    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???

    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!

    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:
