In just two weeks, 5000 really quiet new members. Looks like there will be 80,000 members by Sunday night. Each time I log on I see at least 3 people registering, but usually it's 6 to 10.

It is funny that there has always been two groups to this forum, the general and free. I'm not sure which you graduate to tho. Yeah, I hardly check there as some of them seem a little too obsessive :D

They are bots, not real people.

a forum I am admin on we get 100s of bot requests per day. Kinda a pain filtering them but then vBulletin (ie this board) is much better software than what we use so they should get less. Anyway, they don't count towards the forum total members count. Some of the bots may of got through but I see no evidence of it as as soon as they register they spam post every forum and its a manual removing them.

Its very probable that there has been 5k of members join in the last fortnight.

The membership count dropped by 8000 and the Milarepa Fund (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milarepa_Fund) section is now gone.

so it's Qdrop's fault that the boys are shutting down the milarepa fund?

so Qdrop made 8000 beastie fans 'disappear' like China did to the Tibetan people?
