I welcome all pawn here - without them, many knights/rooks would not be here, and there would also be a limited option for people to play games against. Should Pawns get more "extra's"... My answers is no. (I think they should fix the "one tournament at a time" so they don't have to wait for other slow players, but I don't think they should get "more" then they have now - just fixed)

Should Pawn get less then they have now? Well I would not like to see that, but that would be something Fencer would have to decide. If it would help the server & money situation, well I would support what ever he did. IYT had to lower what the non-paid members had, and a lot of people got upset over that... and I'm sure something similar would happen here IF that were to happen here. But it's Fencer's site and he should keep trying whatever he needs to do to make this the site he would like to see! :-)

Someone also mentioned the idea of after 3 months, "downgrade" pawns to less. That's sounds good on paper, but I think many would just start creating new accounts every 3 months to get around it.
