Zero. I also tell new converts to run like the devil from this place.
However, while you may believe that the membership has been decreasing for a year, I have news for you. Some of us have been keeping up with the membership statistics, and compared to last year, the number of new members has radically changed. The number of posts year over year, the number of threads year over year, about half of what it was.
There was growth during 7-7-07. There has been a steady decline since LeeD took over. Those are the facts no matter how hard Lee tries to hide them.
The only thing that keeps CF afloat right now are the idiot rep threads. Lee could care less about new members as long as the number of posts remains marketable.
You guys are in for a painful surprise and I do not think it is going to be in the not too distant future.
