Title: Newbies
Post by: Mr Skrunts on 13 September 2008, 21:41:58
Just checked the date I joined, March 30th, I think there were approx 3420 members at that point.

Just glanced at the stats, annother 10 Newbies and the forum has 4000 members.  Not bad averageing over a 100 sign ups per month.

Sadly we may have allready achieved the 4000 had there not been some "early retirements"

  Nice one and a big thankyou to the Admin team for all thier hard work and support through out.   :y

What percentage of those 4000 members post regularly Scruntie.
Nearly always the same bunch of members ...it seems to me. :y
Probably only about 30 or 40 members I see on  a regular basis. :y

Some of us have been here a long time but don't always get time to sit down and post.
Unless there is a problem with the car which I need help on, then often it can be a couple of weeks between postings.  I do try to keep up with the goings on, but if I have a spare hour (rare) then given the choice of posting or pubbing guess where I am? ;D

I do agree though, 4K members and only 0.025% regularly post.

128 members are at least Senior (more than 500 posts). Which is 3.2% of the members.

Waspy Pete (Baron) is member 40 with 2629 posts.

There are 5 admins. 1 King. 13 lords. 30 barons. 27 knights. 52 Seniors.

The usual suspects are, in order:
TheBoy
Marks DTM Calib
Martin Imber
JamesV6CDX
Elite Pete
tunnie
Markie
Kevin Wood
MikeDundee
STMO123
Taxi Driver
Auto Addict
hotel21       
Jimbob
Danny
Miggy
Skruntie
Markjay

Think that's supports your comment, pretty much.

Still, just 1 post can make a significant difference to any one of us with trouble with our Miggys, Newbies to Kings.   ;):)

It's interesting when a Newbie starts to post, they have often spent a month or 2 reading the forum with out joining, and even then they still spend a month on two reading up still.

Most of the regulars like my self spend most of the time in the banter section taking the mickey.

I have also noticed maybe 10/20 % of Newbie posters have come on board with regards to gain soloutions to thier Miggy issues. With a tiny number just coming on board to sell parts/items and then bitterly complaining when they cant.

Of those that have never posted, I genuinely think that 75% of them are scared to make the 1st post ( believe it or not, I was one of them)  Now look at me.

Maybe once the new layout is implemeted (if that is, as I know it has been mentioned there is quite a lot of work involved) then maybe a bulk email to all members  inviting them to pop in and have a look at the new look forum and a fresh invite to pop into the welcome area and say hi.

Speaking personally, I log on most days and just read and giggle rather than get involved. But I would miss the site if it wasn't here. :y

I don't really post much in general chat though the threads sometimes amuse me, If I think I can help then I post in the various help sections though.

Perhaps they needed an answer to a problem, got it and then that is that. May not be used to forum's, this is the first one I ever joined and got involved, after a while lurking, in. :y

Bit gutted i was'nt mentioned in the plenty post list, but a while back i posted a comment about inactive members & is it worth keeping their memberships active only for several to come forward & tell me they are on here but not as vocal post wise as some of us are, however can still be of help & advice should we need it.
    I'm not ashamed to say i learned a lesson there. 8-) :)

ps said it before and will say it again (just to upset people again :D)

posts in gen chat are just gen chat and don't really have a lot to do with Owning an Omega and therefore should not count towards your post count ::)


fuse lit and smouldering nicely...
