"Or how about the "Sign Here" post that told members to sign if they are Grand Masters? That is what all the PM's and comments are for, not the forums."

Well, that particular post was from a time before there were PM's and member message boards here at PG. David has done a lot of work revising and retooling this place. I think this is about the 3rd major revision we're in now, with many minor to moderate tweaks in addition. There weren't a lot of members back in those days, and very few were Grand Masters. About the only way we had to communicate was in game comments (which would only be seen by those playing a particular game) and the Forum. There was no tournament in those days, either.
Actually, we don't have "Grand Masters" anymore. That was an old measure of how many games one had played and the scores they got. In the early going, it was hard to get to be a Grand Master, because there weren't a lot of games at that time.
And even further back than that, there was a time (before I got here), when the only games were the ones David made: there was no game making engine for the players to use.
I see you're fairly new here (about a month). So welcome to PG, and I hope you enjoy it here. And I'll bet that if you stick around for several months, there will be considerable revision to the site. I've been here for about a year and a quarter, and it's amazing how much the site has changed in that time.
I think these revisions are something we all look forward to (and thank David for).
Good Luck and Good Games,
Tickman
