Quake3World

I was watching this in the last couple of days and it seems we've tripped over 20,000 members

Wonder what they're up to

20k members and no birthdays today. Shouldn't there be like 50 something?

Lies, damned lies and statistics I recon

‘There are lies, damned lies - and statistics.’

Although sometimes attributed to Mark Twain – because it appears in his posthumously-published Autobiography (1924) – this should more properly be ascribed to Disraeli, as indeed Twain took trouble to do: his exact words being, ‘The remark attributed to Disraeli would often apply with justice and force: “There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics”.’

Well, out of that 20'000, i think there are only 200 Users, 8'000 Alts ( see LawL ) and 11700 people that signed up in '99 and never came back.. then the few stragglers downloaded quake 3 and asked how to get it working.

it's sad really

Interesting numbers the AmIdYfReAk No doubt correct.

T'is sad I suppose but I when I think what they're missing here

And yes it is an interesting thought, that people still buy the game and as you said come here to get it working.

200 users? even that sounds too high, I was under the impression that there is about 40 regulars and that's very optimistic.

maybe we should have a shout out thread where everyone who is active posts and see how many posters we get within a week's time.

I just looked at the quake live nick name thread and there's just over 70 regulars ( not including the 20 or less post counters who were simply looking for an account hookup) and from those 70 I doubt half of them are "regulars"

Most of the LEM members don't visit GD. There are a few other stragglers in the other forums like Mac and Programming Discussions.

Hey. Buck up, lil pard, I'm here.

Funny you mention that obsidian.

I remember spending so much time in LEM that I didn't get to GD, and didn't dare stick my nose in The Void

to those in LEM and T&T.

My News Years resolution ~ to visit them more often

I don't like them. Small hands... Smell like cabbage.

Most of those are spam registrations. This place doesn't have CAPTCHA, so gets ton of automated registrations.

I blame QLive and the fact above

who cares
