So I only joined Oasis twenty three days ago, on new years. Since then, It seems like somebody new joins every other day.

Obviously, I don't consider it a bad thing. But I was wondering; is this normal?

When I first joined, it seemed like the same, relatively small group of Oasians have used this site for a few months, if not years together. So it is confusing to me that this many people sign up and never use it...

Just curious.

Maybe I'm not too qualified...

But based on my 17 week tenor, it seems that this happens sometimes with new people joining in a surge, and then some don't ever use the website again.
Some never use it again.
Some come on once in a while.
And some devote their lives to it, and post every day for years.

Oh Jeff...

If I had to correct every misused and misspelled word, my blood pressure would go up to bursting, and I imagine yours would be worse.
Why, when I do one misused word, did you have to decide to correct it?
I'm just wondering.

Easy...

I figure the people who infrequently misspell words have hope and want to change. The people where's it's just awful all the time, or reads like a text message... no hope. ;-)

Awwww Jeff

You know I love you.
THANK YOU for correcting me.
This site would DEFINITELY not be as fun without you.
I shall go back to my immaculate writing now.

I can't write like ferrets anyway... I have to think about it, and then it doesn't work.

Oasis...

typically follows school calendars. People will join a lot when a new semester starts, and then at breaks the audience sometimes changes, and the people who only post when they're at school get replaced with the people who post when they're on break, etc.

I think there are always some lurkers and when there is a wave of joining, it does inspire others.

i've been here for 27 weeks and 5 days

i joined the day after finding this site
i just wanted to find a place to rant about cute girls
and gay things without people wanting to change the subject
or feel awkward/ dont know what to say :p
sorry, mini rant
but yeah, it probably has to do with school or something
