We're 18 Today

Re: We're 18 Today

If you look at the user number of the latest registered user it will be a higher number than the total number of registered users.

(ie latest user is 13459 and we only have 13397 registered users)

(cag latest user 313172 and only 272009 registered users)

Not sure where the 'latest' registered users figure comes from but I used the 'Members' figure at the bottom of the main page


Threads: 20,652, Posts: 167,824, Members: 13,397

What's the difference?

Re: We're 18 Today

Well you are member 332, I'm member 6 and Caspar is member 11600 - thats your forum ID number and is what the database uses to organise posts/pm's/settings etc, the last person to register is gandalf6288 and he is member number 13459.

The number of registered users excludes those who are banned, so only shows a total of 13397 (because it cant allocate a number more than once).

So we have about 62 people(spammers) banned/deleted (not sure which).

So using that formula CAG have banned 41,136 users.

Is your profile, if u look in the browser bar at top of your browser (firefox / IE etc) it shows there member.php?u=622

Not very exciting really unless we're settling arguments about who was here first pmsl.

(I really am very boring you know)

Okey doke.

Consider this:

Beagles' have banned 0.5% (that's half a percent) of it's users.

Then consider this:

CAG have banned 15% (that's fifteen percent) of it's users.

Now, using your skill and judgment, which site is the most tolerant?

Re: We're 18 Today

Possibly not a fair comparison. Depends on how popular a board is with spammers, if they make up a sizeable proportion of the banned/deleted users.

Re: We're 18 Today

Blimey ! I know CAG do now and then remove users who registered but didnt confirm by clicking the link in an email confirmation, so that probably accounts for a big whack of those. We dont have email confirmation so have no need to do that. It would be interesting see compare % of users who have/havent posted since registering, but thats an admin panel thing.

Anyway I'm pleased with how things are working on here regardless of what CAG are up to. If we ever end up that big people will probably defect to smaller sites, its just how things go with big forums. (and I sincerely hope we don;t end up that big, LB is good cause its small)

Anyway just for interest heres where we started....
