    I know the Boardsie Stats say that we have 65,000 members but we're now up to user ID 70000, maybe the extra 5000 have been deleted I have no idea.

    Either way: congratulations to Donnchadh for being our 70,000th user! (possibly)

    Careful, you'll prompt a string of posts along the lines of "I remember when this was all just fields."

    time to start some ethnic cleansing. I suggest deleting the accounts of those who are bearded nerds. That should get rid of a load of the women here.

    Still not able to grow facial hair diddums?

    Thanks Ber, think it might need a bit of a trim coming into the warmer weather, but I like how it sits at the moment so might leave it for a bit.

    This could be a subject for the F/Ap board though.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,231 ✭✭✭✭Sparky


    Yeah 70,000 users, the majority of them spammers.
    Imagine if we had atleast 50,000 active users.

    /me thinks we would have even bigger server issues.

    But we are crawling along now, a lot of the time at least, for a number of months at least.

    Be interesting to determine how many of those 70,000 users Boards has lost due to the mystifying slowdowns that periodically appear. I have noticed a definite drop-off in the number of posts since this problem began.

    Any update on a resolution? :confused:

    Can someone run a check:
    How many have 0 posts?
    How many have 1 posts?
    How many have 2 posts?
    How many have >2 posts?

    Just to see if I still outpost the bottom half of the membership. :o

    Isn't post count inversely proportionate to the size of one's penis? If one has a penis, of course. :eek:

    Esel,
    See those red stars under my name, that means I actually pay money to use this great site. If more people did the same and paid even 1 months subscription every year then there'd be a lot less problems as the admins would have more money to spend on server upgrades etc.

    And if all 70,000 users subscribed then DeV could blow all the money at a high roller table in Vegas :p

    this requires a quote from the simpsons :)
