When we updated the ef system something happen. Anyone on the site that had a inactive email was kicked off the site. Why this happen I do not know. So if you signed up 3 years ago and the email address you signed up with was no longer active the system kicked you off the site. We lost a lot of people when the system did this. Some signed back up others thought they got banned. Well in fact they did get banned but not by mod or staff but by the system.
Ya its was bullshit.
Also right now there is a lot of people in school, people working a lot of hours because they thing the economy is going to crash and what ever. Even with all of this ef is still going very strong and threads on our forums still move 100 times faster then they do on almost any other forum of its kinds.
Ef has been threw slow times and fast times. One thing is for sure we always pull threw and come out on top. Still thousands of people popping threw our site each day and hundreds of active posters on all the forums.
We hit a site record this year of 9,484, members on line so Yes 2008 has been a really good year for us. This record was reached In the winter months of this year. We are now once again fast approaching these winter months and activity is slowly on the raise again.
Even with the hit ef took from the forum upgrade and the problems with the economy I foresee us braking last years record. Ef is going just as strong as always for the time of your it is. Thank you for getting involved and making this thread.
