hi there

 

after reading james' recent message about the memberlist, i was just looking at some of the site numbers and a couple are interesting:

 

• the top ten members are responsible for 96.7% of the posts on the board
  
• the remaining 295 registered members are, therefore, responsible for 3.7% of the posts.
  
• of 305 registered members, 206 (67.5%) have contributed either one or zero posts.
  

it's inevitable that, while a site is still establishing itself and getting the word out, a small but vocal number of users will be responsible for a large mount of the community activity.

what do others think these numbers mean?

 

how do you think that members could be encouraged to contribute more regularly to the forum?

 

happy monday

Keeping new members interested by involving them in things i.e Asking them questions about would probably work
