Mr Rhode Island Red Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Hello Everybody, You have probably seen some of the statistics I did about the forum before regarding membership and posts etc. but here is something a bit more visual than what I have done before. I thought it would be interesting to see how fast/slow the forum accumulated all the 14,500 members it has today. So, using the Members search section of the forum I found the following. https://www.dropbox.com/s/scn84hr5jgopfsq/Capture.JPG *The yellow call bubble should say 2011, my mistake* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperwife Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 are you a little bored today Mr RIR? It would be interesting to see how many of those members have ever posted, or regularly post (and no, im not giving you more work to do ) cathy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Stir crazy with the rain eh? Velly interlesting. But a fair few I know don't come on here much nowadays. Quite a lot no longer have chooks either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 A fairly steady rise since 2006, but looks like it is tailing off a bit now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 What that might not take into account is that a vast majority of those don't ever/no longer post. There used to be a regular clear-out of non-posters over a certain 'age', but I'm not sure if this happens any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Rhode Island Red Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 I was hoping it would give an overall trend in the number of members the forum has, taking into account the deletion of non-posters, but having checked the members section there it seem that some 7,000 of the current members are non-posters, meaning these results are now a bit flawed. Dare me to make a new one excluding the non-posters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Dare me to make a new one excluding the non-posters methinks you ought to abandon the work displacement activity and get on with the housework I have a load of ironing that needs to be done if you're bored.

Dare me to make a new one excluding the non-posters Actually you don't want to exclude the non posters. You want to exclude those who haven't logge don in, say, the last year. Lots of people may be actively using the forum but not posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Lots of people may be actively using the forum but not posting. From memory, those are in a minority, compared with those who register and never come back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
