computeropponen: Well, but let's have a look at the number of users at the chinese chess rating list. There are only 64 players at the established rating list at the moment. (That is only about 10% of the number of chess or backgammon players.) And how many of this small amount of users do really read the discussion board? I would guess only 1/3 does. So there are only about 20 users on this board who reads this. And not everyone wants to write something here or has something to say to share with other people about chinese chess or about your posts about chinese chess. That could be one reason for the "silence" at this board.
