I know that celebrating this can be disappointing because of all the ghosts throughout this site. But hey, it's still a milestone. Better than nothing.

And I think that Exit Path is dragging users in the AG community because you need a AG account to save progress. Right?

Nah, that'll only happen once someone *cough*Knight*cough* sees that we're getting close to it.


From what I'm see, we will never reach one million threads. It'll take years.

Just because an account has 1 AP, doesn't mean it becomes a non-ghost account.

And yes we have reached the 500k mark, but this is nothing to get excited about. As we said. Many of these accounts are "ghost" accounts. Unused at all.

True. But a milestone is a milestone.

Yeah. Right now, I think we only have about 40,000 threads. 1 million threads will take a really really really long time to reach. I'd probably be already gone by then...

A ghost account is a user/ account that has never been used, or has been used to the person quit and it turns into a ghost. Get it?

But by this definition, people who use it (their accounts) to look at comments only, aren't ghost accounts, is this correct?

I think they would still be ghost accounts. Because they don't do anything except just look at it. It doesn't change their AP nor profile. So, I think they're still ghost accounts.

But if we deleted them, then they will make more to look at comments, and it would be counterproductive, we might get rid of thousands of ghost accounts though so cool.

The AG stuff, as I've noticed, has not look into the ghost accounts problem.

The ghost accounts do take space though.

I also wonder if Graham did Howmanyghosts, Imma check.

They have more important duties, as previously discussed.

Yes. But you never know. The AG staff, might be able to have time to work on the ghost accounts.

We will see. If they will work on it.

I would help but I don't think I'm authorized. -Looks at License that came from the CrackerJack box-
