A reading from the gospel, according to the Moderator.

The Moderator was walking by the river one day
and a great crowd gathered about him.

Master, they cried. How long more can we endure the suffering
of bullying and chess engines? When shall ye strike the wicked
and cast them out of our mid ...[text shortened]... minated.
His rating shall soar into the heavens and after 42 months
he shall be a Moderator.
brilliant!

A reading from the first letter of the Moderator to non subs.

Praise be to Russ and the holy temple of RHP.
Yea though I walk through the valley of chess engines,
I shall fear no evil for I have memorized the holy
writings of the prophet Greenpawn and the skill of
Morphy and Fischer are with me.

I shall cast out the wicked and denounce them
from the Holy places. Many are called but few
have answered and there are still unbelievers
among you who have not shared their wealth
with the Holy Temple of RHP.

These non subs walk among us and enjoy
the wisdom and the spirit but yet still set
their faces against full baptism.

Truly I say to you ye shall not enjoy the fruits
of RHP lest ye be baptized and be born again
to walk in the paths of rooks and bishops.

Come to the Holy river of Alekhine and be
baptized to take your place as a true deciple
of RHP. Only then shall ye have the power
to bless more players and cast out the demons
which flash upon your page.

The Book of Chesspraxis tells us,
Walk in the paths of Coquette, Sasquatch
and Ketchuplover and find true peace and
righteousness.

May the peace of our Lord Russ and the wisdom
of the Holy writings of the prophet Greenpawn
be with you,

Amen.

Then why the alleged 'membership drop'?

Chess Format and Enhanced Features offer superior benefit.

Red Hot Pawn Subscription Fee remains an affordable value at $.11/day.

Game Moderation exposure of cheaters, over the long haul, has proven effective.

"119K Members" who've never set foot in a forum... your wager?
.
Over the very long haul. Nobody wants to play here because cheaters don't get banned and the live chess is lightyears behind every other site in existence.

An admin on **e***e*e.com quit that position after the owner refused to kick two players out of a prize tourney for losing on purpose so they could get into a lower rated class of the tourney.

They're now in the same class as me but not my section so far.

Jian Ghomeshi the host of a CBC radio show called "Q" was the moderator of what's called "Canada Reads". It's a yearly contest involving books written by Canadians. They narrow the list down to 5 books and a " Canadian personality" is asked to defend their choice. This years winner was a book called February, a novel based on the sinking of the Ocean Ranger (an Oil Rig) some 30 years ago off the coast of Newfoundland.
