All of the new registrations that are shown have not been activated. There haven't actually been any new activations since well before this tournament was first mentioned. A large number of the registrations are from bots, and distinguishing between the legitimate registrations and the bots takes time, which is one of the reasons registrations have been taking time to activate recently. he regular interface shows the newest registration; the Premium interface shows the newest activation. right, i was looking at the premium interface. all the gibberish users had profiles, you could PM them, etc. You want links? No need for that; since they aren't active they wouldn't be able to log in to read PM's anyway. Look at the bottom of the main forum page to see the newest activated member (currently baseball girl); the ones shown on the member list are registered but not necessarily activated. I think I was a bit misleading with my comments on regular vs. Premium. I was referring to the newest member shown on the main forum page, not what you see when ou click on the member list. gotcha. sorry to derail my own thread....they looked like bot registrations to me, just making sure.
