    Every single time I sign into the forum I see that there is a new name on "newest registered user" but they never post anything. The forum can be read and searched without logging in, so why do so many people sign up and never post?

    Well, I think DU does some cleaning every now and then. Maybe he's waiting for spring.

    Well, this newbies are changing all the time and often those who were newest begin to post, mostly for some questions about Arcanum. Most of this discussions change the topic at about 3-5 days or even least and this newbies begin to be involved in discussions. Al we were newbies some time. :)

    Unlike your mother who has her penis sucked but never returns the favour to you?



    I wasn't suggesting that we eradicate all the non-posters (there are some posters who deserve it much more). I was just curious as to why they bother signing up if they don't have a specific question / comment to make.

    Maybe they want to look for our secret members-only forums, not realizing you need 100 posts to access them.

    I meant that perhaps most of them had signed up but were deleted by DU when he did the cleaning some time ago; alas, they had to sign up again.

    So that explains spookydoomager then.

    Ah, I understand now but I don't think it explains it. If they had not logged on for months then why bother signing up again just to continue not posting?

    Anyway, I'm away to spam GD so I can get into the super secret forums.

    Look, we already know you guys don't know anything, so just calm down, and stop looking behind yourself every five minutes.

    You can't kill a machine. They're not alive in the first place.

    Maybe both. But now we know your secret identity.

    What do you do?

    Carry on like it never happened, never under estimate the apathy of which the members here are capable.

    Maybe we can't KILL him, but we can, like, disable him or something?

    You mean like maim or sth?

    Hm, now that's a whole new perspective.

    Will need more thinking about it though.

    How would we accomplish such a quest?
