Did you know that almost 60% of CFC members have 0 posts... I just thought this was funny. How can we get these members to post more?

SeleucusNicator · Aug 18, 2003, 01:33 PM

Do we really want those people to post, though?

Tsukemono5 · Aug 18, 2003, 01:49 PM

Yes we do. Lurking is bad. Even bad opinions are fun to refute

BomberEscort · Aug 18, 2003, 01:54 PM

If nothing more it gives diversity of ideas...

As of this post CFC has 34,691 users
this means that roughly 13,900 people are doing all the talking...

Tsukemono5 · Aug 18, 2003, 01:58 PM

Which is still more people than in my entire town...

G-Man · Aug 18, 2003, 02:00 PM

Many probably signed up and never posted.... Actually a lot less than 40% still post because many posted once and stopped after a while. Many more probably had a question or a technical problem with civ and after they were solved they left.

SeleucusNicator · Aug 18, 2003, 02:11 PM

I know that I often sign up for webboards and other such things on a whim really late at night when I'm not thinking straight and wake up and ask myself "what the hell? when did I register here?" and never post there.

There could be many such cases at work here.

I was one of those 0 post folk for a whole year. Recently I 'refound' these forums, got interested and was most amused to discover I already had an account here. Rather convenient, really.

Maybe having a large number of 0 Posters is a good sign of a healthy forum though. Or an inactive one...either way it works.

There will be toses who only registered to protect their name, and some who only posted years ago and whose posts have all been dleted or archived with old threads.

and 50 of thoses are doing 90% of that talking

Bootstoots · Aug 18, 2003, 08:20 PM

I wonder what percentage of 0 post users are actually DL's.

Also, I wonder what percentage of users have 1,000 posts or more...and what percentage of posts are made by those people.

Archer 007 · Aug 18, 2003, 09:08 PM

I'd proboly say a high amount are made by people with high post counts. Exspically in OT.

Last time I checked there were just over 250 such users, there are probably 270-300 today. I'm not going to count all their posts though...

Chieftess · Aug 19, 2003, 04:09 AM

2-5% of those users are probably DLs too, (double logons) some created by more infamous users...

BomberEscort · Aug 19, 2003, 06:33 AM

Only 4% of CFCers have 100 or more posts... The same people are doing all the talking

BomberEscort · Aug 19, 2003, 06:34 AM

Maybe I am talking to myself and I just don't know it...

Plexus · Aug 19, 2003, 06:35 AM

Well, there are 267 posters over 1000 posts, making them .76909% of the CFC populace.

And there are 719 posters over 300 posts, making them 2.07109% of the CFC populace.

And I am in the top .1382%
