New member registration is closing at 135,000

856 spots left. We are averaging over 200 member apps a day, so these last openings should fill fast.

do old members ever get pruned from inactivity?

No, there is no need for pruning. Space is not the issue.

I’m glad I got a membership while I could ;-)

Unbelievable how quickly new members arrive, obviously great “word of mouth” ! Well, by email & such…

I love this place Thunders. I’m browsing quite alot lately. Any chance for a early unlocking so I can post to the appropriate sections? I’ll just wait my turn if it can’t be arranged. :)

No way to give an early unlock. Posting permissions are group based, not individual based. You are almost there already anyway.

386 left.

Then what is?

Already.

Me being lazy for one and people get tired of dealing with too many newbies at once, being two. I am sure there are other reasons but they escape my mind at the moment.

It’s a lot of work to run a site this big and Thunder barely gets enough in donations to pay the server bills, notice we have no ads on the site. So Thunder needs a break from time to time, he doesn’t get paid for all that he does to keep this place going.

Is it acceptable for me to create an account to keep in case a friend needs one? I don’t think I will because I don’t want to steal a spot from someone that needs it but it has crossed my mind and was wondering.

No.

Lol.
