AG has acquired almost 400,000 accounts, while most of them are just ghosts its pretty cool that we have gotten 400,000 people to want to be a member of the AG community. any thoughts on the topic.
and no one post that they don't care, if you don't care don't post.
I don't care, but I will explain why: AG is actually nearing 600,000 members, but that doesn't account for (no pun intended) the thousands of members who have not actually confirmed their account, as well as the hundreds who have been banned.
I was going to revive the old, 300,000 accounts thread. But it has seemed to disappear.
My take on this is simple. It doesn't really matter if AG has 400k accounts. Half of them are ghost and a massive majority of them are either inactive or active but invisible. What I really care about is the number of visitors to this site.
Darn inconsistencies. Is there any possible explanation for that?
Banned and unverified accounts don't show up as legitimate accounts, so I guess that's the reason why they aren't added into the actual numbers. Same thing how when you look up a banned member it shows as a 404 saying that it was never there to begin with, and that if you type in an unverified account it shows up the same way.

Yes, as a matter of fact, there is. When a user registers, they automatically get an ID number, but if they ignore their confirmation email, they don't get their own profile (yet, for some reason, they get a comment page...), so they don't get counted as an actual "user".

Thank you for that Frank, it helped. Yay, seven words.
Its a good accomplishment for the site. Just we all wish it were 300 at least thousand of those being active accounts. Still good and we are hoping for 500,000 and maybe a millon.

It took just over two years for 400k "listed" accounts. If AG keeps putting out games, and Flash remains the dominant medium of browser games, I think it'll be alive when there's a million.
It seemed like only yesterday we reached 100000 accounts. *looks up* that's almost what loloynage said... Not intended.
To be honest, not really a good reason to post a topic. I don't know, it just seems odd. But the more users, the more popularity, the more games, the more money AG makes, the more AG can do, the more users, and the paradox continues in all eternity...
