I'm with cmminis on this one - WOW! All those ghost stores! Now if the time invested into those would be spent actually building a viable business site! I was thinking maybe 10-20 of 'em, but wow!
First reaction - shock
Second reaction - anger (that I stayed as long as I did!)
Third reaction - sad (that anyone could be so heartless to use another being in a get rich scheme - cuz lets face it, the man is bringing in good bucks each month!)

You started at WP about the time I left but your name is familiar to me from other sites. Glad to have you join us.
Truth, the list I'm compiling doesn't include the 'maybe' or 'conned' stores. I've just been tracking the bonafide, 100% dishonest ghost stores that get switched off and on regularly. I'm also still not finished researching and putting a completed list together. 25 ghost stores have been officially retired by KaRay since the first of the year. They had all been used so I'm guessing became throw-aways.
So far I have uncovered 34 more that are dormant but ready to be used if/when the poppers get nervous about the falling store count. I can post links to these in increments or all at once when I've finished my research. I'll let you all decide.
There are many, around 40 that are currently included in the active store count. Most of these I'm pretty sure are not legit but a few I'm reserving judgment on. So my for sure list is half of yours but you could be right about the overall numbers.
