Isn't it interesting

that we're getting so many new posters since the martyr's death?

1. Most don't last for long but some keep comming back for more. They must be masochistic.

2. I think DU

Has things on lockdown. I got a new phone and had not logged into DU, so when I went to DU it said only registered members could access at this time. I suppose there are trolls who have signed up in the past.

4. That usually happens when the servers are under heavy load. It lightens up the traffic.

Then again, heavy loads occur when things really get cooking.

5. Yes.

7. Also posters with old registrations but very low post counts

I've seen several that signed up years ago but don't even have 100 posts.
I historically don't post much myself, but after 22 years I do have over 10k, so it's weird to me when I see people who signed up in 2002 but only have 50 posts.

and don't even have 7,000 posts, but I don't think it signifies anything weird,

10. No, your total isn't in question to me...the people with 50 posts and a join date near you or me is another story

I have a long memory, and I'm old enough to not trust anybody. And you aren't a stranger to me; I've seen you speak and react appropriately in convos for years now - it's hard to explain, but their dialogue is off, out of place, weird, in a very subtle way. My spidey sense says no when I read them, and it's a bunch of them, all of a sudden, so it's just suspicious to me.

13. Read more than comment. Usually looking for news articles.

[ms liberty]

14. And you've only been here since 2024 and have over 2k posts.

Again, this is not what I'm talking about, what I'm talking about is someone whose join date is 2002 or 03, and they've only got 52 posts. That's a lot more than just not posting much. I joined in 03 and I've got over 10k posts because I do not comment much at all. But if you keep up at your current pace, you'll have well over 40k in posts over the same period of time.
