So we are off to a decent start!
Up to 20 members now and the Advanced League is looking good!
The only problems are the lack of activity due to everyone being on at different times. (Which is currently understandable.) In addition to that the lack of people playing the games in the Leagues. hehe
So I would like to propose some solutions! If you want to help generate activity, try posting your game records in the Game Review sections and leave comments on others game reviews. Even if you are unable to review, you can post questions about the game, or comment about what you liked about the game and offer encouragement to the player who played. Since playing and studying games are the two main point for this site let's try to get this going!
Secondly, I would like to see more activity in the Leagues! I of course understand that it is difficult to find games with others through a forum, but perhaps I can suggest a type of post. Create a post in the League section stating your request for a game with other members of the league, and put your user name on KGS and when you are likely to be on. Remember! Everyone in the league is eligible for 1 free game review! So let's get some games going!
Also as an update, I have many plans for this site and of course you understand it is still in its early stages. Some of those plans include a user profile interface that is synced up with this forum but will also keep track of individual profiles games/SGG ratings. (Shawn's Go Group) The idea of the rating system is to measure performance, rather than strength, against others on the site. An example of this is the Ladder profiles on the Main site page.
There are also many more exciting feature to come so look forward to it!
