Since only an extremely small fraction of all members in these kinds of forums are actually active (posting/contributing or for that sake even reading), I'd rather say the most important/interesting metric is the number of active members, or even easier the continuous number of new posts and topics. In that aspect, woodmann.com (RCE Forums) rather comes out on top. :)

Most of the sign-ups are spam. I clean them out once in a while. I'll implement a cheap CAPTCHA that will block most of them at some point. I've simply been to lazy. In general the site needs an overhaul but I haven't really had the motivation to do so just because usage hasn't been as high as I expected. In general if I don't push friends and colleagues to write papers and submit solid content, it doesn't happen.

Hi dELTA! :)

Talking about woodmann.com, the last thing that i read was the topic "good binary profilers", and i saw the L.Spiro with his amazing skills.Like you said the pedram made one nice thing too, the pStalker.

As you see i'm still a reader, i hope one day help with something more concrete.

Since i'v started with RCE, about 5 months, i'v discovered a bunch of nice contributors.

Here, the Kris Kapersky with his unbelievable contributions, the amazing topics and researchs of RolfRolles, and others that have done nice things too, except that they are a bit busy =p

In the reverse-engineering.net i saw a really skilled guy named "kao", TiGa helping people in any level of knowledge, and others that help support the community like Zero.

In the woodmann.com i see a lot of people that have great experience, the efforts of dELTA :)
the skilled ZaiRoN, Daniel Pistelli, Alex Ionescu , and others

Perhaps thats a big community :)

hehe rather funny / serious

i clicked users to check the profile of dennis elser in his latest post

and i notice the forum is filled with 6% people from afghanistan

408 6% Afghanistan

now is every GiJoe hanging out there a reverse engineer ?

what are they reversing ?

pedram you should really clean up this crap

Honestly folks. At the end of the day - who signs up means nothing - it is those that participate that matter.

If you care about the user percentage statistics, all of you should have more than ample talent to scrape the users and calculate the real from the false and run your own statistics.

Obviously, there will be more "individuals" from Afghanistan if they are fake since it likely appears first on the list. Quite honestly, if this is the most important thing to the OpenRCE community, we have a much bigger problem.

Perhaps a better solution would be to just remove this as a feature then there would be a proper focus on involved discussions and information exchange instead of random and somewhat petty statistics that truly mean nothing, since I can readily change my country of origin anyway.

thanks aeppert for replying back

im not saying that this is the most important problem
what i imply is that these things tend to make the forum appear even more dead

already almost an year has passed since we saw an article in front page

questions or discussions are few and far and most of them arent exactly invigourating subject matter

what i implied problem in my post wasnt about some fake registration by some script kiddie with a crap bot

it was about actively preventing or appearing to prevent
the cobwebs that have started sprouting allover

regards
