I am reading the grandparent literally as "increase membership" which does imply that the current trend is flat and the membership numbers are not increasing.

Could be. But is Alcor really doing so badly? (Or: does James_Miller think they are?)

The graphs on this Alcor page seem to indicate that membership is in fact increasing by at least a few percent year on year, even if people are no longer counted as members after cryosuspension.

Hm. Yes, Alcor's membership is going up nicely. I don't know what James_Miller had in mind, then.
