They included Russ and Chris, some test accounts created by them to test their programming, and some of their local friends.
(I don't know for sure, but I suspect I was the first non-UK member to open an account here.)
If anyone wants to take a look at the early days of RHP, this link will give you a peek at RHP when it was very new.
Some of the links still may work, such as the forum link. It's nothing like what we now have. There is a time-graph at the top of the page where you can click and see some of the evolution of RHP.
Happy Browsing!

< edit > There used to be RHP meet-ups for members to get together for some fun and games. They were held in England, Ireland, and one or two in the US. Here is a link to some pictures taken for these meet-ups. There were pictures of the US meet-ups too, but I have not found them yet. I think there were two of them, held in Maine.

I had a look at a page from 2015 which is one of the few still available, and I saw some douchebag called @redbadger grinding your gears and calling you “pompous”.
@great-big-stees saidFunny how everyone knew Ironman was cheating, he had an incredible record, many games with only one or two losses, but it took them forever to remove him.
I played Ironman a couple of times, before he/she was “dropped” I think I may have put up a good fight in the first game and lost the second in...two moves? It wasn’t too long thereafter that they...left.π²π
@dood111 saidFunny how they don’t “get rid” of players whose records are in the reverse...kinda like mine.π€π

@divegeester saidI don't remember having any interaction with that member at all and can't think of what that might have even been about. I guess I must have missed it.

I'm about 99% quiet and peaceful here. π
@mwmiller saidI would actually give you 100% quiet and peaceful.

I've only been here since late 2006 but in that time up to now have never seen you start anything with anyone.
Even when I tried giving you a hard time back some years ago. You are probably one of the most respected people on this site.
Of course I don't go into all the forums. π
