Activity.

How does chess.com monitor activity? How does it, in other words, determine the most active members?

How does it monitor the activity. Not how it keeps score, did you even read the question?

I think it's measured by how many posts you make in the forums on that day. The rankings for the most active member are listed here:

See GeorgeBlackChess? Even though you might make more posts on the forums than I do (though I'm catching up quickly), my posts are far more helpful than yours.

You said 11 words total in your 3 posts on this thread, combined. Now u see what I mean when I say ur posts aren't helpful?

blah

blah

so is your question answered sufficiently? if not you can see the help page on chess.com.

oh.........!!!!!!
