That's the number you gave, and of course I took your word for it. Suppose Steve and others did as well, and I still don't believe you've read it (that) wrong...

And case these numbers is correct, you'r question is a very good one ;)
while i dont remember the exact figure Henrik,the total number of registered members here has been above 900 for weeks now

perhaps the ranks of the registered get cleaned up by the mods every few weeks or so as they might be bogus accounts?

Well you sure remember my original post about the numbers of
'members' with zero posts _and_ still existing fake names?
I guess they cleaned it up again ;-)

I didn't look carefully at it again, but starting from the last site backward
already member number 823 isn't that real, because 'Dr. Hugo
Hackenbush', obviously is a role by Groucho Marx.

The mods have nothing at all to do with accepting, activating or deleting newly created accounts.
That is all done by the website administrator (Quentin).

All the mods do is deactivate an active account temporarily when a ban is required and then reactivate it once the ban is over.

Then what has happened to the missing 123 members? I am certain the figure of registered members was 955 two days ago: I made a note of it twice whilst posting in this thread.

Guenther's assumption seems the most likely explanation, but you'd need to ask Quentin directly, not me.
Cleaning out all the rubbish accounts around election time seems convenient and sensible.

The number of members with zero posts has declined from 265 to 195, which means that 53 of the 123 members who have disappeared had at least one post each.
