AI Thread Summary
The forum averages about 40-50 new members daily, indicating steady growth. However, some members are losing weight, which could affect overall engagement and membership dynamics. Greg actively manages the member count by deleting inactive accounts, having removed 6,746 to maintain realistic numbers. There is curiosity about whether the growth rate is linear and if the number of active members is also increasing. The discussion reflects a sense of community growth and engagement trends over time.

average, I wonder whether the growth is linear..
 
I think what is also important to note is that Greg periodically deletes inactive accounts which keeps the member numbers more realistic than some forums that list every registration ever made.
 
Till now Greg has deleted 6,746 accounts.

IIRC a couple of summers back we had a unofficial pool about when we would hit 2000 members. I think then we were doing more like 7 or 8 a day! This place is really growing up.

Are the numbers of active members increasing as well, or has the site hit somewhat of an equilibrium of new users coming in and other users becoming inactive?
