Solid Proof that Alphabay actual userbase is 1/3 of what is listed

Solid proof that AB is inflating their tires big time, here is a pic of Evo forums user base a few days prior to the exit scam:

Keep in mind this isn't rush hour, rush hour was something along the lines of 600-800, somethimes even 1000.

Now let's take a look at AB at rush hour:

It never went above 200, NEVER! If you are frequent on the forums and you drop your eyes on that counter every now and then you know it's true.

All of this is verifiable by each and everyone of you, just download gwerns mirror of evo forums and verify.

I said my piece.

I am asserting with no evidence that there may be a significant correlation between total registered users and number of active forum users

This is all you said. There is no proof of anything.

What difference does it make?

now this is something that interests me

yesterday another alphabay exit scam post got made, i got sick of reading them and posted my thoughts back. i stand by the things i said. no i wasn't active user of this sub during the evo scandal but i knew many who used them and the concern of an exit scam was never once mentioned alongside the glowing reviews i got from dozens of different acquaintances.

however, ive noticed the fact that alphabay seems to pad their listings out. i realised this for the first time about an hour before someone made a thread about the issue a few weeks/months (who knows where the time goes) back. i posted on it then that i agreed with the claim that the results were padded. i haven't done a thorough check lately but at one stage they definitely appeared to be more listings than actual drugs

trappy came and gave an explanation that didnt seem satisfactory but the issue seemed to fade away after that (or at least it wasnt pursued in the same way the 'exit scam' claims have been)

Isn't that a good thing? I'd rather they not have as many people as evo- so they are less tempted to exit scam.
