BilboroughShirley 1,120 Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 5000 members of a great team. Congratulations to member number 5000. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,109 Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Thank goodness they're not all on at the same time. We'd never get a "word" in. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,487 Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Very nearly 5000 members!! ....and it's amazing how many of them have never made even one post since registering. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,109 Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 There's probably only about fifty active members actually, if that. ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chulla 4,946 Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 5000 members is a meaningless statistic. Would be different if they at least logged in to look at the postings often. I say that if they have not made a posting in, say, one year then their record should be deleted. BTW. We know which members look at the site daily. Can we tell how many non-members looks at it every day? 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,487 Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 There's one way to see who is online at any time (but not a daily total). At top right - click on the circular thing to the side of 'View New Content'. Then click on 'Community' and 'Users online'. That shows who's there at that particular moment.

FLY2 10,109 Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 That only covers a 15 minute period though, so it's pretty pointless. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Booth 7,364 Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 I always use 'View New Content' after logging in to Nottstalgia but I've never used the 'circular thing' to the side of it. We learn something every day on Nottstalgia. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

loppylugs 8,429 Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 I can't understand why anybody joins a site and then never posts anything. No need to join if you just want lurk for info purposes. I'm a member of a couple of organ forums. I don't post a lot because many of the members are way ahead of me musically. There are a couple of organ techs that post there though and their responses to a couple of my tech questions have been very helpful and actually saved me money. I would not join a site I did not intend to post to. Seems like if a person does not post in a year they should be deleted. Might even save a bit of drive space.

FLY2 10,109 Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 The other side of the coin LL is, what the hell did people do before becoming members and being on here nearly all day, as several are. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

loppylugs 8,429 Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Ya know! I was just thinking. Once in a while I do. Mick may not like this as it might mean extra work for him. I have wondered if it might be an idea for all of us to have an alternate e-mail address filed with the site. I would never just quite posting without saying why. Thus if a regular member just drops off the site after a year it could be programmed to send an e-mail to that other address to ask if they are 0-k. Or God forbid, no longer alive. This site is geared to nostalgia so it follows that many of us are probably past our sell by date, thus more likely to suddenly be no longer with us. Unhappy thoughts I know, but I feel like the regulars are good friends here. I would like to know what happened if they are no longer posting if for no other reason than to offer some kind thoughts to their family. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hippo girl 1,995 Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Re post 7 can you name the 50 regulars Fly ? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,109 Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 ER....... No, just about ten then I'd be struggling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,429 Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Well, there's one of 'em HG. Now he's only got to name 49. :-) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Re automated email. Not possible. I can Block email all members but seldom do this. Spam. If we automatically emailed members after a time they stopped posting, they could choose to ignore it, we would be none the wiser. People come and go from here, they dont always tell us they are going. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 I can't see what difference it makes if people stop posting. Obviously, if one of the regulars was to stop posting then you'd be concerned but the others just post when they choose, sometimes many months or even a year or so, between posts. Deleting people's record would just mean they'd never return in the future. It's a lot better to have 5000 members than 50 but can you imagine what it would be like if all the 5000 members were posting on a regular basis. Like FLY2 stated, you'd never get a word in. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benjamin1945 16,194 Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Agee Michael.......it would be nice to know why people suddenly stop posting,and that they are ok,......just as interesting to me is why do people join in the first place?.......mine was a combination of Retirement,Boredom,Illness and curiosity........have since come out of retirement,hopefully not ill anymore,but i'm still curious and suffer from boredom...........be interesting to know why oothers joined ? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
