As said many times above, there are registered trolls, so that doesn't hold water. And as you have been corrected many times, there are limits on said registered trolls, as rjhenn mentioned. I do not need correction, I am always correct. And once again the so called "limits" do not change any facts: there are the trolls that need correction however, as I just did.

I joined January 13th, and the Main Page shows me as the LAST newbee that registered here, that is ALMOST at month ago . These Boards wont last much longer with this traffic. A shame Most of the traffic is the Politics Area, and that here, and everywhere else is Garbage.

Google and Baidu spidering the site also counts as a guest visitor each.
The accountability problem is the "0 Staff" problem not "470 Guests".
Problem with the forums is that there is no focus, wants to be too many things at the same time. It used to be a bunch of people who care about gas prices. Now it's a bunch of people who want to disparage and remove visitors.

First of all, it's worth noting that BP is the same poster that at That Other Place, was originally 'roteque' and got himself banned. He came back as BadPetroleum and mostly spammed the college sports forums, opening many threads that only he posted to. I don't know he is doing that here, but he seems to have retained his trademark snark.
Certainly, over time regular posters to GBO will stop posting. But how do we get new users?
I post links to GBO daily when I post to the news topics at That Other Place. But most of those posters just make their posts and move on, without reading what anybody else posts. And sooner or later, the news topics at That Other Place will be removed. At that point, we will likely have all the posters we are going to get.

I'm glad someone brought that up. roteque did get banned and reincarnated himself as @badpetroleum and now is here doing the same thing. Lovely isn't it.

<<<The only reason to not register is so you can troll without limit. Responsible posters register.>>> Folks like scoutmaster and GasHole (the ones mentioned in the poll on this board) seem to be (in MY opinion after reading the topics I read where they had participated) examples of registered members that would tend to drive new members away. They are quick to attack and slow to read and try and understand where the other was coming from, and like to try and have the "last" word. Two like them in a topic will doom the topic almost every time. The fact that the moderator/originator of this site seems to have mostly abandoned any sort of moderation (evidenced by the fact that the poll still remains as a point to divide members and membership)leaves me wondering what this place will look like in another 6 months. There are a lot of dead boards/sub boards with NO activity that could be trimmed. Many of more serious topics have little or no activity. IMO, what drives new members away is posts likes this one from a person who doesn't register. One who can come in here and spew without repercussion. Non-members like POLLOBSERVER are the reason one should have to be a member to post here. And this post seems very similar to a particular individual from the midwest who posted on the GB forums. I'm not surprised this individual didn't register for this site. There is no moderation here.

Looks like you're posting without repercussion anyway, so what's your point, your constant attacks towards others are driving people away. In fact, since you are a registered representative to this forum, you're representing it...and ruining it. Guest posters do not represent the the forum.

That doesn't mean I represent this site. Big difference.
