Some current statistics, if you're interested.
members = 550

number of posts
never = 170
10 or less = 203
10-100 = 136
100-500 = 27
500-1,000 = 6
over 1,000 = 8 - you know who you are  Wink

As is true with most forums, the truely active members are about 10% of the total membership.

Great to know.

You are doing a great job John to register all those people and we appreciate it.

I think we (as a forum) are doing it very good. Great people, good quality of posts

Just to let you know that I deleted forum member "Little Green". I got an email from his family to let us know that he passed away two years ago.

John, i know you are doing a great job with registering new members but i'm wondering if we should try to open the registration tool. There is a lot of anti-spam feature in it and an admin still need to approve it.

You can check how it would be like here on my test forum;

http://jeepwillysworld.com/cgi-bin/JWWyabb2611/YaBB.pl?action=register

Let me know what you think. Should we give it a try?

Sorry I didn't get to this sooner. I"ve been crazy busy and tired.

The registration was tedious and annoying enough to discourage most spammers. It may put off some legitimate users who aren't very computer savvy.

It took me four tries.
First rejection was because I put Pascal for the Referer. Changed it to Quebec Jeep.
Then it rejected the Captcha. I had to try both the number 1 and lower case L to get it right.
Then it complained about my Date of Birth entry. I didn't put in the leading zeros on day and month - just me being lazy.

It would be much better if it displayed all the errors at the same time rather than springing them on you one at a time. Can that be configured in the software or are we stuck with that?

The best way to do that is to re-display the form with the error fileds highlighted so you can just go down through them and correct them all.

I just registered member #750.
We've added 200 in the last two years.
Nice steady growth.

activity statistics - post counts
more than 2,000 - 3
more than 1,000 - 6
more than 500 - 5
more than 100 - 38
more than 50 - 34
less than 50 - 428
0 posts - 236
so again 10% of the members are contributing the majority of activity - pretty common
