That number may be obsolete by the time you read this. This isn't a complaint or anything like that, I just figured we had a lot more than 8400+ members.
This is really the only forum I do any serious posting on, so I don't know if 8400 is bigger than normal, or smaller, or average.
I know we seem to have a reputation with the rest of the IWC, so I thought the member count would be a lot bigger. Its no big deal though, just one of those things you think about when you are up at 5 am browsing the boards.

There's only actually 400 members, the other 8000 is just me mucking about.

Well I just checked this hockey forum I am a member of, but barely post on. It has 79,615 members, but they also have sub boards for every NHL team, plus 26 other boards, so that would explain its numbers.
But even if we are a tiny little community, we're still one of the best.

There's honestly probably less than five thousand posting at any one time. Probably fewer than that tbh. But eh, so long as we're active.

I think the old statistics with Livejournal hold up across the entire internet, possibly more so than years ago. The amount of active accounts is usually a third to a half of the amount of actual accounts. It's a very active community, and very diverse for a wrestling site. |

I was doing a post for the "Stand Up for The 'Crap" thread and was gonna use that number for my post. I looked it up and honestly it surprised me how high it was. Even Jackrabbit $lim's calculation seems high to me (my guess would have been about 1,500-2,000 regulars tops, but the mod probably knows more about that than the Mantuar).
I'm an Off-Topic regular and maybe 5% of my posts have ever gone towards the WWE section on a dominantly pro-wrestling related forum. I'm sure there's a large number of members that are vice versa, that post next to never here but are all over the place in the WWE/TNA/MMA sections.
Plus, you gotta add up those that were banned, those that posted maybe 3 or 4 times then never came back and/or started a new account for whatever reason (lost password, password/info typo, banned members trying to work around the system, etc.). A large amount of the member # on ANY forum goes towards that.

I thought there'd be alot more to be honest. The sites constantly busy and threads seem to get replies really quick!

It would be a lot more if there wasn't rules against multiple accounts by the same person.

It's quality, not quantity that matters. We have some great members on this forum.

You mean there's not over 9000?  |

8,000+ is quite a lot considering the board was originally just a fan forum for a niche wrestling-based site and is now a generalised wrestling site with no attachment to anything else on the internet.

For some reason I remember seeing a figure of 10,000.

There are probably less members than that, considering some people may have 2 or 3 different accounts, and some folks probably haven't been on here in years I'm guessing.

I think one banned poster made about a third of those.

I used to be on a forum that had over 10,000 members, but I don't think anywhere near that amount were active. I'd doubt there were 1000 active posters. I am amazed at the activity here in general. Threads can speed off the front page in a day, which is more than a lot of forums can say. So yeah, the active quantity is probably a more important figure.

How accurate is this?
Surely that can't be right!?

How accurate is this? Surely that can't be right!? That's a count of unique IPs viewing the forum, not accounts logged in. For every one person that logs in here each day there's 6 more people (on some days more) who don't have accounts here, who just lurk and read our posts. |
