I spent some time today cleaning up the membership list. Basically, accounts marked as "Not Active" were purged. A new account is in this state until the new user replies to the verification email (auto generated). So, if you signup for an account and never receive this verification (due to spam filters, or other issues), send me a direct email so I can activate the account. Accounts that are never activated will be periodically purged. This means that the membership list is more reflective of the people who are actually around (even as lurkers), unlike the inflated counts you may have seen in other forums!

By the way, since it seems like everyone these days is indeed using an alias for a user name (and not first initial, last name, or any form of that), I'm dropping that as the preferred form of ID...the people have spoken! 
Your friendly admin may even turn up with a new alias, who knows...

Ok, here we go with the new alias, just so everyone knows who it is when they see it - you won't see as much from the "djones" ID anymore.
