RED HOT PAWN IS A NEW SITE RIGHT?

IT SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A NEW SITE BECAUSE THE HIGHEST RATED
PLAYERS ARE AROUND MY LEVEL. THIS SITE HASNT HAD ENOUGH TIME
FOR THE RATING SYSTEM TO REALLY TAKE EFFECT. IS THIS TRUE?

Site's been here more than a year now, my joining date is Feb 2001.

You can check how long an individual player has been here by clicking on their
name. Xenophobe, as the top player, joined 10th November last year.
