I rarely look at Clown Posse but as folks were talking a look at it tonight I took a look around. This poster, Columbo, did a FANTASTIC job compiling stats on Free Republic registrations and posting. It's obvious from his data that FR is vastly inflating their membership numbers. We all assume this (I think) but it's great to see it backed up by solid research. Some of you might find this interesting or enjoyable to contemplate:

I know one thing from studying Forum Softwares on my own private Apache server to look for one I might use on my own forum when I start it again as a full website. Several of them allow for the creation of artificial members in order to test the Banning/Post Editing/Moderator Status controls. It has long been my contention that JimRob, JohnRob and the "Mod Squad" use this artificial member creation ability to inflate the membership and also to make most of the "ZOT- Kitty" posts that do not originate with DemocraticUnderground or ClownPosse THEMSELVES. These "ZOT-Kitty posters are basically created in order to divert Freeper flame figths tendencies to these fictional "liberals" and away from Howlin, nopardons, BobJ, Doug from Upchuck, sexual stalkers and other objectionable posters JimRob allows on FR because of the money they donate.

That's really interesting, CS, I had no idea that there was so much psychology involved or such mind games. I figured FR was a hollow shell at this point, but you've added a lot of insight.
