What was the old rating system like?

Please, explain detailed what was the old rating system on chess.com like?

The old rating system was - "Wow, you beat Capablanca? You must be awesome!"

more detailed pls

pls

Well........... you had to oil the wagon wheels a lot. Sometimes the horses pooped on yer feet if the wagons design had it sittin' too low. But I digress. The newer version is just different, not sayin' it's better. 

I guess that didn't help much bjoshua1234? Or did it?

I think it was a reputation rating as in who a strong tournament and how many tournaments and matches has a person won and winning streaks maybe also brilliancy and immortal games and world title and grandmaster titles / hope this helped : D

"When I have white, I win because I have white. When I have black, I win because I am Bogolyubov" - Bogolyubov

"I can give God pawn and move" - Steinitz

"I can give Steinitz pawn and move" - Ubik42

I'm thinking the OP was referring to the chess.com rating system before they changed. That was before I joined I guess. I'm sure the old systems formula can be looked up, right?

Thats what I was talking about I dont know what anyone else was talking about.

Well, I got lost & was talking about wagon wheels & horse poop & so forth. But then I found my way back to the discussion.

PLS explain the system!!!!
