How come new admissions are frozen but the number of members keeps creeping up? October 13, 2001 11:41 AM Subscribe
How come new admissions are frozen but the number of members(12322 when last I checked)keeps creeping up? Asylum seekers? Sleight of hand on the part of undesirable aliens? I think we should be told...
i think i know why the numbers are going up. i also think we should keep it a secret.

Any ideas on what number it was at right before admissions rates jumped?

jpoulos, I've been on a "need to know basis" since I've joined. And so far, like Voltaire's Candide, there's nothing at all I either need, know or indeed want to ask. So please don't tell me, whatever you do!
"No one wants that" must be the biggest lie I ever read. But at least I now dislike those ungrateful, worm-like and scabies-ridden fucks who want me gagged.
Why is it, John, no matter how articulate one is, there's no beating this word "fuck"?
I don't wanna know, byw...
*Shit! No explanatory email!*

Fuck is verb, modifier, adjective, noun, subject, predicate....
Escape? Please.
Fuck you, you fucking fuckless mother-fucking fuck.

Miguel, whatever you're on, I think it's time to double the dosage.

It's all lies. I've seen user numbers higher than the user count on two occasions. You can't trust anyone.

And now the numbers are going down! Sorry, everybody, it was just a jest. I blame my medication.

This thread is the strongest evidence for the cult that I have seen yet... Besides being in and of itself disturbing.

Cult? Rather, people who remember the last time this came up.

It's asylum seekers. The French have set up a refugee camp by the MeFi borders and they're making a run for it.
