New Registrations every day

[Ajit Basrur]

For the past few days, I observe that everyday 5 new visitors are registered. Is it sheer coincidence that everyday 5 people get registered ?

Thanks Marc. I thought that everyday only 5 visitors are registered.

Of course, almost all just get the files they want and don't participate.

That had me wondering, too!!

I may be helping a bit. If I get asked where someone can get information I send them here.

Can we have impose some eligibility criteria, like participation in (say) 5 posts before one can open any attachment ?

Did that a several years ago before there was advertising, but it tends to drive people away. Actually, even having to register drives a lot of people away.
