I am being told that is the wrong greeting.
WELCOME TO THE NEXUS.
You can log off any time you like but you can never leave.
..I came up with a very similar parody so long ago for a totally unrelated site. I suppose it is a reflection of the internet itself, you can log out any time you like. But you can never really leave!

75% of users registered haven't logged in for over a week, quite unfortunate.
That 75% almost certainly includes spambots who attack this place relentlessly. Not only are there multiple levels of verification needed to make sure that the new users aren't spammers, but any accounts that are registered and then do not post more than a couple of times in 90 days are deleted to keep the user list at a sane level. Its amazing how desperate a lot of spam operators are to distribute their garbage.
As for the people who decided to go elsewhere, that's their choice. They settled on a chatroom service that allows for much faster interaction than forums usually provide. I personally dislike that sort of scheme because it inevitably becomes a circlejerk that ends when the people involved get so tired of one another they start to fight and decide to leave. We basically don't talk about it at all on here anymore, since everyone makes their own choices in life and its better to just let things like that be as they are.
