So this is 2000.

Ooops, the count was of views, not posts. So this was pretty much pointless.

Same as many of our conversations here.

Today, Aug 14, 2018, MennoNet hit 40,000 posts. We have added 20,000 posts in the last 11 months, which is a rate of about 60 posts per day - the pace is up about 20% per day compared to the previous year. Way to keep the discussion going!

Regarding members:

There are 214 people who have posted at least once
90 people who have posted 10 or more times
47 people who have 100 or more posts
23 people whit 500 or more posts
12 people with 1000 or more posts
4 people above 2000 posts
and 2 people above 4000 posts!

The top 12 posters account for 60% of the posts on the board.

Hooray MN - now, on to 50,000!!

I'm so glad you finally realized I was right so we don't have to keep posting about that.

Think of all the energy used by your computers as you discussed the issue of climate change...all the CPU heat generated by your processors in overdrive...all the calories burned by each of your brains as you countered each other in debate.

I suspect the oceans have risen a few inches as icecaps have melted from the heat generated by that one thread alone. )

But just think of the joyful laughter some have been given because of it.

But the posts that mentioned EO generated by far the most heat. The effects can still be felt - this has been an almost hot summer. I taught the children they mayn't say it is hot today, but I was wrong - this summer they would have been right.

Well we did it - 50,000 posts on March 12, 2019!

It took us about 7 months to add 10,000 posts - that's about 47 posts per day. We've slowed down a bit (20%) from last year, but still going rather strong. It took us 19 months to get to 50,000 - an overall rate of roughly 57 posts per day - or about one post every 25 minutes day & night.

Regarding members:

There are 1606 registered users now, but only 239 people (16%) who are true users because they have posted at least once.
Of those 239 actual users, we picked up 25 new posters over the last 7 months
102 people who have posted 10 or more times
53 people who have 100 or more posts
26 people with 500 or more posts (up 3 from 7 months ago)
16 people with 1000 or more posts (unchanged from 7 months ago - but there are 6 of us within 140 posts of the milestone)
4 people above 2000 posts (unchanged from 7 months ago)
and 2 people above 5000 posts! (Josh at 5106 & Bootstrap - who is exactly at 5000 posts today!)

The top 10 posters account for 54% of the posts on the board.

Overall, even though MennoNet has slowed down a bit in activity over the last few months, but active participation has broadened (with the top 10 posters accounting for a lower overall percentage). That feels healthy to me.

Hooray for MennoNet - and thanks again to Robert for his able administration!

i have no stats.
but, the impression is, since Robert separated Politics from Current Events, there has been an improvement in (let’s say, Adam’s word, “tone”) and member participation .. if so, yay.
