Is BB dying a slow death? The reported numbers of "users" online is smaller and smaller. There are a reported 113 online currently. I thought 184 was bad.

The same alleged explanation was always available. It does not explain the decline, decline, decline. People like to claim BB is not losing customers -- excuse me, "users" -- by citing the overall number of teams at slightly below 20,000. However, that is a totally misleading number, including numerous second teams, third teams, fourth teams and inactive teams not yet botified. Twenty thousand actual customers -- excuse me, there it goes again -- twenty thousand actual "users" would never drop to 113 on line if the entire planet were asleep and under a total eclipse.

No reason to think there is a different percentages of future botified teams and cheating teams than before.
Also, nobody is dismissing the fact that we lost a lot of users, then recently had some stability and in the last two weeks lost again users.

Yeah, I see no difference in what you said and what I said. Nice to be in agreement, isn’t it!

It must be in the translation, then, because as far as content there is no disagreement between the two posts..

And I thought I exaggerated.

Guess what? That wasn't an exaggeration. One hundred and thirteen "users" were reported on line when I wrote that post. 113.

Think about that -- 113. That's what was reported by BuzzerBeater. That's not a number I made up.

So I don't for a moment believe there are 20,000 active teams or anywhere near that.

Edited to say that at this moment Buzzerbeater reports 159 and falling. How low will the number fall tonight?
