BIG SILENT AUDIENCE: 578 registered members, and 1,929 anonymous users online now

There is a name for people like you.

I understand the reasons that AC's have to be locked out, and I support it during this time, even though I really prefer to be an AC.

I am a long-time AC. I signed up recently to give a positive message to someone who sounded suicidal on a thread that was 'Members Only' posting.

I had been thinking about it for a while -anyway- because I was also afraid that AC's would soon be locked out from even reading, given the climate we are in these days.

I am one who is okay not saying much. Introverts don't 'need' to talk..unless you get them on a soapbox topic that is near and dear to their heart.

I don't need to be 'seen' -in fact- having an account feels like walking into a party -late- where nobody knows you. It's awkward and frightening...especially for an introvert.

Having an account also leaves you exposed to personal insults and bad Karma if someone gets a wild hair and takes a disliking to you or just wants to bully. Not fun.

If you are an AC, you don't have an identity, no one 'knows' you and you don't develop a 'reputation' and aren't judged.

I'm guessing there will always be people who prefer to be an AC rather than get an account.

Things go back to normal when topics and pg veiws fall and that triggers loss of money.

Curious.

Thought provoking.

Loves exchange of ideas.

For starters.

Around here the name for people like you is "a boor". And probably a bore as well.

What about the new normal? Isn't this the great reset?


Was there ever an old normal anyway?

The bolded inference is subject to a great deal of error, as a function of several larger-magnitude random variables.

if T is total users today observed, presumably you're saying

(400 + 150) / T = 400 / 2500

150 = 400 * T / 2500 - 400 = 400 ( T/2500 - 1 )

where the 400 and 2500 surely fluctuate a lot and not in perfect ratio. So the estimate of 150 could be way off.

Big band was the boss.

Yes, I gave it my best guesstimate without deeper data analysis.

Kind of crazy.... Even if the banned was lifted I think most would still be just watching. Most watch in every forum. And if it is juicy enough with just the right amount of drama, they will repeat it in someway or form.

Really? Then you have a weird following. Cool

Why is it so different when a site has A/C posting?

So I was off a bit in my guesstimate but knew it was significant.

There are those AC's out there who add much value when they post but they just won't register to do it. They are missed.

The other rabble, well, nice to take a break once in a while from their contributions and I am sure they feel the same about me.

They're behind the gates.

For now

Tuckers on.

Wish there was a comment section on his livestream.
