do you think that is what russ intended?
maybe he did it to keep the peace?
Of course not, empovsun. This General Forum is Home Base for many, if not most all, active site posters. In any realm, people eventually go where what they're in need of and looking for can be found (with the least inconvenience and hassle).

Originally posted by empovsun... grand slam homers in the bottom of the 9th with 2 outs and a full count, regular homers, triple, doubles, singles, sacrifice flys, walks, hit batters, pinch hitters and runners, strikeouts, rain delays and ejections for poor sportsmanship.... yep, Russ & Chris arranged the site in such a way that this forum has been the epicenter of Red Hot Pawn since 2001. all other forums are attached by an invisible umbilical cord; private clubs and clans are satellites in orbits of their own. aren't you glad you joined the finest online correspondence chess/multiple message center site opportunity in the known world? i am. (gb)
so all the homers are made here? 😀

How many are yours? Maybe 39 or 40?
anyway, gb's policy in such arcane matters is, 'what's his is yours'.

The forum interface could do with a revamp. Although Russ & Co. may prefer users to be playing chess rather than using forums too much, and the servers could (dunno) be put under more strain by an improved interface. Youtube embedding, or at least clickable web links would be nice.
