2. in reality...

I think we are probably around 25-26,000 with 4k disruptors. Why can't the mods delete the disruptor names??

7. Freakpublic claims 100,000+ since 1996

Its only a matter of time before we destroy them

9. 100,000?!?!?!

That's just sad. It's probably bullshit, though.

8. I'd like to thank George W. Bush and his handlers.

He makes it so easy being a DU member.

10. You're right, Norbert

I hesitate to admit it, but were it not for the (s)election of Bush & Co, I'd have likely never found this place and finally registered. The up-side is that I've finally decided to be proactive instead of reactive.

Thanks, Dubya. Your failings and inadequecies have awakened many of us. We won't sleep again. Not ever.

11. we need a better stat.

if i totalled the average online count daily for a week, what is it? 200?

The stats should record:

Total registered (as today)

monthly daily average accessing

monthly daily average logged in (meaning averaged daily over a month)

monthly daily authoring (average daily authors posting)

This would give a more honest and self effacing view of the development of DU... why hide behind stats... best to make the access stats more transparent that the forum can be better tuned to heat up.
