$ 15 to become a RHP member may not be much in the eyes of an American or a European, but for a lot of people in the world $ 15 is a considerable amount of money ...

And yes, you are right IvanHoe. $15 is a lot in some areas. I wasnt thinking to deeply at the time of post.
I apologize to anyone I may have offended with this statement.

russ and chris are just great! They do not want to turn away those who cannot, for whatever reason, justify the membership fee (this may include students who can't afford the fee, kids whose don't have an allowance, or even occasional players who play so rarely they don't feel it appropriate to spend the money).
i think it is fine that people only want to play pawn stars and i think it is fine to not pay until you really are ready to pay. that much is a personal choice.
what is important is that we acknowledge russ and chris for their inclusive spirit that brings the world a little closer together through chess.
in friendship,

We all seem to have wandered off track a bit here. My main gripe was non pawn stars keep accepting open invites clearly titled "Pawn stars only please" If a person cannot afford to pay the $15 thats cool, i dont have a problem with that.
Don't forget about the non star tournament.Don't anyone feel sorry for non pawn stars.How many signed up?

Where did the idea come from that non-paying members do not have the right to complain?
All members have equal access to the forum, and are allowed to express themselves without regard to whether they are a paying or non-paying member. It's been like that for as long as this site offered a forum.

I can see how it was misconstrued by people who do not know me.
Again, I sincerely apologize to the folks I have offended.

Originally posted by PaulieI have tried to set up personal games with members and used their names in the title of the game like "Orky Boy Only Please Unrated Game Good Luck" and such... Next thing you know someone else jumps in.
Why is it that when one puts up an open invite game titled Pawn stars only The response from non Pawn stars is incredable. Maybe it`s me, same thing as the Clan Leader Clash tourney. It`s like READ THE DAMN TITLE 😠Does anybody else get this problem?
I just delete the game if I so desire... or play them if I find them interesting.
Yes, I am sure Many people here don't speak english, and I am proud of the people who have English as a second language.... good for them just to be able to learn a second one... I have enough trouble with the first.

Originally posted by ivanhoeI cannot wholeheartedly agree with you, Ivan. All the flags that I see on this site are American, European, Australian, South African, etc. I don't see any Haitian, Indian (India), Bangladesh, Laotian or many third world countries represented on this site. I could be wrong, ask Royal Chicken. I think if one can afford a computer, one can put up the $15.00. I think a little less spending on cigarettes, booze, chasing poon-tang, CDs and other diversionary crap will allow the average dude, bloke, monsuer, freulein or illegal alien from Mexico to be able to contribute to this site...this is just my humble opinion...have a nice day...Semper Paratus...😵
