[quote name='flash' post='48722' date='Mar 5 2008, 08:19 AM']well, since announcing the site changeover, to date, we have had 117 new legitimate members join us[/quote]
Thats a tremendous growth. I recall not to long ago when there were only about 2 topics going on on any given day. So those fresh voices are warmly welcomed by me also. Now, don't be shy about posting.
I love my 968 for what it is & don't hate it for what it isn't!

I've often wondered the same thing...BUT, unlike PCA, you don't have to OWN a 968 to join the forum!! <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/tongue.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />
Rhudeboy said it best...new voices (and faces) are great...I look forward to meeting new members at the various events.

The higher number then total members is due to the spammers. They sign up for accounts to spam the forum, this increments the member number. When a spammer account is deleted the member number isn't put back in a pool or something.

Probably the last real registered member number minus the total registered number of users. That would give you a approximate number of accounts that have been deleted.

Yep thats correct. But probably there is a story to tell by the moderators I suppose?
Otherswise there are 528 pages with 10 members on those pages each....

[quote name='Simuse' post='49049' date='Mar 11 2008, 04:06 PM']Probably a bit off topic but didn't want to start a whole new thread...
I noticed today that (now) there are about 11 members online - and 53 guests...I clicked on the link to see who is doing what (which I didn't know you could do) because I was curious what all these guests were doing - as it turns out all 53 were viewing the Blogs - of which there are few and yet generating a surprising amount of interest.
Just curious how this works - the whole guest thing (are they just web search spiders crawling around) and why they would get stuck in the blogs...[/quote]
It's actually probably spammers in the Blogs, there is a slight issue with this version of the blog software and spammers. The later versions include spam prevention measures for the blogs.
