why so many newbies lately?

Postby rocklobster » Thu Aug 17, 2006 7:13 am

I've noticed this site has attracted lots of newbies lately. Not that I'm complaining, but I was wondering why the sudden surge in membership.

Summer's still in for a bit for college students, and probably some high school students. I'd say that's another reason. I'm glad for all the new members, though. It's cool to have some new people running around. I love this site dearly, and want to see it keep growing.

They come in spurts... I noticed sometimes there won't be any for a while, then sometimes like 5 all come in like one day.

Well, I think (like myself) a lot of people realized they are really bored, so why not join CAA.

"In the total expanse of the human life, there is not a single square inch of which Christ, who alone is sovereign, does not declare, 'That is mine'."
- Abraham Kuyper

"God the great Creator of all things doth uphold, direct, dispose, and govern all creatures, actions, and things, from the greatest even to the least, by His most wise and holy providence, according to His infallible foreknowledge and the free and immutable counsel of His own will, to the praise of the glory of His wisdom, power, justice, goodness, and mercy."
- Westminister Confession of Faith (Chapter 5, Section 1)

-John Piper

"The very One from Whom we need to be saved, is the One Who has saved us."
- R.C. Sproul

"All of Christian life is ceaseless worship of God the Father, through the mediatorship of God the Son, by the indwelling power of God the Spirit, doing what God commands in Scripture, not doing what God forbids in Scripture, in culturally contextualized ways, for the furtherance of the Gospel, when both gathered for adoration, and scattered for action, in joyous response to God's glorious grace."
- Mark Driscoll

"Believers do not pray with the view of informing God about things unknown to Him, or of exciting Him to do His duty, or of urging Him as though He were reluctant. On the contrary, they pray in order that they may arouse themselves to seek Him, that they may exercise their faith in meditating on His promises, that they may relieve themselves from their anxieties by pouring them into His bosom; in a word, that they may declare that from Him alone they hope and expect, both for themselves and for others, all good things."
- Martin Luther

"I have to tell you first that I am ready to die. I have put my affairs in order. Your supreme weapon is killing. My supreme weapon is dying, because when you kill me, people all over Romania will read my books and believe on the God that I preach - even more than they do now."
- Dr. Joseph Ton, the exiled Romanian pastor (quoted by James Montgomery Boice)

"The best prayer I ever prayed had enough sin in it to condemn the whole world."

Yep, I agree. Summer's a good time to join a forum, since there's no real responsibility for most (especially the middle-high school crowd), and it's a good time to get to know everyone. :thumb:

It's because people are washing out of cooler sites, and the cooler sites ban in batches.

Then those who finally get in to the bottom rung tell their friends about CAA, because they weren't instabanned for their uncoolness, and thus we end up with the "waves".

And of course, we also get people who don't know of any cooler sites, so they joing here thinking in their naivety that this place is the coolest thing around.
The cake used to be a lie like you, but then it took a portal to the deception core.

We very well may be the coolest thing around, but I hope some newbies realize soon that it happened because of following rules and respect. :eyeroll: As long as they stay civil and at least try to be coherent, I'll tolerate them.

Well I joined because I was tired of being on anime sites/ forums where the talk would constantly become dirty or the content was questionable. So one day (lol last wednesday) it clicked in my head to search "christian anime" found this site and love it. Now I'm telling all the kids at my school (the ones who like anime) to join this site so that they can hear God's word at the same time

o.O

Actually, we're not really getting statistically more than usual. We *do* have more active posters among our newbies, but that's a different thing.
