Stefan100 Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 I did just discover one thing. Of about 3.881 members, 1900 haven't posted at all! And many have just been posting once or twice! Only about 480 have posted more than 10 posts! I got two questins about this. First: Where are they? Have they just registred and then "forgot" to do anything or what? And second: Doesn't this give an false view of Strategycores members? If almost one half of the "members" haven't posted at all, and few have been doing "serious" posting (I count serious as more than 10 Does not include new members).

Bomb Bloke Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Some members are what you would call 'lurkers'. These guys don't post much (if at all), but still register for the simple reason that it allows them to keep track of which threads have had posts added to them since their last visit. It is a correct calculation of how many members there are. However, it is true for any forum that this will be much higher then the amount of users you would consider active. Some folks join up, make a few posts, then leave - there's no reason to chop the excess members out. They don't take enough storage space to justify the effort involved.

Pete Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Indeed. The most accurate view of users would be to check how many have visited within the last month. That's the period of time I'd consider to be "active". If you go by that, and ignore posts, our "regular" visitors number 257. Happens everywhere as BB says though. Nothing to worry about It'll probably shoot up to around 500+ "regulars" after Aftershock is released, and then most of them won't post again after a few weeks. Doesn't bother me and doesn't slow the system down any Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TYR Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 So guys, where are the veterans, anyone seen Aralez, BlackAlmaz, Fulby and the others ? Time to give a wake up call, anyone knows modding related links, infos, interviews, rumours etc about aftershock i should read ? I bet they have built you already a statue in Brno Slaughter for your efforts in the community, beeing held by Petes Statue in one, and a bottle of root beer in the other hand , lets see what they bring us i have no plan yet at all. Oh and Bomb Bloke, if i remember correctly you still ow me a TYR smily, although i cant remember what for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Aralez left sadly, but BlackAlmaz comes by once in a while. Guess he'll be back properly once Aftershock is released. As for modding information and so on, there's little to be had until after the release. For interviews I suggest you check out the ones in our Aftershock section at the site, and the latest preview I posted about. My own preview should also be available today. Statue? I like that! How are exams and alcohol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TYR Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Oh well, sad to hear Aralez is no more, although when the game is out i wouldnt wonder if the old swashbucklers crawl out of their hidings, fighting the invasion once more. Exams are like they used to be, right now doing communication science research, just dont ask me what this is in detail cux i have no plan either really Oh and the good old fellow of Stolychniya is waiting for me in the freezer until next friday when im done with exam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
