Centurion-Macro Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Just looking at the membership a few seconds ago, I noticed that the registered member count is 1260. Now, that is good for a specialized forum like this, until I noticed that in 2007 there were a record 1988 members online. That is over a 500 person difference from that time, and they were just members online, and to someone like me (who is a newbie to the site) I think that means this place is less active then it once was. Am I wrong here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primus Pilus Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 About 5 or 6 months ago, we also did a major purge of inactive accounts (those that had registered but had never posted) in order to help combat some of the spambots. That's another reason the membership numbers don't quite equate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centurion-Macro Posted June 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Ah I understand. That is good then, I thought the forum was getting less active and may fail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primus Pilus Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 Ah I understand. That is good then, I thought the forum was getting less active and may fail There have been stretches of very limited but healthy on topic discussions and also periods of very high activity with more of a random "off-topic" direction of the content. I suppose the term is subject to one's own interpretation, but since we've been around for roughly 7 years and have made some relatively small contribution to the awareness of ancient history, I feel confident that the forum isn't a failure.
