Does the members count on the bottom of the page include banned and deleted accounts?

Apparently we have just passed 19k. I'm curious if this includes banned fakefags and deleted multiaccounts or are there really 19k incels here?

Considering millions of incels around the globe and scarcity of incel forums this isn't a large number

Have you even looked at the members online list? That number barely reaches 200 each day

It factors in a lot of accounts tbh. But tbh the biggest culprit aside from banned members and infiltrators will just be inactive accounts, or registered lurkers who dont really post often if at all. In fact, a lot of people seem to register and then abandon the account as soon as they exit the tab. Or if they get RFI'd. Some people move on from the site (sadly things rarely seem to get better for most of them).

Its for this reason why I think that all the irrational fearmongering towards this site is comical. less than 20k is a tiny amount. The majority of that 19k aren't active or are very rarely active. A small amount are active regularly, an even smaller amount of that post regularly, an even smaller amount are active constantly, an even smaller amount than that post all the offensive bait (hence why you see the same names pop up repeatedly when people highlight posts). It's alarmist and pathetic to get so riled up over what is pretty much a handful of users shitposting. Imagine thinking a few hundred people have that much influence across the world... We are reject males. We have ZERO influence in society.
