SOLDIERX.COM Reaches Over 8,000 Active Members
31 August, 2012 - 11:19 — RaTCongratulations everybody, our community is now at over 8,000 active user accounts. Technically speaking we just had our 9,523 sign up - but around 1,500 of those were determined to be inactive/spammers and have had their accounts removed. We actively prune accounts that spam as well as accounts that never log into the site. I can't wait to see our active user list grow to over 9,000 - but 8,000 is a decent accomplishment for now. We're currently growing by about 250 active members every month. Thanks to everybody who has been active in our community and to everybody that has helped to spread the word about soldierx.com.
