staggering stats :(

[Chris]

so on the members list, there's less than a page and a half of members with over 100 posts and there's nearly 3 and a half pages of members with zero posts (approximately 115 members) i never realized how few people actively participate in the forums. our member count is more than slightly inflated by those 115 people who never posted (possibly joined just to see the members lounge). I really thinkg we need to find a way to boost participation with all out members. we talk about expanding but its useless to get people to join who will enver post inn thier lives, so i think we need to instead, find a way tog et the poeple who have already signed up to participate.

anyone have any ideas?

I think that all comes with time. We're new, and don't really have a lot of pertinent information . . yet Those non posters and guests will come back in time, I think. I'm planning to do a few DIY writeups in the next few days/weeks, so maybe that can help some. Harry's current mods should result in some pretty exciting posts as well. If we stick to it, we'll get this baby off the ground soon enough.

Yeah, I'm not too worried. You have non-posting members on all forums.

unitedbimmer.com stats say (~475 members):
"Most users ever online was 526, 06-16-2005 at 05:31 PM."

and

Bimmerforums.com stats say (~50,000 members):
"Most users ever online was 1972, 05-27-2005 at 11:11 PM."

Something wrong with the stats

I'm saying the average online on a normal day, not the max... right now there's 54 users online over there. 54/20,000 is a very low member base activity rate. Bimmerfest has 25,000 members, but 737 online right now. See my point?
