It is a fine acheivement.
Regretably an analysis of the member base suggests that whilst our membership is growing, participation is not keeping up:
10% of registered members have never actually logged in
58% have never posted (inc the 10% who have never logged in)
23% have posted less than 10 times
The top 10 posters, including myself, have contributed 17% of the total posts, and of that top 10 I'd suggest three of those members have left or would rarely contribute now.
I would love to understand more about why someone might join but never post, or who drop out quickly.
I don't believe that post count is the best reflection of interest, it may simply be an indicator of how bored you are at work or home
, so I haven't published these stats to encourage people to post up necessarily. I have gained so much knowledge from this forum, but by far my greatest gain has been the friendships I have developed.
You don't have to post up, but I do encourage all members to get involved. Go to a meet, organise one yourself. It doesn't matter if you've been a member on here for 5 minutes; if you'd like to put your hand up to go somewhere and invite along others folks you've never met or would like to meet again, GO FOR IT !!!
