Is it just me or are there a lot of new boardsies around???

thetonynator

Is it just me or are there an awful lot of people registered in the last few weeks around boards at the moment??? Peole with low post counts and registration dates of mar/apr 2010.

Is boards becoming more popular or do a lot of people just have a second account . . .???

Of course it could be just me being slightly weird . . .;)

Anyone else notice this recently???

Probably due to the hack

I think a lot of people checked in after the hack, perhaps due to the national coverage.

Yeah I've noticed that too... meh, a few old-timers have left over the past few months; you don't want this place becoming deserted do you?

Boards "did an emmerdale" killed off a rake of old characters and replaced them with fresh new ones. Only the Best Old Characters survived.

Yessss!

In seriousness though, I noticed an influx of new members in the weeks following the hack and I presumed it was because of the coverage. Nothing wrong with it though, the more the merrier!

I re-registered after the hack.

New boardsies were brought in to spice up & to re-invent the place so we don't get cancelled.

Some of the old-ones are planning their own spin-offs according to sources.

I'd say that there's more than one kind of hack sniffing round Boards, and they must have recently registered in their droves.:eek:

Thanks for the heads up. 0/

There were a lot of new regs after the hack but almost all have their old acc back afaik.

It has seemed quite the last month or 6 weeks to me

s'pose I'm a noob, took me forever to register, I just kept reading and thinking "I must register", then I did

Now I can use phrases like...back in my day...or...the boardsies of today..

You remember when this was TomTom's...

I can't see why. One new member was sitebanned the other day after only two posts. :eek: It's not like he was even trolling or anything. :mad:

Glad to have you ..

Wish more 'readers ' would register.

If you look at viewing Members & Guests list at the foot of the the After Hours front page, you will always see at least 50% more guests are here at any given time.

Sometimes there can be 300 guests reading After Hours when there is only 100 or so members.

I love when newbies sign up, new threads are fresh blood.

Really grates me when I hear people complaining about the "old days" and how After Hours is going downhill.

It's usually from people that never even start threads too which seems odd, as if it wasn't for people starting threads, these complainers wouldn't have an After Hours to post in.

I'm here over four years, trust me, After Hours is just as good now if not better than what it was a couple of years back.

It's not perfect, but it will get better, I feels it in my bones.

Newbies = new threads = different opinions = more laughs = more wimminz = win.

Some new men is cool too I suppose

I felt sorry for him so I did.:(

But you know what, he took it in such good part that I would consider letting him back in.

/if it was up to me..:p

Yeah, once you get to 500 posts you are initiated.

Boards is really a collection of vampires looking to increase their numbers.

Muuuhahahahahahahahaha...haha..haha.

I thought the same.

Someting about him reminded me of this guy too, just can't think what though.

tomhappens

Lot of new people around but I think the sites stats are on a downward trend at the moment. More using spin off sites and the latest media, like Twitter which is irc for the masses.

irishleedsfan

Am i a newb? Ive been registered for around a year but i have a very small post count. Im more of a reader (lurker):)
