Originally posted by johnnylongwoodyYes, many of those who opened an account are long gone, but at least we have an idea of how many have been opened so far. But it doesn't tell us how many active accounts are still in use, so that user ID number isn't overly useful.
Lots of those accounts are moribund.
As for multiple users, well that's against the TOS isn't it?
How do they combat that?
As far as having multiple accounts, yes that is against the TOS.
Once admin finds someone using multiple accounts they can remove them or at least deactivate the account. The offender may be banned from the site as well.

Without a healthy revenue stream, marginal income dwindles.
When marginal income dwindles, net profitability suffers.
When net profitability suffers, over an extened period of time, site net worth goes south.
When a site's net worth goes south, it's operational plug gets pulled.
The day a site's operational plug gets pulled... things go dark.
When things go dark, all the patzers and conversational denizens pack up their avatars
and thumbs and go to the site employing the moderator who reported the demise.

Please help us understand how you "smell a hidden agenda".
Looking at the OP's forum posting record I smell a hidden agenda here. Site membership and player statistics aren't exactly published in newspapers.
