As LoyceV confirmed, some four percent of the bitcointalk.org registrations have been nuked. It's the same thing, it goes on in the background - you just don't hear about it happening.
My data is far from complete, I don't have any data on bans for most of the time this forum existed.
Out of
2,745,342 users,
61,917 have been Nuked (2,26%), and
141,411 have been Autobanned (5,15%). The real numbers are probably much higher.
