Yes, I noticed that also when I registered as the 10792th member and my user id was 10858. BTW, what's the reason for the small difference?
Two more questions to the site owner:
- When will Apolyton hit the mark of 20000 members?
- When will Civfanatics catch up?

Users sometimes are deleted, and the conversion to vB skipped some numbers (for all changed handles I guess, but I'm not sure)

I'm sure they'll tell you they aren't sure, but that they'd love it the sooner the better without a ton of dls. (Am I kind of right Mark?)

Never, or at least that would be the hope.

9900 of them Horsie's, 100 of them mine (where else did you think our prevalence in the Location poll came from?).

Does one need to register to get downloads? (MArk?) That would falsely inflate the size of the community...
How many active posters are there. (people who posted in last month say...)

Mark, very nice statistics. I'm impressed that you have such a good handleon this stuff.
Any idea on how this compares to other sites (not Civ but internet in general?) Like say ESPN or Straight Dope or what have you? How impressive are these numbers to other people (advertisers, etc)?
Are you guys seen as bigger than a normal hobby site? OR are there lots of other "Apolyton size" sites out there? Maybe AOE Heaven? They are bigger than us, right?

What is the largest bulletin board site out there, in terms of registered members? Is Poly the largest in the Civ-esque game category?

Click on your user profile, the icon with a folder and a person standing next to it. In the address, it will have something like
userid=4616
Which is your ID number, btw

i'm not sure on what happened with them. it might simply be that they have a different way to measure "currently online" visitors...

19000 Members. Yet less than 3000 active? That is silly. I assume that activity increases drastically when a patch or so is announced.

...And the rest are unused DL's
But you have to admit, those aren't good numbers- we need to get the post in last 3 months up to 5000 at least!
There will one day be too few people here to post- I fear that we have about 2 years of good activity, 2 years of slipping, and 2 years of dying- if Mark and dan keep the site up and the site does not expand to other games
Hopefully Civ IV will be released in 6 years... It was 4 yrs between I (1992) and II (1996) and 5 between II and III (2001)

I still don't get why so many people come, register, and don't post at all. These mute registered are more than 1 half of the members !

Aren't you deleting accounts after they've been inactive for a certain time? Doesn't the inactive user info take up space on the database ?
