Skyrocketing membership...

Anyone else notice that the number of registered members ratchets up like 40 a day? Is this some sort of error, or what's the story here? I think it's pretty strange...I don't SEE 40 new people here every day. I guess they could be lurking, but 40 lurkers? 40 NEW lurkers a day? That's quite a bit of skulking if you ask me... __________________ How do you know there's 40 new members daily? I just hope no one is like creating 30 different usernames so they can look like they are different people trying to promote a site. Kinda like that site recently with all that crap for sale. __________________ well, before, there could be a lot of new people joining in just to enter the apex wedding contest (stuffing ballots?), but now I'm not so sure... __________________ someone created "Vladiksupporter"....come forward if that was you!
