Anyone know where the FR statistics pages are located?
I used to have the link but misplaced it.
Expose the scum and let people see how they are acting.
The light of day is what makes cockroaches scurry.
That information is no longer made public. That information has little value since the number of troll accounts has expanding at a similar exponential rate as legit signups. Signal to noise differentiation problem.
Just my observation I’d say no. See how few responses most threads have. And with the ongoing Birther takeover and the growing tendency to condemn any Republican that won’t toe the conservative line on every issue all the time I predict an increasing slide into irrelevance. JMHO, though.
FR has always had surges in membership during times of crisis. Lot’s of us signed up during the 2000 recount fiasco, more around 9-11 and during the 2004 election/ Rathergate stuff.
I do think there are more attempts at troll inflitration these days. All the more reason to appreciate the job the mods do.

BLOAT, wait, watch. Like a snake we must wait for the appropriate time to strike. (It may come, it may not.)
I’ve been telling my friends. Close your eyes and listen to what the pols and talking heads say, don’t look at who is saying it. Think for yourself.
Too many people are just going along with their “side.”
People at DarwinCentral are obsessed with FR. They keep track of this type thing over there. They probably even have a graph for this very topic.
You could ask Jim Thompson.
It’s growing. Obama better build bigger internment camps with bigger ovens.
