What's Up with the Fluctuating Membership?

  • Thread starter Scientific Method
  • Start date
In summary, the fluctuation in membership can be affected by various factors such as economic conditions, changes in membership fees, marketing strategies, and the overall popularity of the organization's services or products. The frequency of membership fluctuations can vary greatly and is typically on a monthly or yearly basis. While the organization can implement strategies to influence membership fluctuations, it is difficult to completely control or accurately predict them. Membership fluctuations can have both positive and negative impacts on the organization, and proactive measures such as conducting market research, offering flexible options, and providing excellent customer service can help manage them.

Yesterday there was about 17,120 members, now it's down to 16,879. In fact, this type of fluctuations often happen. Are these just denial of service spambot membership attacks or something?

Once a month I clear out old members who never confirmed their email, thus aren't active.
