The thing that makes me wonder is how many of those 99K are "sign up, log in once, never heard from again" cases? And what fraction are "sign up, log in, get shitcanned instantly" (AKA "Nothing" - over, and over and over and over and over again, frequently multiple times per hour)We're only at 99,083 right now at 9:30pm 7-12-2021.

I haven't paid much attention. But I would assume the member count would adjust based on members we ban, and most are just lurker accounts. Almost many are lurker accounts. Before we changed to this software, there was over 100k and many were lurker accounts. Never logged in again, and even some where the types of usernames should've been banned anyway. Like "test" accounts for example.The thing that makes me wonder is how many of those 99K are "sign up, log in once, never heard from again" cases?

That's the problem with trying to judge a forum by it's "signed up" count - Beastforum had multiple-millions - but I doubt that at any given moment, more than a thousand of them were actually "in use", as opposed to being either abandoned (or outright banned) "filler"/"leftovers" that meant nothing other than being able to say "Yeah, we've got X million users signed up, so we want 8.4 cents per ad instead of the standard 5.1 cents you usually offer those lame boards with only 10K users."
I thought we had been there a whileWe made it! 100,000 members
look on the home pageI thought we had been there a while
It appears I thought wrong lollook on the home page
Fairly simple. 99k supposed members, 600,000 messages....avg 6 apiece? That suggests ACTIVE membership is well under the actual number. Not a lot different than B/F one way or another.Zooville actually does not include the number of deleted or banned users in the account total on the homepage.
There are now 99,084 members But, the latest member to join is numbered 123,810. The difference is significant.
But I do not think there would be a way to count what fraction of those accounts are "active", or how many users have multiple accounts.
