I try and log on every day, sometimes more, but I only post if I have something to say!!
Tell that to Alexa (the people who rank websites based on traffic / popularity) or did I "fiddle " that as well ? Or maybe I hacked Google and changed the numbers
I love the conspiracies though, from ace hacker bringing down empires to ability to fiddle Alexa and google even when truth is I sometimes struggle and get in a mess using Microsoft word !
Every member here has a unique email address, creating 9000 of them would keep me real busy I reckon this last 18 months, then you would have to ask yourself why ? What difference does it make ?
The graphs admin has posted are how it really is, there are lots more I'm sure he could produce about activity but it would get real boring real fast and I would rather he got on with finishing the new classifieds instead !

@Hilly must look at a very narrow spread of threads if he thinks there are only 20 or so regulars on here
There are over 50 different members showing on the latest posts on 'New posts' tonight since 7pm plus all the contributions to those threads as well, plus all the chatter in 'Off Topic'

it dont matter what walk of life you are from, put 1000 people together, and there will be a handfull of them that will do most of the talking, and the rest will just watch and listen,
however it is the man or woman that odserve, that learn the most, and there is such a wealth of imformation posted on here every day, you cannot read all the replys before bed time, never mind posting on here,
although i do wonder if, @grumpy is a robot sometimes with the amount of posts he makes each day

@Hilly how many posts would you think make someone a regular user?
We've had this discussion before but a normal spread of usage in many walks of life, and certainly on forums, is for a smaller number of individuals to do a large percentage of a given activity. I would not be surprised to find that 10% of the population consume 90% of the cheese and certainly would expect 10% of forum users to generate 90% of traffic.
The statistics are easy to see on BFF as they set their members page out differently - A 105 page list of members but those with over 100 posts fill only five and a half pages, and only seven individuals with over a thousand posts.

I am using BFF's stats because they are easy to see and both forums full fill a similar function and this in no way criticises either forum. This is the nature of forums and if you find one with thousands of members who can join freely and there is not that type of spread then that is where you have found something suspicious.

Don't think that's right.
Just clicked on new posts and of the 20 listed yellow belly is the only one listed twice as last poster on any of the topics.
There's 19 active users on a single page for a start. Would say more like 50-60 active users as the bare minimum.

Make it 200 then still not a high % out of an alleged 6000 !!
This is how traffic levels and popularity of websites is compared, independently

Stick Tff in and then try a few others like FWi and maybe a house hold name like Land Rover etc ?
Enjoy !
I'm not sure why it matters to you as members ? We only display the basic stats on the home page for interest ! Can delete them if you would prefer ?
