One of the better ideas for you, is to buy them more speedy computers! That
would take care of the slow stuff.


Why not take over the running of the SSDF?  You could have them send you all the
games, you could then work out the ratings all by yourself.  This would help us
all.  Then in due time you might think of getting 20 computers all fast, and do
a better job?

Or let them do their hobby without assuming they are anything but a decent group
of people, trying their best!  After all, it is easy to give criticism.

How about offering instead. A positive helping hand.  This can be no more than
saying, that their hobby is a good one.  To tell them well done!

In my humble opinion.  Your mileage may vary!
