Like the site, and been here long enough to know what often shows up as the last post in various groups isn't indicative of the site as a whole. But to a first-time visitor seeing the hyper-partisan, racist, anti-semitic stuff might be a turn off and reason to look for a discussion site elsewhere.
While I've notice more Members on at various times, is isn't much more and still nothing to get happy about giving how many people are on discussion sites. Total number of registered members isn't how many people use the site. 152 or so on right now is how many are using the site. Maybe it's because when they log on, the post topics of things like "Do Jews Own the Media" smack of other sites like "Jew Watch" and the like.
Controversy can help, but also hurt a website. If you want more members and thus more revenue from ads you need to decide whether a troll-infested site or actual polite discussion site is what ya want. Can't really have both.
Free speech is all well and good but too-free is just code for troll heaven. A troll-riddled site will make civil discussions impossible and only be of appeal to other trolls.
