Here's what i had time to do now:

I never expect posts to ever be that amazing since there's no forced registration and everythings public anyway (people = lazy), still in graph form it sucks :lol:

And now please correlate the number of new users with the closing of other p2p sites. :-)

That 1st graph is odd, you've got over 5000 users, yet the numbers on the graph don't even reach 2000

Y del them? Mabey del all the unverified ones... but like spud said is there any reason to remove inactive accounts?

I know there are a few fourms that I vist very rarly... and I know I would be anoyed to have my account removed just because i didn't post or check the site every day. Spesh when regestering is a curtosy on this site as you can browse it as anon.

Still be nice if the lurkers came out :)

yeah your right, looks like the local forum's data isn't completely updated, which is odd in iteself, i'll do another restore.

Very nice graphs.

(actually I'm just trying to bump the graph stats with this useless comment to make Spud feel a bit better :wink:

).

There's a definite correlation with shareactor(mar 04) and crazymazy's(jul 05) closing (post count anyways).

I'm one of those in the 10% bracket. Though I don't think of myself as a leecher, I do help out with reseeding and I would post rips (if I actually found anything I had that you fellas didn't already have!).

That last point is the main one for me, and I assume many other lurkers. For the most part I think we are kind of "amatuers" compared to most of you. So what have we got to contribute?

It's like being at a party where everone is in the same business apart from you. you know what I mean?

I wasn't having a go at you Dario, I don't call 19 posts a lurker. It was the 0 posters I was having a go at.

Oh, you misunderstand, I didn't think you were having as go. You're right afterall. The likes of me SHOULD become more "of" the forum.

This is a community, both the forum and the horror fans on it, and sometimes I think we should act more like it (I mean "us" as in the lurkers).
