Good evening Naj, Hello, I hope that you are doing well, and that you are having a great day today, just like me.  Yes, I just noticed something, and I thought I should report it to you. I have noticed on the bottom of the screen, it says Total Members, and it gives a total of 239. 239? I can remember when we had over 600!  I just was not sure if the number rolled over, or if there was some other problem elsewhere, but I thought I would tell you about it. Thanks, and take care tonight, Naj. |

Thats most likely it Shorty... there were so many lurkers here, and as you can tell, I dont think we have 600 handles posting here! Now we're down to just the core people  :smile84: |

This summer I cleaned out the membership database. There was a mass exit (hundreds) of online fans after season two began and I didn't have time to keep up with this last season due to being too busy to get to it. I also recounted the membership to display a more accurate figure of who we have.
That figure may vary as I implement the new rules that were emailed this past summer. Inactive accounts of 3-4 months will be deleted. I was supposed to look at the membership again at the end of October so I'm hoping to get to do this soon.
Most board owners don't recount their membership becuase if it shows a high number of enrollment - they prefer to see the inflated figure. Actually it is advantageous to keep that high figure if it's possible but sometimes due to techincal functioning of the board, one may have to recount the membership to fix other problems on the board.
So there you have it. So when you go to a board and see there are thousands signed up that just shows how many have come and gone. Doesn't mean they are all still there.
I have recounted the membership here at least two other times that I can think of. So the 600 + that was up there really would have been much higher had I not done it before.
