285,298 ?????

As we all know 285,298 are not posting on this site. SO I was just wondering in the span of 14 years.

1. If ats deducted all the accounts that were banned in the last 14years.
2. All the accounts that were banned , but the user made another account, and banned again, and again and again.
3. All the accounts in 14 years that users just never came back.
4. All the double and triple accounts made by users so they can star them selves.
5. All the posters in the last 14 years whose pass words were changed.

If ats deducted all the above, then how many users’ are actually on this site.

Just denying ignorance that’s it!

Yes.

2. All the accounts that were banned by users, but made another account, and banned again, and again and again.

Users can ban accounts.

3. All the accounts in 14 years that users just never came back.

No. Makes no sense.

4. All the double and triple accounts made by users so they can star them selves.

No, we don't dig into account details.

5. All the posters in the last 14 years whose pass words were changed.

If you change your password, the account is still active.

Oh looky, it was answered.

So mods or owners have never ever changed some ones password?

There were a small number of extreme cases where we didn't want to outright ban a member while staff discussed the issue. No more than 10 though.

I'm aware some carpet-pissing juvenile idiots who love to case aspersions and fabricate lies about us believe it to be more than that, but your passwords do expire here... and some have assumed nefarious intent from an expired password.

SO

Number 3 doesn't make much sense to me. I think the intent of that point was those that made an account and never returned I am assuming you meant that those that made an account and never returned you leave as an open account. Also on the reverse side of the question those that made an account but never contribute hide nor hair you would leave open as they are members like anyone else right? Just a bit confused there on that one.

When I said open I meant active me and my bad choices of words sorry about that

If someone makes an account, just to view the site the way members view it (instead of guests), and never posts... that's fine.

If someone makes an account, spends a few days, never returns... that's fine too, maybe they'll return again.

I've never understood the bizarre fixation carpet pissers have had on our member stats.

I to be honest I have never looked myself I was just curious as to the answer you provided on that one, everything else you said I got, to be honest members in your tier like Springer and others have always been awesome with me. Thank you for your clarification though

for the record I'm not a carpet pisser

Truth to this.

My password expired. I guess it took me a couple of years. I was in Austin, TX when it happened, about 18 months ago. I had a mods contact info external from this site, and took advantage of an easy fix. Literally, an easy fix. Couple of hours turnaround time, and look.....I'm still here. Being a crusty old fart.

This may or may not have any significance, but about 10,000 - 11,000 members have visited in the last month. I would suspect that may be a reasonable count for the number of "active" members, but there are probably several factors I haven't considered.

Over the last year, the count of visiting members has been in the 38,000 - 39,000 range.

Out of curiosity....will ATS replace the pissed stained carpet with tile or something when the upgrade happens?

Granite, sealed granite.

I just want to say that my post is the only one in this thread that is not Springer's doing them all by himself....wait maybe I'm Springer too....hmmmmm

42.

So we finally know what the ultimate question is.

As is the case with all online forums, sometimes they just stop coming. Fact of life.
