How Big is Apolyton?
With it's twenty six thousand members, Apolyton is a virtual city on the internet. It's an immense community with a hierarchy and friendships and feuds. It's amazing how much like real life it resembles.

Anyway, what I want to know is, are communities like the one here at Apolyton normal? Are we unique? Are we larger than average? smaller? in the middle?

I'm curious. I don't frequent many other forums so I don't really know what the rest of the internet is like.

How big is Apolyton?

Edit: Ack, I spelled it wrong!

'poly seems more active then most of the other forums I visit so I guess it shouldn't be considered average. There are a number of other places with just as many members though.

many of those members are DL's. Close to 10 of them are my DL's. Although it seems like Ass Clown has been permanently removed from the list- my other old DL's are still listed (note to moderaters. you already know all my DL's. I have never created anymore)

'Poly is size 14, which is quite a bit larger than size 3.

Did make a good point however, we are like a community or small city in alot of ways. We have our in fighting, our private fueds, our friendships, our loves, our hates, baby's being born we congratulate, deaths we morn, loves and marriages and birthdays and holidays we all celebrate together. Intersting point

Wasn't there a city for sale in California on e-bay? Why don't we all buy it, and just move everyone from Apolyton there. Imagine the fun we could have .

I just get images of the Simpson's episode where MENSA takes control of Springfield. Good episode.
