So I went looking at the numbers and what I found in the statistics section of the forum is quite interesting!

we have over 225,000 members here
92% of the members are non posters (presume this means not made a single post)
Of the rest 15,000+ "posters" I doubt there are more than 50-60 members who are active and participate in the discussions

We have close to 2m page views per month
85% of those are by non-members / guests and rest by members
So there is no doubt about the value of the content here.

Of the 20 members who have spend the most time on this forum 2 are still Newbies!

We have had only 45 new posts in the last 24 hours. Extrapolating that is 1350 posts or roughly 250 new threads per month.

Unless I am reading the numbers wrong, from the large number of guests and non-poster members who are just leaching from the forum, I think we are giving away too much for free without getting anything in return. Think I made the same comment in another thread, now I have the data to back it up.

Think we should be happy to sacrifice some of the 2m page views in the short term to drive up the number of new posts (valuable new posts I must add) Longer term the page views will go up if there is enough valuable posts here anyway.
