Membership Drive Draws to a Close

Well, Howdy Pardners,

Well, it's that time of year again—the time when we pull off our boots and gloves (and probably those of any nearby folks we can hog-tie) so we can reckon a full headcount of the number of mangy varmits; lazy, swindling cokepokes; and ornery, no good galoots that signed up this week to rustle articles over yonder at the Double-? Ranch.

Wow. Only one paragraph in and I'm completely sick of the cowboy vernacular.

Anyway, here are the statistics from our Semi-Annual Triangle Ring Membership Drive:

All in all, greater than the numbers we'd projected.

The SpamBots were far and away the most prolific article writers, though we've observed a significant decline in the quality of their humour. Sadly, they were all sent to the gallows and their articles to the abattoir. The socks provided much more interesting content, though it too was mostly deleted (for tax reasons) and their accounts burned (because we were concerned some of you sillies might mistake them for actual users).

So, our three n00bies of the week: ICameHereInACloch, who we hope will make a first edit sometime very soon; Juan/Quan, who despite having a split personality does have one edit (redirecting Quan to Juan); and Witty Phantom who by virtue of writing a full article is a shoo-in for Illogicopedian of the Month.

Thank you, everyone!

  1. This confirms my suspicions about the spambots. We really should submit now to spare unnecessary pain.
