forum statistics!

on your forums, how many threads/posts/members do you have?

on my most active one (5 days old)

Total posts 209 | Total topics 59 | Total members 46
6 users online :: 4 registered, 0 hidden and 2 guests
19 Users active over the last 24 hours

what about yours?

and is that good for a new forum? i think its awesome, but i cant remember how active my other forums were then

(actually, ive just checked, when one of the other forums was 5 days old we were on 300 posts, but this one has more members)

 

If you have 46 members already after only five days, you want to try to drive up activity as much and as fast as you can. That's momentum, you have something, but if you stop to spend too much time counting when you can spend time building it further - promotion, setting up a newsletter, start threads like crazy, etc - you'll lose it.

Once a community passes about 300 non-spam members or so it's fairly easy for a dedicated core to keep it going and growing, up until the ~200 active members wall. Blue Moon is at that wall, Lunar not really, Elliquiy has managed to pass it (not easy).

Some great stats for a new forum keep it going :thumbup:

Zero-posters are deactivated/deleted after a certain amount of time in our forum, so this is a valid approximation of our real activity after 2,5 years of lifetime.

wow, you all have so much activity

 

This '200 active member wall', do you mean 200 people average online users?

Or do you mean 200 people that have logged in the last 30 days?

?

 

200 people that post more than once a day.

Edit: To be more specific, the natural inclination is for such a community to tear itself apart due to various personal differences. If you have more than that, something special and not very typical is going on.

 

I'm not even sure where I could get that statistic. I can see how many posts/day, and I know who has logged in over the last 30 days.

I suppose there is a vb modification available to show how many different people have posted per day.


Interesting metric!
