"Snoopy":Why such a hurry? Czuch's interview is not yet posted, and Emma's questions are not yet ready. I think it'll take at least a month. Patience is a virtue
Wooo hoooo! I finally had to use the save message feature. I typed a message and then after typing a lot, something on tv caught my eye. (basketball game) and then I came back to my message but thought I had sent it so I pressed main page!!! Yipes, I lost the message. never fear, I clicked "restore" and BINGO, there was my message.
"Snoopy": "i know i should already know this answer but if you start retirement on a stairs do you go back on to the same stair when your retirement finishes?"
Yes, when you un-retire, you start on the stair where you left off.
Of course if you still had games when you went into retirement, those results will still move you up & down - just will not be visible.

pauloaguia: So Mr. Shumway your request is sort of granted already, just not all on the same place ;)
It wasn't really a request, I just thought I could clarify things ;)
but started doesn't account for popularity alone.
Of course not. But Chuch already made clear how it was meant to be: instead of having a total sum of finished, and a total sum of running games, have the sum of how many games were started in <whatever period> (e.g. last month, last year, or even february 2005)
BIG BAD WOLF: Um.... Started games and running games are different. I was thinking how many games have been started, of a particular type, in a certain amount of time, for example one month, to find the most popular? Running games doesnt do it, since there are many running games started many months ago etc.... I think that if game A has 100 games started in the past 30 days, and Game B has 50 started games in the past month, then game A would be the more popular.
BIG BAD WOLF: Actually the totals at the rules page account for finished games. A game must be finished to know if it was won by black or white (or red).
This added to the ongoing is what gives you the "started" games. So Mr. Shumway your request is sort of granted already, just not all on the same place ;)
Mr. Shumway: but started doesn't account for popularity alone. Games that have been here for years will naturally have a larger number of started games than games that were introduced just a few months ago. Ongoing gives you a more present figure.
BIG BAD WOLF: One down side to determining the popularity of a game based on "completed games" Is that, unlike hypergammon, some games take many, many moves to complete a game.... maybe just use "started games" as a way to determine the most popular?
