Over 23,000 logged on to The Community!!!

[mr_lincoln]

Over the last couple of years I have RARELY seen the number of members signed on to The Community above 10,000 ... I just noticed that as of this writing there are OVER 23,000 ...could the reasons be:

1.  Managed Payments?

2.  Foreigners showing up here?

3.  More glitches than normal?

4. Unhappy Buyers?

5. Unhappy Sellers?

All of the above

6.  Boredom?

7.  Unemployment?

8.  Cable not working?

9.  Better than cleaning the bathroom?

10.  All re-runs on TV?

I've never looked at the number before.

I would go with #1, #4, #5

Dot ca PC (Pre Covid) averaged 125 - 175 depending on time of day and current problems. Recently it has been hovering between 400 and 600.  Much of it Covid driven and MP confusion.

Idk... But you're right, I; myself haven't ever seen that large of a number, the most I've seen, in the past, was 8 to 9k.

Do you think it might have something to do with the delays in USPS deliveries?

Timing seems to suggest such. But idk?

How do you see the number of people logged in? Just curious!

I'm convinced that number is from a random number generator.  It used to always be in the range 3000-5000 until about a year ago.   It then took a sudden jump to a range of 8000-16000.   I find it hard to believe that that many peeps suddenly decided to look in on the community.

The harder it gets to get through the laborious sign-in process, the more users simply stay signed in all the time.

I'm COVERED in bruises from trying to elbow my way in here through the seething masses.
