Question
« on: December 30, 2008, 08:47:43 AM »
Am I losing my mind, or was there a member purge?   I could have sworn just the other day when I looked at the member data box at the bottom of the forum page that there were over 400 members (411 maybe?).    Now it states there are only 395.   

Did I miss a memo?    Should I be listening for helicopters?     [insert ninja smilie here]

I dunno.

I was concerned myself because it got into the 390s, and then quit.

Everytime a member is led away for Carousel they delete their account.

You should be okay unless the light in your hand starts blinking.

If that happens, well, you can TRY to run...

If you want to worship an orange pile of garbage with a reckless disregard for everything, get on down to Arbys & try our loaded curly fries.

Okay, seriously though, why the flutation in the membership numbers?  :confused:

I am guessing that some members were deleted and they re-calculated the number of members in the list. The old Schadie member comes to mind as well as a few others.

we were attacked by spammers in november and december.  they successfully registered, were banned, and then were later deleted.  thus, the decrease in members.
