I'm thinking dustin7 will get it.. still 4 weeks left vs the three-ish between the last update and now

Of course, that depends on how many more get banned! LMAO
I swear I think I saw the member number actually go down at least one day.

Merry Christmas! :cheers:

Do they come in as bots or are they actually people who post ads? (for the most part)

The system won't allow bots to register, they are all real people.

It's my lot in life to ban as many spammers I can. The general membership doesn't see very many, if any, spammers these days as the mods and admin get to them first. I ain't gonna say why, or how it's done. :scratch:

Just a guess, there are more users of the report section than matches our "active" membership numbers... A decade ago, I didn't even enter the forum section. I ONLY used the report section. Now, it's the other way around. LOL [scared]

There's a techie question! How many different IPs view the reports section in a year?

We average around 220,000 unique IPs per month, and the forum membership is around 27K, so yup, most people come to the site to mainly read the fishing reports.

I'd love to see another 500 join but it seemed the best week last month was about 70(just a guess, didn't write it down)..the last week of Nov, the number hardly moved, maybe due to the holiday.. yes, I have too much time on my hands currently.

Jiminie Cricket Mike! 8 times as many users as members! That's BAD ASS and mind boggling! :cheers:
just in a month.......
