This site's playing interface isn't up to par, but the forums are more interesting than most.

You should change 'these sites' to 'this site'. I do play chess on the other chess sites that I frequent.

Just out of interest, what is so bad about the playing interface? Don't you like any of the board or piece designs? Or is it something else, such as not liking the procedure for making moves?

I'm sure Russ would want to know why some people regard playing chess on his site as such an unpleasant experience!

The interface lacks the option of drag-n-drop piece movement. Only click-move is possible.

And that is too difficult for a smart person like you?

Do you know of a way of allowing drag and drop selection without requiring Flash, Java or something similar?

No. My corr. site of choice uses Javascript.

However, one thing is for sure, the site wouldn't exist without people subscribing. I'm sure that it couldn't survive on the revenue from advertising alone

Wrong. It started out without paid subscriptions, and it could continue that way, if the site owner so chose. There is another corr. chess site that offers far more features for free than RHP, and it is still alive and kicking.

Not really wanting to bring up this difference of opinion up from earlier in the thread, but after clicking on a star recently, I saw this message...

Quoting Russ:

If you like playing chess at 'Red Hot Pawn', please consider becoming a subscriber. The 'Red Hot Pawn' community depends on subscribers for its continued existence and improvement...
...by becoming a subscriber, you become a trusted member of this site

Well, there it is in black and white: RHP dependant on subscriptions for it's continued existence. Sure, it started out without subs, but do you still believe that this and other correspondance sites could continue to survive on advertising revenue alone?

Sure; just get rid of those pesky, bandwidth-hogging features given to subscribers.
