southsider2k5 Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share Posted August 10, 2012 QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Aug 10, 2012 -> 07:02 AM) Admins can probably give you a definite answer, but I'm guessing that a lot of accounts have been deleted for trolling/spamming, so you may be the 8720th person to join, but only 4967 of those people still have active accounts. Yep, people can sign up and get given an official account #, but if we investigate and find their email or IP tied to spamming we delete it and don't let them join. That's why we don't allow people to do an instant sign up. It may take longer, but the whole virtually no spammers thing is nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elrockinMT Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 28, 2011 -> 04:50 PM) So I noticed we are up to 4694 registered members at Soxtalk. I thought it might be interesting to throw a contest out there to see who could guess the date that we register member #5000. Guess a date in this thread. Winner receives absolutely nothing but some half-hearted congratulations from fellow Soxtalkers. It seems crazy thinking back to the early days that we could be looking at having 5000 people who have signed up for this site. Then again, it is going on 9 years old now. Also we haven't really done this in a long time, but if you have a friend that you think might enjoy the site, go ahead and pass it on to them. We could always use the new blood and fresh opinions. Also you can join the Soxtalk facebook page, which is kind of our backup plan for whenver Soxtalk crashes, which thankfully isn't as often as it used to be. http://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/gr...gid=27284358753 Nine years now. Seems like just yesterday. I will see if I can convert some guys to be Sox fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
