Numbers dwindling???

daveb57 · 29th May 2016, 21:04

Hi all,

Have a look in, as most of us do on here, several times during the week.

There was a time, not long ago, to be honest, where there would be 2 / 3 pages of new threads per day. Today, barely a page and a half.

Can't help to notice that this is getting less as are the number of users. .org seemed to go that way.

As I type this, 19 members, 46 guests here, .org 8 members, 33 guests.

Sign of the times I suppose, owners moving on, cars dwindling in numbers.

Sad really, but nothing lasts forever does it? Make the most of what we have for as long as we can!

Regards,

Dave.

It's a bank holiday weekend and the weather was nice, anyone sensible won't be in front of a PC

Club forums such as this are directly affected by the spread of members using this and other forms of fora. Along with Twitter and Facebook, this reduces those looking in, who maybe favour the other locations.

Another club I belong to appears to be almost "dead" due to the lack of participating members, and the fact that decision to create a "new site" can dessimate the historical content, as well as putting off those who were used to the "old ways".

Traffic has been absolutely dead on the Shop today - warm weather usually has this effect.
We normally have nearly 1,000 visitors per day - around half that so far!

Some forum stats to hopefully reassure you that we still have some life in us yet

Number of active users for April = 2,425
Number of new members joining in April = 253
Number of new threads started in April = 2,366
Number of posts made in April = 22,566

New members joining on Friday = 10
New members joining on Saturday = 7
New members joining on Sunday = 3
New members joining so far today = 6

That's 26 so far this bank holiday weekend if you include Friday
