Are you sure they were all banned or were they just account not activated? There should inevitably be a number of those amongst recent signups.

I just counted all the members that had strike through names over the last ten pages of the list. The members that had not activated their accounts were included in that list, which would make my findings look even worse. As that would probably get rid of about 50 off the count. So it would have been 43 banned members in the last 150 members that had joined.

So at the time, it was 1 in 3 members were getting banned within a few days of joining.

Of course, all that could have changed by now. As more members have joined since I did my check.

I see we broke through the 45,000 members mark this morning.

If we carry on at this rate, we will have to think about building a Cathedral, and claiming city status.

More members just means the forum ends up grinding to a halt...AGAIN!

Looks like all the Bangbabes regulars came on the forum to find out what was happening.

Now up to 25,045

or apply to be a country, this forum would be between Turks and Caicos Islands (206) and faroe islands (205) in the population list by country.

But there are only about 230 regular contributors (with more than 500 posts)...
There are lots of guys who just want to look but not get involved.

I apologise for not reaching this arbitrary 500 post milestone and therefore not being "regular".

I would have a slightly higher post count, but some git keeps deleting them whilst leaving similar posts by "regulars" untouched. Perhaps when I hit 500 posts the special rules will apply to me too.

And that's the one thing that totally confuses me. Why even join a forum, if all your going to do, is exactly the same thing you can do as a guest.

I don't see the point, in joining a forum, unless you intend to make a contribution to it.

People who want to view certain sections (such as the Alice Goodwin Night Caps/Vids section) need to become a member to do so.

I only joined the site to view an attachment, I wasn't planning on becoming a regular poster but here I am 6 months later with over 2000 posts.
