Is there any way to see how many members are currently active.

It seems I run into the same faces on most threads.

I don't think the internet will be around at that point. TEOTWAYKI is right around the corner.

choose your cause:

-no fuel for electricity
-electrical grid failure
-no money to pay the electric or internet bill
-fiat money having no value
-communications absorbed by government/civil liberties curtailed
-all members labeled as insurgents, transferred for reeducation
-no server willing to host the site or fear of reprisal/being labeled insurgent
-technology saves us by then, the whole notion is moot
-catastrophic disaster: supervolcano/asteroid impact/out of cowbell

25,000th member signed on

3 months and a day for 5000 new members. The surge from the newspaper article gave this place a boost. Unfortunately much of the spike in traffic waned after a couple of weeks.

Wow, kpeavey, I forgot you and I joined on the same day. I didn't realize there were less than 1000 members then, either. Probably less than 800 if there were only 691 on Sep. 30th. I remember I was very nervous about posting at first, and how relieved I was when Pops made a welcoming reply to my first post.

I wonder what will happen when we hit the next big spike in oil prices. I bet when it gets to $150 there's another spike in media attention, and we'll have to upgrade the servers again.
