So this is something I noticed last year. The member count went through the roof last year.
Has anyone noticed a flood of activity from new people in the regional boards?
Not really in the Texas Board.
How about the net play community? Lots of new activity there?
How about on IRC?
I don't remember seeing much in the way of spam posts, just a couple here and there. Are these new accounts like, bot accounts?
Are they foreign accounts, and there are not a lot of new posts or activity because of the language barrier?
Looking at the fourm stats, the trend of a fuck ton of new members is, well, increasing by a fuck ton...
For 2012, Melty Bread saw 3114 new members. That's like 67.8% increase over all the previous years.
For 2013, January alone has seen like 1200 new members so far, more than 1/3 of all last year. That's about 13.5% for Melty Bread's total life time for new members over a 16 day period.
Any insight into this? I'm not really trying to sound like I'm complaining, I'm just curious.
I wonder how many of these accounts that were created over the last year have been logged into more than once, on their creation.
