My own DDI has lapsed a couple times, and as soon as it was the flag on my account went away (the DDI moniker on the forum) and the group DDI no longer showed up in the list of groups I was in.Obviously it isn't possible to really say if the COUNTER for the number of group members is really accurate or not. Those sorts of things could be quite far off either because it never decrements, because it just isn't that reliable, because the number has been changed in the course of various updates and whatever of systems, etc. Having run many commercial web-based services myself I am not one to put TOO much stock in counters like that, chances are the admins of the site don't worry about their accuracy much, and its hard to say how they are calculated or if they always work right.Still, it is the only number we have, aside from just personal observation. Mine is still that people are using DDI at least as much as ever. Over time I've observed that the people I play with have tended to realize just how super handy it is and sign up. At first there was much skepticism, but I think it is slowly becoming a sort of ordinary part of people's game play.</blockquote>
