    where did everyone go?

    what happened to all the members? i remember membership had breached 10000, but now it shows only 7767. perhaps the higher figure was total registrations, but this would mean 2233+ are no longer with us (spammers/banned/booted/quit)? i know bryan just went on vacation, but this seemed like the right place to post, since it isn't feedback or casino-related, but also not wildly irrelevant either. anyone feel free to hypothesize or if you know something i don't then pipe up, please. cheers,

    possibly some type of correlation between members that have AOL e-mail addresses and the announcement he recently posted about members with AOL e-mail addresses. As you requested,nothing more than a hypothesis.............Of course, it could be us children have run off almost 25% of the normal................I will see if I can find a map.

    The number of active members, which stands at 1453, is probably more significant. Glancing through the list there are many members which I dont even recall having made any posts. Quite a number are banned. BTW, I really dont hope that a large number of them have requested to quit this forum.

    I agree with Nash... probably related to Bryan's announcement above re: AOL.

    Casinomeister has recently received a few complaints from AOL that it is sending out spam. These complaints have stemmed from a few members who had placed Casinomeister emails into their "spam" box thus generating these complaints.

    I have decided to disallow AOL email addresses to be used for registration. Also, members who have AOL email addresses listed in their profile need to replace this with a real email address. Just a heads up.

    Remember - friends don't let friends AOL

    Any suggestions on the easiest way to obtain another e-mail account for simply the purpose of this forum. Do not really know all the possibilities since I have been w/ AOHELL since Gore invented the internet. Thus, I really have never been concerned with the other possibilities..........thought I have seen where e-mail address's are available and relatively hassle free by going to a web site,not sure though. If so ,are they reliable,etc.................these questions are directed to anyone with suggestions,TIA....................Mousey, your siggy that I just noticed is cracking me up,not so much the quote but Jim Morrison making a half coherent statement

    I use Hotmail (I guess it's MSN Live or some such chit nowadays) or Yahoo email for most everything online. They're more reliable than my ISP mail ( and my email is still there even if my computer crashes) and they filter out spam better than my ISP mail.

    Gmail, as Lojo mentioned, seems to work ok, too. Invites abound if they still require it to sign up.

    I've have had a Yahoo! email account for years just as a backup or in the early years when travelling - never had a problem and it has improved steadily with unlimited storage space now.

    Since we're speculating I'm going to guess at some point Bryan purged anybody that did not have a post. I'm sure there are tons of automated signups.
