Are we still getting new members overall or is the increase from people resubbing after being banned? Not trying to be a dick, just curious.

I think that bigpeeler.

Or am I getting janitors mixed up.

Just looked these up out of curiousity.

HumperMonkey was the ex-military goon who had some cool and funny stories of being in the service.

bigpeeler was the zoo janitor/caretaker, who might be dead(?).

Bruiser was the street sweeper dude. Entertaining stories but tipped his hand with an epic tale about a girl dying in his arms or something like that.

Also I forgot there used to be a front page (lol what front page etc) feature rounding up the best of the forums. http://www.somethingawful.com/forum-fridays/

i think part of it is shifting usage habits. imagine how many people used to surf the web and hang out on AIM/ICQ/whatever on their desktops/laptops. now imagine how many people don't even really have computers any more because they do everything on smartphones/tablets; i was talking to someone last night who said she hasn't had a computer for like ten years. she's like 30 years old and she just doesn't have a computer, no big deal.

the ~world wide web~ isn't as big a thing as it used to be, which to me means it's less likely people are going to find out about something awful and then decide to pay :10bux:
