This site must have been botted to death over the years:

Members: 27,280, Active Members: 88

Never really noticed before there were that many members of which 88 post (and thats being generous)..

I don't know, when I first took over and mass emailed (spammed) everyone, only about 240 mails bounced.

I also don't know how well that stat is, because I'm afraid to rerun the user counters. If I do, it will recalculate everyones post count and if any threads where lost or deleted your post count could go down.

I'm hoping we can kick start the site, granted if Airborne would have been released complete we might have been on our way. Now we have to wait for EA to get their shit together.

Hell if we get the right theme on the board who knows how many people will come back and start posting again

i think the only people that would cry about losing some posts are pyro and blitz. most of us dont care if it needs to be done, or will make things look better.

I dont think many people will care if they lose postcount.

ninty · 03:03 PM

maybe thats active today... or something like that

i don't care about losing postcount but i have been looking back at some old posts just for the fun on it. would be kind of sad to lose some older posts from 4 or 5 years ago.

Wait for CoD4

we should not loose any posts carried over to this point. we'll take it slow and start building features just like the two new buttons in the advanced editor.

You can now justify text around and image and embed youtube videos. I will post a how too on the youtube stuff now.

dr nein · 10-04-2007, 07:34 PM

I wonder how many of those inactive accounts are Simo in his various states of previous bans.

Ah sorry Das, I thought you where talking about phpBB3 users named bots. They where used to keep track of the search engine botz I think, which I have disabled on these boards (not to show in stats).

I was trying to figure out what Bots did in the phpBB side when I first tried their latest version(about a month ago). Got frustrated with the back end and gave up. I knew there would be some issues trying to carry over those unused accounts with the board upgrade.

Are they showing up in the current stats?
