I'm just wondering if there is a graph somewhere here that shows the amount of growth that a.cc has had in the past several years; number of new members that sign up, new games in the depot, posts per month, stuff like that.

New Members:

Open Accounts grouped by join date:

Posts per month:

Hmm, what's the number of open accounts at present?

Mainly, I'm wondering about the ratio of active accounts to accounts.

When is an account considered closed?

Accounts are "closed" after three months of inactivity. At any given time, there are usually 700 open accounts, of which 250 were active within the last week.

Member 8865 just registered. That means that active users are 3% of the total. That's a lot of lurkers

we're coming up on our 10,000th member! somebody buy some confetti!

Maybe people are just waiting for the right time to post. It was something like 6 years before I made my first post here

I'm in the minority for join date on open accounts. Of course it only looks like that because everything is minority to the last 3 months by definition of open account.

I thought we're going to sacrifice our 10k member. Our soon-to-be mascot-overload will be needing an offer that will suffice.

So how do some people post, with sign up dates in 2000 and 3 posts total?

A lot of people come, ask a question, get an answer, and leave. Or not even post at all.

How many open/active accounts are there that are not less than about 3-6 months old? I.e. all the active accounts that not active just because they were opened in the last few months...

The second chart shows that. Around 22 people from "day 1" are still here, and so forth. The last three months have the most open accounts by far (not surprisingly, since by definition they all are open).
