Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So, remember that conversation about getting rid of inactive accounts? I just got this in an email from a board I don't even remember registering on:
We also would like you guys to know that, due to bandwidth issues, we will be forced to erase all 0 posts members from our database in a few days. Those who registered and have never come back are taking up MB's space, what helps causing the down times. Note that we are not forcing anyone to post or participate, we're just letting you know the reason for some measures that will be taken soon.
We have nothing against lurkers, this is just the only way to free space for those who we know have made MB a great online comunity.
Huh.

That makes no sense. How do members who register and then never post or even come back contribute to bandwidth issues?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
If they never post, but lurk and read, they contribute to bandwidth issues. If they never post and never come back, there is only the stored user data.
It's a bad argument, though because lurkers who don't register will use bandwidth, too.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
It sounds as if they just wanted to destroy the whole "lurkers support me in email" line of argument at its source.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

One of these things is not like the other...
Note that we are not forcing anyone to post or participate
Aren't they?

Haha! You have no lurker support, you tiny internet people! Haha! All your 0 posts are belong to me!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
All your 0 posts are belong to me!
So that's where they went. Next we'll find out you took all the 1's as well.

Speaking of which, here are some stats for Minearverse in the two weeks following Tim's announcement of the cancellation. (So ~6:00 pm PDT 4/3/04 - ~6:00 pm PDT 4/17/04.)
New registrations: 229
New users who posted: 99
(This does not count people who registered prior to the announcement, and then delurked after. There are a few of those as well, but I didn't look at that.)
New users who've only posted once: 47
New users who post "regularly" in Minearverse: 23 (10%)
(These are users who have posted multiple times on multiple days. They account for 88% of the posts by new users in Minearverse.)
Existing users (including delurkers) who posted: 157
Existing users who've only posted once: 29
(Didn't attempt to count "regulars" for this category.)
Total posts in Minearverse for the period: 6120
Total posts by new users in Minearverse for the period: 1489 (24%)
% of Posts by New Users by Day
Date % 03-Apr-04 19% 04-Apr-04 12% 05-Apr-04 24% 06-Apr-04 17% 07-Apr-04 15% 08-Apr-04 22% 09-Apr-04 26% 10-Apr-04 24% 11-Apr-04 36% 12-Apr-04 33% 13-Apr-04 18% 14-Apr-04 32% 15-Apr-04 52% 16-Apr-04 28% 17-Apr-04 37%
Don't know if any of this means anything. Basically, we've picked up a lot of new users, but the old users are still pretty chatty as well.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Next we'll find out you took all the 1's as well.
I call dibs on the 2's!
