Today we officially surpassed the highest recorded member count that .net ever had, which was 1511.
Of that 1511, there were many dead or unused memberships, and a number of duplicates (people with more than one screen name).
From everything we can tell, after a very thorough housecleaning, every one of ours is an actual person. Some joined, poked around looking to see if they wanted a car, did not buy the car, and have not been back since. We have already cleaned out any Lurkers who had not been on the site since January of this year.
We are in the process of cleaning up the remaining unused or abandoned memberships, and should have those all cleaned out in the next couple of weeks, so the number will drop, but they will be bona fide active members. As a result of this housecleaning, the site and many Lurkers are rediscovering each other. You can witness this is the Introductions area. It has been a lot of fun seeing all those members coming out from the woodwork.
We are also rapidly approaching the highest post total the old site had too. All this during a time that is traditionally slow for these sites. Very cool stuff indeed. We look forward to what should definitely prove to be a Fall and Winter bustling with activity.
We are cleaning all of this up in preparation of a number of new features being added, and more resources added to the library as well, as a part of an upcoming software upgrade.
Lots more cool stuff to come.
Thanks to the members. It's you who make this site work, and has established it as the primary location for all things 968.
