Some time ago, when it was claimed that given the number of registered members "online" was the "authentic view of PNE fans", i asked if there were information available about how many of the registered members actually posted.
I was told to do the research myself.
Well, half an hour with a spreadsheet tells me:
Registered members: approx 5000
Total number of posts: Approx 1.1 Million
People registered who have NEVER posted: 48%
top 10% of posters = 90% of total posts
top 10 posters (out of 5000 registered) = 15% of total posts
Conclusion: there are far more people who have registered and gone away again without posting than take an active part in discussions.
