In what way are you using the messageboard? What messageboard? (68) 31 % Only browsing the messages... (77) 35 % I read all the messages but never write any myself (29) 13 % I am a frequent writer! (46) 21 %
Poor (0) Total votes: 220 Poll started at: 01-08-11 Author: Phobiazero
I just thought it was interesting that essentially 36% of the people who visit this site never write anything on the MB. Now you can't change anything about the people who only browse (its probably better than not everyone posts), but I thought that it sucks that 1/3 of people are missing out on what is the best part of the site (imo). So maybe a bigger link to the MB than previously? Something more standout than a tiny link the same as all the other sections as in the v4 site. It's probably stupid to suggest this as things are going to be totally different in xltronic, and I imagine you are aware and have thought of this already...

31(%) don't know about it, 35 just skim it and don't post, and 13 read it all but don't post?
So, 35+13=48... 48% are just WATCHING us talk, without talking THEMSELVES?
Freaky... I feel all eerie all over... you weirdo Peeping Toms... I know you're out there! Psychos... I want a restraining order.

Yep, well think about it, there are 1316 members, If I spent an hour on it I could probably rattle off a list of 100 I've ever seen post on v5, tops. What are the rest doing? (dramatic music)
It's only sensible that there are a higher percentage of readers than posters.
And how can we forget the lovable bunch who only post and don't read =)?

Phob should do what I'm doing on my new (faster) board and implement a 'prune members' feature where if you don't post within a certain period of time (say, two months), it sends you an email warning and if there is no response, deletes your account.
If that was done, I'm sure the membership would drop well below 1000, perhaps even 500.
Lots of people register multiple accounts, or register just for the heck of it, and never use the account. Better to get rid of all of that crap I say.

Joyrex, yeah I agree, not necessarily post but at least login. I have no problem with people who want to scan without posting...they are free to lurk as far as im concerned. GL with the new board.

That's not a very good example because only about 200 people voted in it. Look at the numbers
