I’ve been looking at the use of the forum over the first week of this year and compared it with the same week (1-7 Jan) last year.

It had become apparent that the amount of activity had declined and I wondered by how much.

In the first week of 2015, 794 different usernames were observed on CT. (There were a lot of kitchen spammers at the time, so they were removed from the count).

This year, there were 691 different usernames observed over the same period.

The number actually posting to the forum was 388, dropping to 356 this year, a fall of around 10%.

An average of 260 different users were seen on CT each day in 2015 whereas only 235 different users a day are seen just now.

Must admit that I try not to get involved with fractious debates anymore, I bite my tongue and give a like to the next post that I agree with. That way, I don't encourage those looking for an argument. There are a few more trolls about lately old and new. I also use other forums. As well as fun& trivia.....Cool

The various debates don't seem to have the same value nowadays. It is possible to visit CT and not see anything of interest or worth posting a reply. Probably it has all been said before and a lot of subjects have been flogged to death. The other reason I suspect is that long term posters are running at purple star level  and to gain further advancement, if that is your thing, requires tens of thousands of points. A move from my current 5 reds requires 10,000 points and I cannot get excited about that.

I think the stars are an irrelevance when it comes to usage. It's the amount of interesting debate that keeps a forum active.

Write your comments here...Precisely CY.  Which means that this forum has one foot in the grave. 

Its a shadow of its former self when compared to the good old days of stimulating debate and friendly repartie. Sadly gone for ever,  as is many of members who made this possible.

Never mind, there are plenty of other Caravanning forums on the net for that sort of  debate.
