I was browsing throught the member list, sorting by number of posts made, and a good 3/4 of the members have no posts. That means that out of ~16,000 members, only 4,000 post anything. The number of semi-regular posters (those with 50 or more posts) is only 1,000. The number of regular posters (those with 150 posts or more) is about 500. That means that only 3% of the forum is actively contributing. Maybe there should be some kind of inactivity limit, where you have to post at least once every month or two. I know this has been suggested before, but this would definitely cut down on your expenses, Ebaum. Also, if I haven't told you before, this site :bang: .

To decide which members are regular, you shouldn't look at the post number. You should look at the number of posts per day. I think I only have around 100 posts, but I am a fairly regular member.
