How many members does the Tickling Forum really have?
I see all these threads about how hard it is to find ticklees or tickers, ....hell, I've met over a thousand people in my life, and haven't got a
hint of a hint that anyone was mildly interested in tickling.
Yet, at this point, the forum had listed about a 131,000 members!
Mathematically, as that number grows and grows, AT SOME POINT, being we only have 50 states, you're going to meet SOMEONE
who is a fellow tickle lover and has the fetish!
I've always felt that there were folks who spent all day creating fake profiles to inflate the numbers, and I know there are "active" members
who have multiple profiles. (You ever notice how some video companies always have their clips commented on, sometimes, bizarrely, after months, or years, yet other
superior clips are talked about when they come out, and fade away as new material appears? I mean....COME ON! Some new member joins, and ignores all those other awesome clips,
and wants to praise some clip, that's okay, from a year or two, or sometimes even more ago! Huh?!)
I also knew for a while people were getting excited about our rising member numbers, so I'm sure some folks started creating fake profiles to artificially inflate the member roster.
(There are a LOT of "members" who have posted zero posts...like, a LOT.)
I wonder if there was a way to find out our actual member roster? .......I think other places had done that, since facebook had a bunch of fake accounts, as did twitter.
