Quote - just checked the username count again - it's up to 473084. apparently a new username is added to the database every 10 minutes, on average. tends to discount the notion that folks are leaving here in droves over the latest snafu :lol:

Please note, I am only commenting on the logic of the above statement, not making comments on whether people should or should not maintain their accounts here.

Your logic actually has a few flaws.

1. The count is the total number of accounts, including accounts that haven't been used for a while and accounts that people have just now decided to stop using. There is no way that WE can tell what that previous and future count of inactive accounts will be.

2. Even if people were "leaving in droves" you can't tell from the total number of accounts because the people that are leaving are not deleting their accounts.

3. This latest "snafu" (as you name it) is more than likely not known to these new people  because they are most likely not reading this thread first before creating their account.

Just thought I would point that out.
