Hey guys, I know I have not posted much here, but I do get info sometimes, and am very active in some other forums. I am wondering how you can have over 72,000 members. It seems that not so long ago, there were nowhere close that many.

I also noticed that your top 9 posters have a post count of 16777215 on the membership list. I did not, however, find that many posts by them. Also, I would think it would be impossible for a member that has only been a member for under a year to have nearly 17 million posts.

I am sure this is just some forum error, and since I had not seen any other posts on it, I figured I would help out and bring it to your attention.

Thanks for all the info, and keep up the great work!

serv error, mods being funny or something... both possibilities... wasn't there a serv crash ('07?) and I hear you can't see posts before then because they were lost... I may be thinking of another forum, or just be wrong, though.

The posters with millions of posts signed up during the server problems. Some people gained a few million posts, some lost a couple thousand.

nope thats about right, crash and errors are probly the reason...or funny mods maby but i doubt they would waste their time...

of all of the 70,000 or whatever members over half are spam posting bots or people who post once and leave cause we dont help them....we probly only have 100-125 active users Id say.

It can't be a coincidence that this number is 0xffffff in hex.
