It was only a couple of months ago we were toasting 5000 members. We're now closing in fast on 6000 members. Who will be the lucky 6000 member?
-
Its nice to say we have 6000 members but unfortunately there is very few active members.
-
As member 1551 - I feel old!!
I wonder the number of truely active members?

I presume that someone will be able to do some queries on the DB to show counts of users who have posted in the past x days.

Well I see 5 active in this thread already. Long way from 6000 but a worthy start. Now how many are blokes and how many are sheila's. That would be an interesting statistic too.

I think of myself & also think of myself as an active merber though I could get involved in posting even more ! ;D
-
Well I won't be the 6000th member, but I am an active contributer....
-
Hey Kit-e, still more fellas posting on this forum

today there was 604 and still counting members who log on the forum. Not everyone posts but still active in visiting the forum.
I will see if I can look at posts.

I dont log on as it is my home page and have log in deatils and password saved. Opens straight up to the main page.

I visit every day. Just have to get the better half to post as well. I do need to find the time to post more. :cheers:

I have been a member since mid 2007!! I visit every day, and sometimes I post and sometimes I just visit.

I did a bit of searching, and of the 5700+ members currently, 3321 members have NOT posted anything. This is interesting, and that's all. No need to change anything, members can contribute as much or little as they please, though the forum is enriched by more contributors.

As a FEMALE member of only 6hrs and 12 mins i do alot more reading. So many old posts with many great ideas to learn from. I have posted a couple of times asking questions, but yeah for now i am happy to read up on things that interest me and make me laugh. I have only been a member for about 2 weeks i think. Though all the reading i have done feels so much longer. But have learnt heaps that i want to put into action. Best thing i did was joining. Hubby can have his fishing ones, i keep this lol.

If you have done that then the browser does the logging on for you - so you do in fact still log on, even though you don't have to type it in manually.

Is there any chance you can bulk PM those and just give them a nudge - like in *Hi Hope your enjoying the forum would love to hear more from you - regard the MySwag Team* or some thing like that..
Like you say, it's no big deal but I do like it when we get some newer questions - swings and roundabouts though,Ii know. Worth a shot though IMO
-
I've got a few ideas.
-
I remeber back in the beginning when we got so excited that we got to 100 members........my how it has changed :cup:
Well done everyone and let the fun times continue :cheers:
-
6000 members has been reached, congrats to the best forum going round :cheers:

One of the forums I administered for the UN had an automatically generated email reminder go out to members who had no activity for three months and if they didnt become active (at least use the site) by 5 months they were moved to the inactive list and would have to reapply and change passwords to become active again. It was a great way to clean up the site and get rid of deadwood.

i think a lot of people are using the site to lurk and learn. there's no real point in forcing people to post just to keep themselves active, surely that just leads to padding posts? IMHO of course
(padding post) :)

As were talking about it I'd say I'm in the same category as Brett above. I'm on most days especially days like today when it's 40+ again (into the 2nd week now and no end in sight) and on days like these here in Coober you can't do much but watch the box (thank god for sport) or get on the puta. A little bit more active on here at the moment as we are waiting for a new Cub Brumby (mid may ??) and looking at various things re that. All good and sometimes very bloody funny.

the UN?

United Nations
Also I didnt mean they have to post, just looking did keep members active, as long as they are doing something. The ones we were trying to filter out were the ones that did nothing over a long period of time.
-
what sort of forums do the UN run? i'm intrigued...

Response and coordination of humanitarian aid to emergencies and the preparedness and training of personnel to respond as UN representatives to these emergencies.

I couldn't agree more.
I've been a member on a few different boards over the yr's, mostly to learn about whatever situation took me there searching. I wasn't interested in becoming 1 of their 'family', just the info to keep me moving forward.
I believe forums are about the quailty of the ppl & the info they give so freely...never about the quantity of the membership.
It's also unfortunate that I see so many boards these days require you to register before you get to see if the site is even useful to you ::)

Brett/Jules/other Moderators.
An innocent question for you. Does it cost any more to have a stack of inactive visitors/drones/whatever/ on this site?
My Swag is such a friendly site, very little friction (electrical aside and some blow ins from ExPlorOz) - yes I am a member there too.
I really find it irritating to be reminded I have not regularly contributed to some sites (Aus Photography for one) or have not logged in, eg LCOOL, to see what cruisers are for sale (don't tell the Minister for War)

Jam packed full of Speewarisims (cop that spell checker).

I'm pretty much like you, I joined about the second or 3rd month of the forum starting, I don't post as much as most here, but I'm here most days looking.
I think Bushman was the first to post on the forum.
I just checked, I joined May 20th 07, the forum started May the 18th, aaahhh fun days ;D

There may be more active members than the actual count - ie partners using the same login because the forum won't recognise two user ids on the same IP address.
Mr yoda was the first to find this place, but Mrs yoda has gatecrashed and outposted him by a long shot! ;D

6000 seems so long ago... :D
