If those are legit user accounts... that's just awesome!

Only Dave can answer the longevity questions, but there are clearly many people that register just to post stuff in the Classifieds forum, knowing the readership here is about as laser-focused a group one might target to sell a calculator. When you see postings there, look at the number of posts the author has made, quite often that post is author's 1st post.

Clearly many other folks join thinking they just want to find out how to fix something or get an answer to some tech issue, but then seeing how interesting and helpful this group of folks truly is, decide to stick around and become more active.

Bot accounts have happened a few times recently, but they usually are found and killed pretty quickly.
