CT usage statistics

TDA, very true, but that forum seems to pick and choose their members . i was refused entry ,but hey ho there is life other than forums

I was invited to join and refused. Its a strange world

Fascinating. Do tell more as you've made this claim elsewhere as well. 

It's not invitation only so this does sound very odd

A very interesting comment I agree as I wasn't aware of any 'invitation only' membership.

 

I'm sure the one being referred to in this thread doesn't do "invitations", other than possibly a friend suggesting you join. 

Friend, or agent provocateur?

Brue, there is disagreeing & there is combative. Disagreements are bread & butter to healthy debate/discussion, being stalked & attacked is not by any stretch of the imagination acceptable. I have seen it happen on CT to 4posters that I can think of immediately. Some folk think being disagreed with is a personal slight-it really isn't at all.

Rocky...the answer to a perceived problem is to discuss it with the forum manager via e mail or the report function.

Jill,

It seems likely that he's confused a referral link with an invitation. No invitations to join have ever been issued  

It could always be a different forum.

Makes a good story I suppose 

Hi Rogher

I actually found your statistics encouraging!

There's not really that much of a drop in usage, and I don't think your stats can be used to support a claim that the CT Forum has "one foot in the grave" as mentioned earlier - far from it.

And as has been mentioned elsewhere in this discussion, a number of factors have contributed to this slight reduction in activity.

I also think Ro and the CT Staff should be commended for successfully tackling the "heated arguments" that used to generate so much kerfuffle - and posts!!

Cheers

Indeed, the average number of posts a day to a thread has risen to compensate for the lower variety of threads being commented on. And the average number of posts per user has risen from 9.5/day to 9.9/day, so it’s not a case of doom & gloom. Maybe the new software will generate more interest…

I agree with you completely. We know the pressure Rowena is under(workload) as She apologises constantly for the lack of speed with Her replies. Some have mentioned weeks awaiting replies. It will then be a case of waiting for Rowena's workload pressures to allow to reduce to a level of getting back to the 'mailer' all the time not having access to CT due to 'perceived' problems with poster/s. My apologies to rogher for going off topic. I enjoy the figures rogher produces, they are quite enlightening

Does not seem like much of a decline to me and bearing in mind about a dozen "star chasers" took themselves  off a few months  ago I woild think genuine  posts are holding up. 

Who were they then AD ? I can only think of one and he's still here.....

Ohoo, I wonder who it is

My money's on him being the first gold.......

As I posted some time ago, that issue could be addressed by points only being awarded to "likees" rather than "likers"
