who do visit the forums.

hence, "119K Members who've never set foot in a forum"...
as to the reason he/she may be alluding to an alleged membership drop, read between the lines of ponderable's post, "you sure do talk about other chess sites a LOT" emphasis mine...
he/she is a plant, a rube, a spy...
sent to sow the seeds of dissension amongst the loyalists...

Originally posted by mwmillerLots of those accounts are moribund.
User ID numbers are well over 700,000 but there is no good way of telling how many of those are still active members, and I'm sure some members have multiple accounts, but still that is a pretty large number of people who have opened an account here.
As for multiple users, well that's against the TOS isn't it?
How do they combat that?
