[QUOTE="Robigus, post: 640451, member: 206"] [USER=3575]@Hilly[/USER] 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. [url]http://farmingforum.co.uk/forums/memberlist.php?&pp=50&order=desc&sort=posts[/url] 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.
