general increase of user on the forums by tomfletcherman on 03-08-2004 at 06:13 PM
Any ideas why this is, there are a lot of guests (40 right now) is it just the hype over new msn messenger and plus?
RE: general increase of user on the forums by Johnny_Mac on 03-08-2004 at 06:16 PM
40 Guests is not a lot, thats about normal since about January. Plus most of them are probably GoogleBot.
Members registering for this month are obviously a lot higher then the past 2, thats because of the incase in information about Plus! 3 and MSN Messenger 6.2.
btw, this incase beats nothing of april last year...
Last month: 596
April 2003: 6061
So ya know, its not as busy as i thought it would be. I suppose that may change when Plus! 3 is publically released.

yes, the new version of plus may be the cause, however, people haven't registered too much in las last month compared to the last ones (it goes about 600-900 people/month and in March to july it was 1700-6000 people/month)
statistics here

HUH, Choli, the eegg 
Well, considering that in 8 days we are in March 272 is more than the last months' average. At the end of the month we'd have about 925 registrations. It reminds me to the MP!2 boom, so with the MP!3 announcement and launchment will happen something similar, I'm afraid. As long as they're not lamers like the ones we had a couple of days ago (well, yesterday 
) they'll be welcome.

Well it wasnt nice, i expect we may see it again often this year if going on last year is anything to go by. Obviously not as much press as the MP2 release as that was quite special.
btw, see the quick quotes working great, i said that not Choli.

I'm afraid in April there will be another bunch of registrations. You know: holidays, MP!3, interesting members 
, *cough*stupid*questions*cough* 
Well, great board anyway

Well, a relative increase I'm sure that will happen

Could we possibly have a new member lockout over the month of april and give non members a link to teh download of the main site? This could give everyone some peace lol. Prob this is a bad idea as patchou wants hits and I guess we all want new members?

This is a support forum, lock out new members?
