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.

A slight increase in insomnia would seem apparent.

The star system was originally put in place to encourage people to post when the forum was new. I think many think that it has over stayed its welcome and perhaps that might change when we get the new forum?

All this ambiguity about the new CC forum is unhelpful. Despite promises that it would be available in 2015 we have still to see any indication that it will be even available in 2016.

Neither have the CC been honest enough to inform the members about what new features will be present or what format the forum will take. By this time, all that planning will have taken place and it will be a simple matter to proudly relay to the membership all the advantages that the new forum will bring.

A cynic might say that by their complete silence on the matter the CC have put the implementation of the new Forum on the back burner.

I Wonder !!!!

Perhaps the CT user statistics very kindly supplied by Rogher are making them think again about the need to replace the forum.

Agreed. It will be one less stick for some fairly prolific posters to beat others with.

I'm pretty sure Ro has promised end March

... but she may have been referring to something else.

Pretty sure it wasn't the arrival of a new forum Ro was looking forward to in March! Laughing
