There was an old thread like this where Ben said there were more than 7,000 members but I found this post by Kevin:

Kevin posted on June 18:



A few hundred??? Come on...there are a few hundred on-line at any given time 24 hours a day. There are well over 3,000 members of prince.org (and I may be very low with that number, I haven't done a count recently.)

I truly find it humorous and sad that people would blame Ben, Matt, Myself, Val, or anyone who puts effort into this place for not moderating the place 24/7...

There are so many things that are wrong in this discussion that I can't even begin to comment on them because I don't have the time (remember?? we all have REAL jobs!)

It is truly amazing that people go out of their way to make complaints about a free service that some stranger is providing them...and use that person's own forums to make those complaints.

Amazing.


So of course my question is how did this site jump from 3,000 to over 7,000 so quickly?

I personally don't believe it for a second, but it's all good.

I do think it' odd that they hide membership numbers. Most sites brag about this type of thing.


ps - this is my 500th post so I'm halfway to being a member of that exclusive 1,000 post club.

there could easily be 7000 registered members, because it seems many folks register 3-4 times, you know the grand goodbye, and reappear over and over again.

I don't really see how it matter much, but...

According to the "who's online" stats, 184 is the MOST that has ever been online at one time (not quite a few hundred as stated above).

Whenever I've bothered to look at that, there has always been less than 100 online (44 members currently).

I noticed the same max number (184), but I'm assuming that this is the max AFTER the feature was introduced.

And this didn't come around until late may/early june.

I'm sure there are 7000+ screennames, but nearly half of that number is taken up by Oceana's alter egos, and the other half is imposter variations on "2the9s".

That leaves about 12 of us.
