I know it is 3800 posters because I looked up all members who had at least one post...and there are 3,800 of them. And there are many more than 50 current posters. I think we discussed this while you were on your last hiatus....every single person who clicks on this site contributes in one way or another. Some more than others but I'm grateful for getting to hear from all 3,800 who have decided to post.

3,800 would make a good party. :)

We just started something similar on the site I work for . . . it's the "it's only fair" rule but that's a fee-driven site.

There's always going to be lurkers. It's healthy to see a site grow but I totally see you point, too.

3,800 posts would be a lot to check if they all posted at once.

I joined a site where you had to post to maintain membership...notice I "joined". I'd rather have honest responses and convos driven by people's desire to make contact than a site filled with responses people make in order to keep their status as active. I was not impressed, and did not post and am no longer there. I'd like to think I am the type of person who adds positively to a message board or forum but tell me I have to or else, and you just colored every post I would make.

I'm hoping numbers cruncher PF can shed some entertaining light on the numbers. :) It's one of the only things I like about him. :D

As I have said before this is one of the few female friendly, female active adult sites I have found. The sites that make you post pics or your out tend to have lots of pics and no chat. Other then smut stuff. You never see posts by single females. Just couples.

I was peeping at a new site the other day and was totally flabbergasted to find it had a forum set up for pics and replies to pics only but not anywhere to just sex eachother up and play and flirt and talk...no place to get to know people.

So I guess my idea would turn US into THEM huh?
Then my idea isn't so great. I sure wouldn't want that! :trout:

That sems to be the trend along with rating sites. The rating ones can get very nasty with the remarks to.

Is why we will never have ratings or contests.... breeds hurt feelings and it's so much nicer to just all see the beauty in everyone and support each other in our sexual endeavors and exploits (or lack there of).

Hey! You said you weren't gonna tell! :(

Perhaps, rather than the "you must post" bit, can a counter flag a non-poster after 6 months, send a standard PM asking if they still want to be here, to click on the attached button. No click, no member?

Sounds a bit hard, but hey??

kathy1 is right that a WHOLE bunch of people are missing out on a lot of fun.

Perhaps a combination of cowgirltease and Oldfart ideas could work by bringing up a flag for notice that suspend the pic viewing privilege if not responded to. It is silly to carry 78% of the people signing up, on the rolls indefinitely. We cannot tell how many are regular lurkers and which are just lost souls, only by postings though. Hopefully, the man behind the curtain, has the means to see how many revisit even if it is only his “secret number”. I don’t know what burden a majority of empty fields put on the database, except for the time factor.

I agree with Lilith that every post ever made is part of Pixies and could well give you permanent membership without causing a problem, as far as the numbers I have been able to squeeze out. We all have seen a, self-proclaimed lurker come out of the shadows when the right thing struck their fancy. I also understand Lils’ thoughts that a “forced” posting is not likely to generate earnest feelings and ideas. There also always is the whole image game of showing high membership numbers for a variety of reasons. That part I’ll leave to the “fluff-pumpers”. :rolleyes: I do better just dealing with the facts.

Our query capabilities are limited and have a problem with the difference between x = <n, x = n< and x = >n, x = n>, especially while dealing with zero, but here are some siftings. I did get some slightly different numbers than Lil, but here’s the general state of affairs.
“Never have so few provided so much enjoyment and pleasure for so many.” ;)

As of this posting-
Using the search capabilities under membership, I find 17,593 members currently listed.
The earliest of any post date shown is 2001 April 29.
The ones that have signed up as members and never posted are 13,784. That’s 78.3%.
That should leave 3,809 members that have at least once. (but doesn’t according to our database, but it only shifts the totals a couple percentage points)
There is a total of 1,586 member that posted over 10 times.
We have a total of 478 senior members (over 100 posts)

The number of members that have made at least 1 post in the last year is 1,677.
of the current membership,
Of this last years active members, 920 have posted more than 10 times.
There are 66 members that have posted over 100 times in the last year.

We have 853 members that joined before this last year and still posted at least once.

There are many ways to request and interrupt data, many that we do NOT have available, to support most reasonable statements, but there is no question in my mind that the ratio of people enjoying our home and the ones we get to see and talk with is a pretty wide spread.

The bottom line for me is I’m damned glad to be here and even happier the rest of this group is here. ……………………………. Well, …. most of them. ;)



PS :mad:
I tried to underline and bold print the highlights, but we are SO god damn limited in the number of images we can have that you will have to hunt if you want any of the information.

*stomps away with his blunt pencil*

Like I said about 50 posters. So I win the bear. :p

66 posters. This is root 66.
