Including me, there are six registered users online at the same time right now. That is great to see. Please talk to each other!

It’s eight users now! WOW.

Call me a cynic, but these are very unusual names, who all seem to have registered at more or less at the same time…are they perhaps all the same person?

I’m suspicious too, because almost all the established members has a patreon ID in their profile. That looks like @patreon_123123123 (obviously, the numbers vary). But the profiles of all these newcomers show @ followed by some random word that isn’t patreon and isn’t followed by a number.
The visual interface makes it clear that people should register via patreon. Clearly, that has worked for almost everybody else. There isn’t a visible link that would be easily found by most “real people” to allow them to register by any means. And it’s too much of a coincidence for what looks like about 20 people to have come to the site in such a short space of time and to have all found a way to register without going via patreon.
So it’s looking like a robot has found (or guessed) a link to a registration page that isn’t patreon but is nevertheless working to create a login ID.

It still raises an interesting question though. If multiple people are online the only way to talk to each other currently is in a forum by starting a new thread..
When Ed said please talk to each other in question how? Is there a simple chat room add on available for the site? I think that brings other issues around moderation but the question still remains.
Something else is there any merit is some sort of introduce yourself thread. Just a simple thread where people just write a little bit about themselves.
-
Yes, either start a new thread or continue existing conversations (of which there are many!). We used to have a live chat feature (in the bottom right corner of the site) but that was a total flop.
The forums are supposed to be the centre of interactions on the site, but obviously there are pages and blog posts where you can comment to. I’d only recommend DMs with people you already know from other interactions.

I deleted the 11 “members” who signed up yesterday, all on the same e-mail domain. Of the 8 I saw online, 4 were at least people I already knew from the site (so not spammers).

What was their objective? One person with multiple accounts…what were they trying to achieve? To try and somehow get access to admin permissions, or just to prove they could? Either way, a waste of everyone’s time. I’ve got better things to do..oh, and a life.

The pattern seems to be: a bot/person finds a crack in the security and creates a bunch of users, assuming that at some point that crack will be sealed. They won’t draw attention yet as that will encourage the security problem to be addressed. Instead, they hope the new accounts will blend in. Then, slowly over time, they can use those accounts to post adverts or scam inside the site. Delete one account and there are others waiting dormant.
Our advantage is that being a small site, the sudden surge of new accounts usually gets noticed.

I would like to think my nude video promoting it is bringing people to visit the site to see what else they find. Also other nude people. I wonder what other sites or platforms I could post it on and not get banned. The site would have to allow full nudity as I’m not wearing a single stitch.

I’m finding most mornings when I check into the community, I see 1 or 2 other people also online. Thinking back to earlier this year, I was often the only one here at 8-9am (UK).
Also, we are clearly forming a group of regulars, which is great to see.
