Yes, but that is after a clearout I think... for there were well over 3000 a few weeks back. I think Dan removed some of the 'dormant' members perhaps.

Yes BL i remember when that number was great and we all got excited as the numbers were going up, where are some of our old friends i wonder??. It is amazing how many are on site now but i suspect lots signed on and never came back again.

EJ is definitely in front.  If you click on Members List and then on the number of posts, it orders the names by the number of posts.  Oh yes - EJ at 7082 followed closely by Tim at 6882.

Can anyone say why some folk are labelled YABB god and some as Pics?

Post by: Delilah on November 23, 2005, 16:17:03
Just had a quick look at members list and I think the most shocking statistic is that EJ and Tim registered in 2003 whereas Wardy hasn't even been jabbering on here for a year yet and she's third on the list - but just you keep blathering on Wardy cos we love your posts!!!!!!!!
Title: Re: 3,000!!
Post by: Delilah on November 23, 2005, 16:24:56
I ve just found another stat - total hours spent on-line!!!!!

Don't know if I should be posting this on the addiction thread cos I confess to 2 days 16 hrs and 27 minutes and I've only been registered since September :o

Couldn't agree more, Lorna!! Can't  think of one thing at all on TV that grabs me now, bar River Cottage and Buffy the Vampire Slayer....Oooo yes, and 4400 and not forgetting.... I meant the News....and erm....Clever programmes.. ;D ;)
Title: Re: 3,000!!

Post by: Delilah on November 23, 2005, 22:22:56
Blabbermouth - how polite Wardy, you just keep getting posher, I usually just get called Gobby.

No what you all mean about TV I've just got in from work Hubby is fast asleep supposedly watching Lost - he did tape River Cottage and Jamie Oliver so might watch those in a while - I used to watch Grand Designs but it just amazes me how much money and stress creating the "perfect home" can cause, I did enjoy the one about the man who built house in his own forest!!
Title: Re: 3,000!!
Post by: redimp on November 23, 2005, 22:30:26
It is definitly the post per day stat that needs most attention. 

EJ - 8.804 per day
Tim - 8.504 per day
Wardy - 13.661(http://bestsmileys.com/sick/9.gif)

And down in 16th
redclanger - 5.200 per day (http://bestsmileys.com/bowing/1.gif) I thank you.

Moonbells - I think some people have pics under their name because they've given Dan money to be able to post photos here - there's a thread about it in the News section.  YABB God is over 500 posts, isn't it? - over a certain number, anyway.

Lottie - what do you mean "the News ... and erm ... Clever programmes"?  Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a very clever programme! - way cleverer than the news!!

I think on any website you will always get a large number of " non active" members
My son set up a website for sign makers and  there are quite a few people who register but never post to the site. I think he deletes any member who hasn't posted for a year.. Mind you I am flipping glad that not all of the 3000members post to the site. I spend far too much time on here now, garden doesn't get neglected but the housework does ;D     Lorna.

Housework, what's that.  ;D  ;D  I'm off work (holiday) all this week, had great intentions of going to lottie each day, only managed twice (to put something on the compost) and start cleaning house for Christmas.  I managed to clear out 2 cupboards and 1 drawer in the kitchen and haven't done anything else since.  Why?, you ask, A4A!!!!!!

Spent a good half hour ordering Free seed from RHS (members only) only to have computer crash at vital moment and had to start again.!!

Still smiling though  ;D  ;D

Richard, now you really should be asking yourself why my OH is hammering and scratching at the door trying to escape.......is not a pleasant experience, really........Agapanthus is trying to move out of area due to my imminent arrival with sink plunger to aid with Huckleberry poisoning....count your blessings, really......!!  ;D

I think a lot of people are like I was at the beginning.  It took me 3 months or so after joining to read through and digest all the wonderful posts and to get the feel of the board before joining in. Soooo glad to be a part of it now though.  :)

Now that is cruel ;D In the end I decided to put them in Charlies' wardrobe then I won 't see them so much!!! OOPS sorry folk gone off  thread subject AGAIN :-[
 
Received your package this morning thanks.

Continuing off thread for a moment.  Cleaning cupboards have come to standstill.

Went into town this morning, for a bit of Christmas Shopping. Talk about someone watching over you.  With heavy shopping in hand I was walking back to the car, thinking I could do with a sit down and a nice cup of tea.

The sun was glaring in my face as I walked down Briggate, when I saw a figure come towards me. It was a market reseach Lady. I found myself saying 'yes' to everything she said, and found myself following her down a dark alley  :o  :o into one of the oldest pubs in Leeds.  We then proceeded upstairs into an empty room!! (If this had been a bloke - sorry fellas, I might have thought twice)
 
She then said, would I like a cup of tea.  Well, there I was having a nice cup of tea and a sit down in front of a lap top giving my opinion of soap powder and other related products. After 15 mins I was on my merry way.

Someone must have heard my prayer, and I got my request.

The downside is that I took me into the next hour of parking.  >:(

Cupboard cleaning may continue later.

Hi everyone,

My first post, ever, anywhere.

I've lurked in the dark hole of guestland for about a year now and finally taken the plunge and registered a few days ago.

Could I be no. 3000?  Always sure I was somehow special.

Thanks for all the informative and v. entertaining posts.

Thanks, RK,

have to admit, I'm not that Boris. He was amusing though.
Can't quite imagine him pootling around an allotment in his wellies, or shovelling horse stuff.
The doctor bloke was a larff too.
