I was just looking over the list of maxminis members and put together a rough comparisome of the posting habits here at maxminis. Does anyone else find some of these figures a little odd. I did this quickly so the numbers are a little rough but they're close enough to get an idea.

# of posts_______# of members____________% of population
Squire w/ 0 :__________775_____________________22.8%
Squire w/ 1-24 :_______625_____________________18.4%
Squire w/ 25-49 :_______75______________________2.2%
Knight w/ 50 :_________700_____________________20.6%
Knight w/ 51-174 :_____850_____________________25%
Knight w/ 175 :__________1______________________0%
Knight w/ 176-349 :____150______________________4.4%
Knight w/ 350 :__________0______________________0%
Knight w/ 351-999 :____138______________________4.1%
1000+ club:___________87______________________2.6%

According to these numbers only a bit better than a third of the members are making steady contributions to this forum.

And why are there about 700 members just sitting idle on 50 posts exactly?

Some lurk, some just don't post alot I guess.
As for the large amount of 50 post people, I believe that awhile back when post counts got messed up during the great conversion, Jai gave everyone a 50 pt bump to their post counts. Those people probably joined, but never came back.

Ah yes, now I remember! Thanks I couldn't figure out why that looked so fishy.

The large numbers of members with less than 50 posts (and especially those with zero) are likely just one time visitors. Joined, browsed and never came back. Maybe filled out some of the HW list and never worried about it again.

Would be interesting to know what the last activity on the account was, to see if there were trends as far as joining and not coming back.
