This chart shows a very interesting trend. While applications are coming in at approximately the same rate as normal, the number of new members being invited per month has been steadily decreasing while the rate of current members adding new alts has increased.

The large spike in the middle of the graph is the burst of applications that we received after Curt Schilling announced that we were a "drama-free guild". The current application restrictions were put in shortly after that.
