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.

Yes I know what you mean CY.  The trouble is that my 2014 France Trip contains lots of photos - on Photobucket - but to link them all back up takes an age.

All of the very interesting statistics just seem to point out the bleeding obvious....that this forum and its  posters (me included) are only a tiny percentage  of the Whole membership, so Club Policy should not be changed because of  a few persistent  posters (lobbyists ?) On here. We don't  speak for the majority.

There are many who don't rally or attended Club meetings either. Their only interest is in using Club sites and services.

It has just struck me that those with a slow internet connection could well struggle to use this site because of the need to continually refresh/ bring up new pages to follow threads both new and old. It must be a right pain to follow if you have a slow internet connection.

Write your comments here...Nobody speaks for the majority, the CC rally centres only represent the tiny numbers who rally.  This forum only represents the views of around 25 members. 

who are not represented are the thousands and thousands of members who use CLs and Club Sites.

They have no say in how the CC business should be run. This is a traversty and a failure in the CC management to connect with their customers.

I disagree there is plenty of opportunity to communcate with the Club, it is all down to whether the majority of members are sufficiently interested in doing so. When the Club organises the regional "Meet the Members" function only a small fraction of the members actually turn up and most of them appear to be Center members. I have never been to an RGM but I suspect the same applies there.

I agree the disemination of information has not been the best of late, better use could be made of the Club magazine, but in my experience when the Club does make an effort there isn't a lot of response either because of lack of interest or members are happy with the ways things are.

An interesting statistic would be how many different members have posted on CT in a year, I suspect that is more than most realise?

Write your comments here...Peedee, with respect,  we are now in the 21st century. The days of everybody having to traipse to halls to listen to people reading from prepared scripts are becoming so last century.

The CC has every members Email address and it would be a simple matter to send regular questionaires to all members.  Also send CC information.   No cost involved, easy to do and all inclusive.

That they don't do that, could be that they are afraid that the answers won't be as expected. 

Cool

Agree there is email and I get regular news items using it even if the content is not particularly interesting. Have you forgotten that it wasn't so long ago that monthly surveys on all sorts of subjects were carried out electronically.

Write your comments here...I remember that the CC used that method to poll selected members Peedee thanks.  I believe it was never membership wide.  It was then suspended,-- a cynic might say it was because they were receiving too many WRONG answers Wink
