A couple of years ago I found myself welcoming new members every single day - sometimes several a day. After awhile my curiosity got the best of me. In the past (and again this morning) I did a bit of research and found that the only post many of the new subscribers make is the one in the "INTRODUCTIONS" forum.
Test it for yourself if you don't believe me. Go to the introductions forum and click the name of any new member who is introducing themselves. Then check the number of posts they've made since they joined the OBC in their personal profile. In at least 50% of the cases I have found zero posts. Check names that go back a month, two months, a year and you will find that the pattern is (almost) the same. Not to say that some do not become active contributing members but the stats appear to show that the majority do not.
I would be delighted to learn that my methodology is flawed in some way and that I am wrong but the numbers seem to speak for themselves.
So, in effect, we have a lot of subscribers who never use the site beyond introducing themselves. I can understand SOME people doing this but the enormous number who have is very bewildering.
This does not discount the fact that this is a very active and stimulating website. Other research I have done suggests that the OBC is by far the best in its online category. So if it is any consolation Scott you are to be commended for bringing together the most erudite group of quality readers on the planet (in my opinion) and keep in mind that that quality always supersedes quantity.
