Originally posted by luctrucWell, looking at clubs now, I think Russ spent exactly 8 hours (or 0.5 HouRuss, in RHPSpeak) on it.
See last part of long post on page 2 for objections
Thread 89024
For other projects Russ could be spending time on, see the forum threads that keep rising from the dead (games explorer, conditional moves, etc)
Going by the GK experience, nothing much is generated in the way of interest.
I don't think it has detracted any attention away from critical projects or work... It seems he just did it to try and weather the storm created by the cludi/game mods BS and to get a discussion going.
Sure, you are also just discussing it, but I think we need to see where this can lead before just shooting it down before it's had a chance to smell the coffee (black, one sugar).
This site is not GK and it will always be a much more social site. I never spent much time there, because I don't really care about chess too much and overall this site is much more 'community centered' than any games site I've ever joined.
I still stand by my points though. Clubs may/may bot work in the long run, but I will support any feature that will help create or strengthen that 'community' feel here.
It may even generate more subscriptions.
Who knows?
I'm 100% behind the clubs idea and would like to see it develop.
Like Phlabby said earlier - there were many people who felt Clans might detract from this site's purpose as a Chess Site, but it has been a roaring success.
This is even more reason you should never try to compare what we have here to that cheat-ridden, t33n ch@, heap of internet feces that is GameKnot...

How is that related to clubs exactly, sir? I don't understand.
We are talking about clubs which is a totally different feature than clans. Please go back and read the original post that Russ posted, sir.
If you have a good idea like this one, you are free to post in in the Site Ideas forum. I like your idea about the seperate clan forums sir. However, ...[text shortened]... ence and see if this will have any merit to RHP and suggest ideas to improve what it is now?

Russ, why did you have to create such a seperate thing as Clubs?
Why didn't you focus on improving the core feature of this site: Clans..
Originally posted by ArrakisIt's not like Russ is spending his 200% of his energy on clubs and absolutely stopped improving every other aspect of the website.

As he said this is "just an idea that can possibly go to trash bin."
It can evolve or not. It all depends on us.
He did not say nothing about he is not going to improve clan features sir. 😉
About Amsterdamn, he has an anger management problem or something, always negative.
Go back and read the post again. This time I quoted myself:

Anyway, I believe that this is a good feature and I disagree with people opposing the idea. I am glad so many people like this new feature too.
There's nothing to exaggarate though. If this club idea works, it works. If it doesn't work it doesn't work.
Why not have patience and see if this will have any merit to RHP and suggest ideas to improve what it is now?
Originally posted by ArrakisHow does complaining constantly about clubs improve clans? What are the things that need to change about clans? Is Russ missing clan games with all his 8 hours of work on Clubs?

I always assumed that the Site Ideas Forum is a place where users of the site can post ideas that they would like to see implemented..
Many additions / improvements / etc. that have been proposed there have not been implemented (yet).. but then there's suddenly something implemented with the label 'Clubs'.. before this feature was added, I've not seen anybody with a request for such a feature..
I'd like to see that first things are implemented that is asked for, then in a later stage things that might add more fun too..
Of course there is a priority spot reserved for critical maintenance..
EDIT: and yes, many Site Ideas were related to Clans 🙂 And some features that were mentioned to be implemented in the Clubs area, I'd have preferred to see those in the Clans section 🙂
Originally posted by AmsterdamnThis was a perfect time for you to make a list of those features, rather than assure me there are things that have been skipped. I don't know if these are good ideas, bad ideas, or near impossible features to code, or unpopular ideas.

BTW, Russ has had this idea of clubs for about a year and a half. It just wasn't my place to mention them since I found out about them either through feedback or posting in the Game Mod forum.

Originally posted by TheGambit- the amount of people in a particular club?
Does anyone else think there should be a limit on;
- the amount of people in a particular club?
- the number of clubs someone can join?
No, there are 19,000+ people who are currently moving in their games here....plenty to go around.
- the number of clubs someone can join?
Yes, but that's just my opinion.
Originally posted by TheGambitYes and yes.

However the multi option means that people are now in 10 or more clubs.
This I feel will be the downfall and I see clubs being sent to the recycle bin.
