(Hmmm) Only 16,031 tombstones on DU's Boot Hill

I guess I would've guessed more than a 21% rate. :shrug: Go figure.

61,207 'live' (even if inactive) registered users as of a few minutes ago. :thumbsup:

6. I don't get it. Why would someone want to register, if not to post?

Just to be able to search & snoop, would be my guess.

If there's another reason, do advise if you would.

9. I know someone who has donated for a few years while never posting.

She enjoys the bookmark and search function. She's really not a message board person, but loves all of the information that is collected and discussed here. :hi:

7. Yep. I know. Probably more than 2/3rds, I'd guess.

I was just interested in the number of tombstones, since that takes a deliberate action on the part of mods/admin. If the average amount of time mods/admin spend discussing and deciding to ban an account is 10 minutes, that adds up to a lot of manhours -- over a manyear.
