I remember the lanlord of a pub i use for internet access saying
"whats porn doing on our PC. ?
Not that funny. but its ...well...ill shut up.
Originally posted by Freddie2006Mostly true, but I was working as a web developer at the time of the site's creation. I had just had my first child and could no longer go out in the evenings quite like I used to...so it was code this site or watch TV. Well, which would you rather do?

Originally posted by RussI've been meaning to ask... do you often run around in that sexy rhp-shirt of yours or do you just wear that for "special" occasions? 😛
We have always used one flavour or another of Red Hat, yes, but the name is just because once upon a time, believe it or not, we thought it would be a funny name for a chess site.
The site was going to be called "WorldNetPlay" until a name switch at the last moment! Just as well, if you ask me.

Originally posted by Russis there any chance of purchasing one of those big mugs without having a credit card???
I have a small rotation of t-shirts, of which at least 2 are RHP shirts at anyone time. Unfortunately, they are not sexy (surely just the man inside it, right?), but they are often a talking point.

Make some cash and promote the site at the same time.
Originally posted by GENGARI believe it was called red hot pawn, so that clowns like myself would stumble upon it when Googling sex sites.
