And during giveaways? How sure are you that noone has an extra chance or
two in the lottery draws?

How many? It hardly seems fair to rank the popularity of your forum based
on people who haven't even participated in it.

But the mere existence of the post-count reward system still artificially
inflates the total post-count over time. People start finding ways to boost
their count to earn the next little "cookie" by getting in on every thread they
can, whereas without the icons and titles and such they'll be more likely to
only post when they feel they've got something worth contributing.

I believe the quote I was replying to was "the most popular lego-based site
on the internet." Not your statement, but I never said it was.
Anyways, the whole idea of comparing total quantities of BZP "members" vs.
LUGNET "members" is a bit skewed, as the current total of official members on
LUGNET probably still refers to paid memberships, which would be more accurately
compared to BZP Premiere Members. I'm not sure if there's a public tally of
total number of registered LUGNET users, but that'd be a more equivalent
comparison to the basic BZP member. And now that the whole confusion about what
LUGNET membership involves is being cleared up, I expect there will be a steady
influx of new blood throughout the next year.
