Reply To: How do we get more activity here?
That’s not really out-of-reach, I think, when you think that that’s the amount of new posts on FSM or JWFAN within 10 minutes. But we’re not there yet.
This is still a quite high goal even first that there are well established forum like FMS and jwfan already and second forums are a bit out of fashion. There must be a good reason to yet again sign onto another forum when you have limited time and are already on two.
As you know I am lurker on the others as I hardly have the time and motiviation to post on several. Or even on one. I try here because I am involved but it certainly eats time.
FYI, we are currently 64 registered users here (legit users, no spam accounts…they are deleted regularly), out of which 6-7 are active.
That’s not a bad quote actually for 64 users. It is always the same that only a few will be active. As I mentioned I am running another forum, basically a mixture of forum and mailing list, with now 160+ members. Only around 15-20 are regulary active. Most never do anything and since it is via mail primarily probably don’t even lurk ( = don’t read any mails since they already get loads of other mails and other platforms to look at). It was not even different when some years ago there were 320+ members.
