Do you ever mute everyone to see how empty you can make the Q&A?

@SW-User not if you're VIP...

@SW-User I mean, There are Thousands of accounts!! :|

@SW-User 5,000 blocks, 5,000 mutes...that's probably the whole site that posts.

Hmm, probably more than that because of all the randoms. It'd be impressive if someone setup a script to do it though.

@SW-User I think there are about a hundred thousand account

@SW-User I highly doubt that, I see the same 100 to 150 people here.

@SW-User Some groups already has over 50,000 users joined

@SW-User you realize after people get banned or delete their accounts they're still members of that group...

@SW-User I doubt that. Also, the ratio of banned people isn't that much

@SW-User you doubt what? That they stay part of the group? they stay part of the numbers, the admin don't go through and delete all traces of a former accounts existence here.

@SW-User I think it doesn't count deleted accounts. That's done automatically. It doesn't require any actions from admin.

@SW-User alright time to prove it to you, pick the biggest group you can see, scroll all the way down to the bottom of this group and click on "group members" it'll list everyone in that group. Purple X names are deleted or suspended account and accounts with the red circle and line through it are banned accounts. Bingo, I already found 4 banned accounts.

@SW-User but I don't see any permanently deleted accounts there. Only accounts on hiatus and suspended accounts. There's not removed from the database yet

@SW-User permanently closed accounts still show up as the name and purple X. You only see swuser and an x on posts and comments.

@SW-User why would they do that? It's a game of numbers. They want new users to see tons of members and think it's a busy site to get you to stay and not leave.

@SW-User Convinced
