I ask because all I've seen, for as long as I can remember, are spammer types. Has the joint settled into its longtime, 2-3 dozen "real" members, and that's just who it is/who it's gonna be? Not complaining at all, just curious of any non-spammers sign up at this point? I can't recall any.

Brad could probably run a script and find out, but I can tell you from the Members List that it's been a very long time indeed!

Originally Posted by psmith2.0 It seems the place is pretty much down to me, Ken, drew, turtle, 709, Ryan, chucker, Yontsey, Frank777, PB PM, Dr. Bobsky, Bryson, Dave, kieren, Mac+, thegeriatric, RowdyScot, Capella, Matsu, murbot and a few others I just can't recall at the moment. But I think it's less than 25 active members.

Yep, that's about it.

Robo was around for a few posts a couple years ago. Alcimedes pops in around domain renewal time every year. Windswept showed up last September for a single post. Goldfrapp is off making a name for herself, but stopped by a couple years ago. Kickaha has been around quite a bit, lately, but I know he took a couple years off to break stuff. Torifile stopped by last August. Those others? It's been a long time.

Here's to the die-hards!
