New Users?
What's the deal with the number of "total members" here? I think you know what I mean.
It seems like as soon as most registrations are entered, they are just as quickly deleted. The overall number of new members doesn't seem to be growing at all.

Summer is always a slow period for newbies to register. We may have other problems Varg caused us, that we aren't aware of as yet.

I too, noticed that! Weird username like that 'dmajdapttad' were registered, had to be bots. When i registered, noticed that the security weren't tough enough. I think 'normal' registration must be banned and instead made on request...

We used to just let folks join and post at once. Now they must all be approved.

Moral cowardice is usually laced with a simmering viciousness, ready to unleash havoc for little or no reason. Those people hate their lives and they especially hate those who've done a better job of managing their existence than they have.

Your analysis is not too far off the mark. |

Re: New Users?
Any theory as to why the number of active users is steadily declining, and any idea how to see this trend reversed? It's rather depressing, actually.
By the way, how's it going with that server switch?
