So I came up with a question - how many members are there with zero posts?

 

I clicked "Overall Top Posters" on the main page:

Went to the very last page, and starting jumping backwards to the point where the members listed on the top of the page had 1 post, and all the rest after it had 0 posts. That is page 1021 of 1555.

 

Each page lists 20 members...

 

*As of 4:30 AM, 3/8/2016*

 

The last page only had 1 member, and page 1021 had 9 members with 0 posts.

 

(1554 - 1022) = 532 pages

 

532 * 20 members per page = 10,640 members

 

10,640 + 10 members (from page 1021 and 1555) = 10,650 members with zero posts

 

According to the main page, there are 33,289 total members

 

(10,650/33,289) * 100 = ~32%

 

Now of course, I know there are sections of the forums here where post count doesn't increase, but there's not much significance to me even doing this math in the first place, so whatever.

 

Essentially, every 1 in 3 members here have zero posts...

 

I guess they likely made an account, never posted, and didn't come back, or lurked and never posted, etc.

 

I just felt like this was an interesting statistic to make a blog about.

P.S. Yes, I waited to publish this til mid-day, rather than posting it at 5am, lol.

Just as a note, I know that a couple of those zero-post members do have statuses and blog entries, which are not counted as 'posts' by the system. Probably not a significant number, though.

Of course.  But for the intents and purposes [or lack thereof, really] of my blog, I'm just generalizing and grouping anyone who has 0 posts into one category.

I'd be interested in seeing whether the number of active members has changed. While I know loads of people still use the site regularly, it feels like the number of people online at any given time is lower than it used to be.

Yah I wonder about that, too.  Maybe when the show is back in season more members will be active.

Tis possible.

 

Here's a blog from about three years ago with some stats, if you're interested.

Lmao, though I didn't mention it, I did this for the same reason - I was bored and couldn't sleep.  

 

Interesting statistics, thanks.

 

Reminds me of something else actually (even though he didn't mention it)... The time online counter we used to have.

HA!

 

I saw this and thought "hey, I did this one time, I'll link my post to show what stats I found." Thank you, :) Guess a few people around here still remember how awesome I am.

 

My stats are pretty out of date, though.

Hehe, true, but it's nice to see some old stats, too.  I'm glad to see others who share interest in site statistics.
