very interesting. after 4 yrs of no contact with rhp nothing much has changed despite the site upgrades. old players of 2001 have been and gone although there are still some left playing. same old player problems. player ratings are very high. ratings are accumulated over a long time with many games. same old arguments about cheating ect.my biggest thrill on rhp is the fact that a reasonable high rated player offered me 2 games. this was outa respect for some very long and hard games we had yrs ago. ratings wont come into the final endgame. friendship, respect is more important than ratings. most of the oldtimers have been forum bashed. most left because of it. those left still playing ive noticed are still just playing away and are only interested in the game. if they read the forums they must just laugh to themselves. yea been there done that! ironman the top player at the moment is top of rhp. i can remember many who probaly would have beat him but they are gone because of forum bashing.so forum bashing should stop! before good players are lost to the site.
