Based on iftechfoundation#449 The "similar members" recommendation system has been dropped. The text explaning how it worked was still in the code, but this removes it entirely.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
This looks good to me, but if we are permanently getting rid of "overloaded," we may also want to delete it from the ifdb-recommends page. See https://github.com/iftechfoundation/ifdb/pull/274/changes
On the other hand, there's an open pull request (#1310) affecting the components of the home page, so I'm not sure of the best timing for making changes to the ifdb-recommends page. Maybe that could be added as an issue for the future.

I want to contribute to the repository, so this is a small first commit and pull request to test things out.
It fixes Update the "Why did IFDB recommend these?" explanation, which suggests removing the "similar members" algorithm explanation from the How does IFDB pick games to recommend? popup, since the "similar members" recommendation system is evidently no longer in use.
The text explaning how it worked was still in the code, though it was hidden with PHP, so no one would actually see it. But I removed it entirely.
