Stats on active & merit status of Donators & VIPs

A painful fact is many VIP/ Donator member accounts got hacked, changed hands, turned to scammers or left the forum.

Ay! Not sure if I ever took notice of that thread, so thanks for linking to it.

For as long as I've been here I've apparently been unaware that there was that much turnover of Donator/VIP accounts--though it probably shouldn't come as a shock to me. Account selling was very much tolerated up until the point where people started to realize how harmful it could be, and there was that huge hack back in 2017 from whence so many bounty shitposters got the seed to start their horrible careers.

Jesus, I think I remember that whole thing going down from my lurking days. That's definitely a username I'm familiar with, whereas many of the other ones don't even ring the faintest of bells.
