This forum needs a makeover

[NajdorfDefense]

You're right that you didn't say you didn't like the forum, that was just my interpretation of your post. I hope more sharp bettors do post more info here, even as limited as you suggest, as well. And it is hard for a newb to distinguish btw sharp and square advice if the sharps don't explain more.

A lot of the issues as you allude to are basically the signal-to-noise ratio, I think you are spot on in most of what you say. Whenever anyone tries to decrease the noise, that generates more noise for a little while, but the right answer is not to let the noise take over the forum completely, thus making any signal impossible to find.
