While reading the topic regarding "Member Tidings & Mentions," I notice it had 102 replies and 4021 views in the 7 days it was open. That made me wonder how many members ST has and how many members are Gold Star members?

I'm sure there is a way to find this on the site, but I haven't figured out how or where to look.

I was just being curious. Thanks.

Denise

Denise,

On the main messageboard page at the bottom, it shows 10,755 total members.

Gold Star members, I am not sure where we would look.

Is the question being asked "What percentage of members are Gold?"

Either IB or one of the mods will certainly be able to say how many Gold members there are - but perhaps not as easy to know is how many of the 10,755 total members are active.

I realise that there are members who lurk without logging on - but I wouldn't categorize them as 'active'.

There is no time limit on general membership - are non-posting members ever deleted from the numbers?

Hi folks--Kim or Charisse are the best people to answer those questions, and I'm sure will follow up as soon as they can.

Ok - Gold Star Members roughly about 330 (total guestimate, it's still in two different files, and doing addition this early in the morning isn't my strong suit).

Hmm...what else, that 10K+ number below is registered members it doesn't include "lurkers" (i.e., people who read but don't register).

Let's see, over the last 10 months, we've had anywhere between 28K to 38K visits by registered users (the ones included in that 10K+ number below) each month and 70K to 126K visits by unregistered users each month (not included in that 10K number below).

Last month we had about 700 active members (i.e., 700 different members posted last month). This number fluctuates between 550 - 800 in any given month (at least for the last eight or so that I looked at).

At first we didn't delete the memberships of people who registered but never posted because this was a facility for them to still receive newsletters.

Then, we changed that to delete members who registered, who's e-mail bounced (when we sent a newsletter) and they hadn't been on the forums in over a year and never posted or only posted once or twice.

Did I get everything? Let me know if there are any other questions.

Thanks.

Thank you Kim. You have answered my question perfectly! ST has 10,755+ members and 330 Gold Star members.

Thanks for taking the time to figure this out.
