I have a friend (really!) that is getting into CMC and I told him to be sure to register on this site. Not sure if he has done it yet, but I noticed a few posts by new members recently. Knowing this is a fairly small corner of the web, I was a bit surprised at their "Member No."

Are we really getting 10k new members a month?

Actually, we're getting about 10k "Russian hookers" a month. I typically have 20+ pages of members in queue for approval (they get auto purged if they aren't validated manually by me in 2 weeks). If/when they email me I manually dig up their account in the "rubble" and validate it so they can post. Sadly this board keeps the member numbers based on all the bogus registrations until I manually do a member recount and then it makes the correction and will change that to a believable number. On average we get 1-3 new members a week. Some weeks we get none, some days I get 3-4. I'm guessing we pop up on Pro-Touring or some other website and people come join. We've had some quality members find us that way (whatever way it is) so I'm not complaining at all. The people are what make this site and as long as we keep finding great members with questions or tech, we'll keep doing what we're doing.

I'll go do a member recount and see if those change.... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
