I'm not certain, but I think I was ~3k when I started posting on GoDiscussions (toward the tail end of its life). I had been lurking for a lot longer though. I'm 1d now, so that's 4 stones improvement.

My improvement rate was much faster from 12k to 3k, but I guess it makes sense that it would slow down.

Was 6k KGS/5k AGA when I joined GD, now 4d KGS/5.7d AGA...haven't improved at all in the last 1 - 2 years though...SC2 isn't helping with that either, but oh well.

15k to 5k, and now back to 7k. So I improved 10 stones, and then lost 2. :O

I became 8k on KGS the same day I joined L19 (28th Apr 2010). Now I think I'm 4k there, so 4 stones.

:D I started off as a 21kyu, and I have now reached 11kyu. I guess it's slow development, but I'm happy with how far I've come since I started playing, and I can thank this forum for a lot of that development! :bow:

maybe time for some (Go) lessons about counting. This might easily get you to the 4 stones ;-)

I joined GD in april 2006, and entered a tournament at 2 kyu two days later. Today I am 1 dan, and improving very slowly if at all.

Nice! Well, in that case, I have gained exactly 2 stones since joining GoDiscussions :D
