1) Your RHP Profile Forum Posts: 397 Pages x 15 = [b]5,955 Posts since December 29, 2014 with none before..
2) My RHP Profile Forum Posts: 354 x 15 = 5,310 Posts since December 28, 2014 with none before.
Footnote: The date we joined Red Hot Pawn is totally irrelevant as the point of reference and/or denominator to determine average post ...[text shortened]... stimulate discussion on its topic not to rant about perceptions which are not grounded in fact..[/b]
They are not "archived". Learn to use the date filter, it's not difficult.
You have approx 2500 pages of posts, I have approx 1500.
"Axe to grind"
If you don't want a fair exchange of ideas I suggest you start a blog.
Originally posted by moonbusInteresting. Though "who posted the most" is irrelevant, post volume recognition may motivate more postings by present and new [subscriber and non-subscriber] public forum contributors. I'm hopeful that Russ will clarify these questions soon. As always, thanks for you substantive insights.
Russ no doubt has hit counters embedded in the code and server statistics to present to his advertisers and potential advertisers. Neither he nor his advertisers will need to know, or be interested in, who posted the most. More relevant would be, who logged on most often, namely, who probably saw the adverts most often--and this applies only to non-subscribers, since subs don't see adverts anyway.
Question: Wouldn't a positive synergy likely develop when subscriber threads are successful and attract increased non-subscriber participation?

The idea that anyone should get some award for posting in the forums is daft
From what I have seen in most of the forums is that any topic descends into two or three people throwing insults at each other
I used to look in all the different forums but now just check up on the site ideas
Out of curiosity, have you created many public forum threads which attracted interest since becoming an RHP Member?

Originally posted by Grampy BobbyYou are labouring under two misapprehensions:
padger, what are your own ideas of ways to optimize Red Hot Pawn Revenues during 2016?
Also, what changes would motivate you to post frequently to these public forums?
1) that is of interest to, and the responsibility of, RHP members to consern themselves with Russ' income streams
2) that the number of posts/threads made in the forums has any bearing on your misapprehension #1 I.e. RHP income.
I hope Russ treats this stuff with the contempt it deserves.
This is a chess site, pure and simple. It needs to be maintained so that it functions correctly and any problems are fixed promptly. If extra programming is done it should be to benefit the whole membership of chess-players, not just the odd few percent who visit a forum.
And my opinion is just as valid as that of someone who swamps the forums with stuff that nobody else wants to read. It's just my opinion.

Our individual frames of reference provide the perspectives with which we view challenges and opportunities whether our own or those of others in our periphery a) vertically top down or bottom up; b) diagonally or horizontally or c) globally. "Red Hot Pawn's Hall of Fame" attempts to simultaneously view this website from the perspective of its sole proprietor as well as of its members. Its interlocking premise is simply that there's a harmony between what's good for Russ and what's good for us which are ultimately one and the same. Without Russ we wouldn't be here; without members, neither would he. The original post was written with this dual need fulfillment in view. Specifically, to invite suggestions which might be mutually beneficial if implemented in 2016.
You may say: "I hope Russ treats this stuff with the contempt it deserves." That's your prerogative. I for one prefer to take Russ at his word when he created a public forum titled "Site Ideas." which is the context of this thread. For now, let's just be thankful for the opportunity of being here. -Bob
