My wife's 'baby' is a 1996 Ford Thunderbird. Each door on this ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) ing tank weighs more than my entire Honda Civic. I've had the doors swing closed on me several times, each of which left bruises.

The member count is currently at 14,444,783. Yet in the Spam forum, Member 14,743,769 is one of the more recent mentions. So is the member count actually the net number of members, meaning that close to 300,000 accounts have been closed? I don't imagine too many people close their own accounts, so this suggests a truly vigilant and vigorous enforcement by the site admins.

Chris needed that many test accounts.

Just a problem in catching up. Have you any idea how long it takes to count all those members?
And naturally, someone (perhaps like you) will start making noises that begin to sound like a need for a recount.
And just in case it came to mind - OG cannot do it as he's still counting (or was that counting on?) sheep.

If I may make a guess.
For the sake of selling adspace you need to actually have reasonable knowledge of the actual number of possible readers.
I imagine there is a need to prune inactive accounts occasionally.

Only 300,000 spammers?! I think some Korean astrologers beg to differ.
Or does that number reset every month?

No, that's probably about right, from the "feeling" I get in S&A.
Most spammers don't post 1 message, so you tend to get repeats, and while the volume of detected spam is increasing (as the membership goes up, so does the attraction to spammers) I think it's likely to be around 40 or so per day at the moment.

the CodeProject DNA, like that of Homo Sapiens, includes genetic ghosts of now extinct species that differentiated from the common ancestor, and then, later, interbred with the current dominant expression of the species.
Some current members clearly exhibit remarkable expression of these phantom species. I am sure you know who they are.

I've asked my mother if I have a gorilla ancestor close by in my family tree. Standing upright, the ends of my fingertips are only four inches or so from my kneecaps. I have the longest damned arms I've ever seen on a human. When I was a teenager and she would buy me long-sleeved shirts, she would buy the shirt to fit the sleeve-length and then have to take in several inches of material on each side of the torso.

And those of us who go to the spam forum on a daily (or even hourly) basis add our votes to get the spam accounts closed as quickly as we can.

Now watch some people still take a shortcut and just make that integer unsigned...they've just bought themselves another 2^31 seconds!! Job security...for your grand-children.

unsigned long long should be good for a little longer!
