From http://www.salon.com/mwt/letters/2005/10/13/realdolls/index1.html: When I read this article, the first question that occurred to me was: "Why is this the top feature of the day?" The author, Meghan Laslocky, cites a Web site ("Hello Dolly") with all of 12,000 members. Twelve thousand? Are you kidding me? In Internet terms, that's beneath the underground. It doesn't even qualify as a subset of an alternative community, and yet this article is written as if "Doll Love" is somehow indicative of something sweepingly occurring among modern men.How many members do we have?

Well, if the user list is to be believed, we have 3773. I'd like to know how many people regularly post and how many are lurking on average.

I'm a daily lurker. I have the occasional post but they are very few and far between.

I voted Poster, but lately I've been more of a Lurker. My posting has drastically slowed down; though, I'm not sure I can really explain why.

If 12,000 isn't even a subset of an alternative community, than that must make us an exclusive cult of holdout enlightened-ones from a dying ("Rio") subset of an alternative (ICE) community.
Heck, there must be endangered species with greater numbers than us.

Over 3700 members... If we each put in $2.00 we can get 1 doll with 2 faces and still have enough left over for a few spare wigs.

Fine, but I'm not paying if I have to use it after you.

I believe the proper term is "Sloppy Seconds". Very sloppy.

Gee, I was gonna say I'll put in my $2 if you guarantee I never have to use, see, or hear about it.

One of the more creative types can install an empeg in her - that will get around the problem of new vehicles lacking DIN-capable dashes. Plus it will always look like you're cruising around with a passenger.

So that means you can have an Empeg in your car, and use car sharing lanes, and look popular all at the same time. Nice solution.

I can only say that I'm really glad that radical fem-dollists don't frequent this BBS.
