I believe the relevant number was 1,850 in the month 6-May-2003 to 6-June-2003. Now you won't have to ask again.

The number of active posters is continuing to rise too, which bodes well for interesting discussions on Poly. And it also bodes well for Spike's (newbie quetsion) challenges.

The Something Awful forums regularly have 1300 users on at once, and they're using vbulletin with a lot of hacks and stuff. So if necessary, Apolyton can ask them for pointers on how to manage a high-capacity board.

Perhaps this has something to do with it:

quote: In order to offset server costs and bandwidth bills, Something Awful is charging a one time only $9.95 fee for a basic forum account registration. (after registering, you can upgrade to platinum for search and private messaging capabilities) As we all know, the Internet industry is pretty much a craphole these days, and the only way website owners can break even is by charging subscriptions. I want to keep the main site and content free of charge, so your registrations and donations help keep both the forums and main server alive, as well as keeping me out of prison for murdering advertising executives.

Banal?

Inquiries as to the activities of AH's personal life are never banal.

Which makes me curious as to the proper proportion of these new registrations responsive to AH.

I bet they could afford a pretty good server with that kind of revenue.

Why do you think I changed the thread title to 12 days!?!?

But, thin isn't a membership thread, this is a "what happened to my membership thread" thread.

I thought it was obvious... with the record speed of new registrations, the last thing we need is YET ANOTHER thread everytime we pass a meaningless new thousand level. Try to keep them to important levels.
