ONCE CONNECTED HOW DO YOU GET STARTED PLAYING AN OPPONENT?  CHALLENGING? ACCEPTING CHALLENGES?  ETC.  NO INSTRUCTIONS!

One common misconception is that the game server is somewhere on this board. Users might be looking for connection instructions as if the site was the front end to the server. I used to see similar inquiries at gammonvillage.com asking how to play etc..  Maybe a prominent "how to connect sign up and play" on the main page would help.
