GTPlanet Near 200.000 Users

[Darren.]

300,000 obviously.

194497 members on the user list.

Seems to me that a quarter of a million (250,000) would be a bigger milestone than 300,000.

 

[Camaroyenko]

Crap! Must have happened overnight.

 

[Nicksfix]

Question -

Out of the 200,037 members, how many are still really active ? (Lets say ... within the past year) Is there some sort of data that can show this ?

Congrats on this landmark

Go to 'View All Users' then Advanced Member Search. In the Last Post box, put 2010-11-12 in the 'is After' box. That return 34,308 members.

To me, that number seems kind of sad... :\

If I did my math right, only 5.83% are active. That'd if I did the math right.

It's around 17.15%, I believe.

People have always been very interested in these ratios, but even though your math was wrong, GTPlanet member's activity levels are actually higher compared to most other forums, social networks, or communities, online or off.

The effect is known as "participation inequality", and it's been studied at length by many sociologists, marketers, and community builders. It states that, roughly, 90% of any community will be "lurkers", 9% will be occasionally active, and 1% will be very active, contributing most of the content.

As you can see, over the last ten years, GTPlanet has actually defied the effect by a significant margin. These numbers are nothing to be sad about!

Total registered users: 200,000
Users who have not posted: 138,547 (69%)
Users with 1-100 posts: 54,626 (27%)
Users with more than 100 posts: 6,879 (3%)​

That's true. Very cool to know that we are significantly more active than other forums!

I'd be part of that 27%. At least for now. I've gotten pretty active finally. I had a different account that I stopped using because the name was rather childish.

Do we really have exactly 200,000 users now??

 

[mattythedog]

Woohoo. I'm part of the 3%. It would be interesting to know what the percentage of people with over 1000 posts.

Bet you can't be the mighty Famine though

For me,Famine is just a target to be knocked out of the sky.

 

[SkylineObsession]

All forums are like that. My own ones are, as are the numerous car club forums i'm in and so on.

Its just like invites to an event posted on Facebook. You'll generally be lucky if half the people that confirmed they'd be attending, actually do.

 

[Robin]

Such a shame that the 200,000 user didn't even post once.

He's only been registered a day.

Hey, that's actually pretty good. What percentage buy a lifetime premium membership?

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Woohoo. I'm part of the 3%. It would be interesting to know what the percentage of people with over 1000 posts.

There's just under 1000 members with 1000 or more posts (996), so that's very slightly less than 0.5%. For members over 10,000 posts, you're looking at... 0.03% (60 of them, though there's someone sitting at 9999 posts).

Hmmm, it'd be interesting to check, but it seems when we moved to GTP11, Premies aren't listed in the Forum Leaders page anymore. Though, just of those 10k+ posters, well over half of them are premium members in some capacity (33, though likely higher since many of the staff had subscriptions before joining the team).

 

[bonobo4]

Congratulations to number 200,000! Here's hoping he contributes and enjoys his time here.

 

[Cedar]

Wait, I just clicked TB's link, and it says there's only 194,541 registered users...?

For once, I am the 1%

I'm in that 3% I think. Yay!

And can you say who's at 9999 posts? And is he/she not posting for a while?

It's CAMAROBOY69

 

[AMCNUT]

That's a really interesting breakdown of how many people participate on how regular a basis. I was surprised by the number of people with 0 posts though - you'd think that if they were going to the effort of signing up they'd want to say at least something? Isn't that why most people are motivated to join a forum? They see something that inspires a strong enough reaction to go and respond to it?

But I'm going to have to try and break into the 1000+ club at some point!

Well, people aren't going to pop up on everybody's radar straight away, but I imagine that at least some of the zero posters joined a long, long time ago.

Just out of curiosity, how did you find that out?
