Yeah not impressive at all when less than 1% of all USCF rated members are 2200+.
Nope, that's Not impressive.

Here's what I'm imagining.
First, an "Advice" forum with sub-forums for sub<1500, Sub<2000 and 2000+ (online ratings, not USCF or FIDE). If you try to start a new thread in the first one, your screen just starts flashing "study tactics" over and over. If you try to start a thread in the second one, it flashes "study tactics and endgames" over and over. You can actually start threads in the third one.
A "Game Analysis" forum, which would ideally be the busiest one, with everyone posting games and helping analyze other people's games.
A "Just Blitz Players" forum, which permabanhammered anyone who clicked on it.
A "How to go from novice to master" forum, which no one is allowed to post in unless they have 100 posts. Hopefully, in those 100 posts, they learn why that is a silly thought, so nobody ever posts in that one.
And Skittles for the general discussion.
Sounds good, amirite?
LOL @ bold
Nice idea overall even though its in jest.
