funny statistics

[zooplan]

Posts in the forum are like money in the world!

Ten percent of the listed members (630)wrote more than 80 % of all entries, but half of all (142410) were postet by only 15 people ( 0,2 % of the registered members(8072))

38 members became "old and wise snakes" since july 2006 and half of them joined the forum within it´s first year.
One-hundred and twenty-six members visited thamnophis.com in the last month and ten of them signed up for the first time and wrote at least five posts.

weird? useless?
But may change the point of view!

Interesting statistics. I wonder have they compare with other forums of this type. I'm guessing they're pretty similar.
Passion and available time probably has a lot to do with it. Just my thoughts.

It'd be very interesting to see the drop-out rate.

More interesting would be the reasons for those drop-outs.

I would have to believe either changes in their lives or the snake they were seeking help for died.

The ones that confuse me are "I discovered face book" (heard that a few times now)

Oh, I can think of a few reasons. Mostly ones that I don't give a crap about.

Come on Stefan, let it out.
Tell us how you really feel:D

Let me put it this way: Good riddance.

Of course there are exceptions.

So .... where do we draw the line? .... should we be imposing a curfew on not returning? .... or have a spring clean?

Not worth the trouble.

[gregmonsta]

:rolleyes: might clear some server space though.

[Stefan-A]

They don't take up much space and space is cheap. If time is money, it's literally not worth the trouble.

Most of the older members had one or a few times of absense, but returned with new energy and fresh ideas.
Others had asked and later answered each FAQ´s and turned down to stop by frequently.

I don´t mind all the inactiv members, they´ll have a second chance (if they remember thier pass:D)
As Stefan says: Space is cheap!

Remembering login id and passwords may be part of the problem.....:o I'm guilty of that on other sites.

Fortunately, it's usually possible to recover the password and username, as long as you remember your e-mail address. :D

I was inactive for a long while, but as I've gotten deeper into the snake hoppy I've gotten into this and another 2 forums, more this one and www.cornsnakes.com only because I have garters and corn snakes. I do more browsing of posts and pictures then I do posting myself, unless of course I have something good to say or a question to ask, etc...
I have told many people about this site for mostly the soul purpose of them being interested in purchasing Garters for pets or as to give them a link for care sheets. I am no where close in order to ship a couple garters that I'm selling for $20-$30 CAD across the country where it could cost double the initial price for shipping. So I send them a link and tell them that they could probably find someone closer and with a bigger variety of Thamnophis.

Come on Stefan, let it out.

Now wait a minute. When I do that, I get myself into trouble and get everyone biting my head off. Sometimes it's just better if you don't know how someone really feels about certain things. I must admit I sometimes can't resist ignoring that fact and open my mouth anyway.

Very interesting stats Udo. I don't think I like that last one. Less than 30% voted even though they viewed the contest? Terrible.

i truly hope that there will be no restrictions put on inactive members
i say this for two reasons, the first has already been alluded to, the fact that so much can affect a persons ability to take part in the day to day site activity's
relationship problems. moving [home, city, state,] education, the list is vast
but for me the main reason is it would be against the whole ethos of this site,
WHICH IS a group of very friendly very welcoming people with a mutual passion.
the message should surly be, you will always be one of us and are welcome back when you are ready. :confused:

Sorry for mistating:
The photo constest thread has 352 views/30 days = 10 views/day
it´s impossible to say how many unlisted members, listed members and guests had a look at it and how many times! ( without reading billions of login files or writing new algorithms for "big brother" )

82 listed members were online in the forum while the polls were running.
