….. how many users register and perv and never return?

IenkiMoonshine-
Exactly right!………….. or not?

LOL They could be anything from a one-time viewing kid whose mother took a hammer to the hard drive to a person that has a dedicated puter set up to monitor us 24/7. Either would be the extreme. The only thing we know for certain is that they registered and when.

So I attempt to set a reasonable middle ground (and state what I think it is), [ie …“… 2,394 of us are being watched by more eyes than we ever thought, or a hell of a lot of people like to take the time”] and give you the numbers I have found.

We know that over 13,800 listed members found us interesting enough to register and never posted once. Even if 70% never peeked back one time, (unlikely after registering:rolleyes

that would leave over 4,000 as that 1 out of every 3. To me that’s still a lot and people watching us and would be an increase of 167% over the 2,400 we know that has posted.

How we interpret the figures is both the fun and up to us.

I will just tell you what they are and where I got them. (that second part is ALWAYS something I want to know when somebody throws numbers at me)

PF what about pepple who have registered more than once (reverant & uncle silky) and I have registered more than once, first time changed ISP and lost password and old E-Mail address so I had to reregister and if you look I'm also registered as Lady Pleaser. So if you add all my post together I have over 3100 post.

Scarecrow-
That’s a good point. I’m sure there are anomalies like that on both sides of any two compared figures. To some extent, they will cancel each other, but even if not, it will take 8 of these examples of showing 5 (assuming that your first unknown registration did post) where there really are only 2, to effect that number by 1%.
For my interests, I am not looking for hair splitting comparisons.

Thanks for the percentage, PF but you lost me with the axel analogy. What's a normal-sized axel for a wheel that size?

Steph-
I think you would need to know the load, speed and torque. Then calculate the cantilever force against the tensile strength of the materials.

LMAO I was only attempting to use that analogy to give a better image than a dot in a circle. It’s always more meaningful for me when I can think of a 3 dimensional picture than just a 2D.

..... I do not have a head for numbers!
Just a body of curves
I would love to know the average age of the members and the length of some of the other members!!!!!!!! LOL

BIBI-
I just dream about you having head for members.

As I mentioned before, I’m just multzing around with the membership list at the top of the page. These 11 are the only query tools I have, and you can see the first 5 really aren’t much use for this kind of ferreting.

1 User Name contains
2 and homepage contains
3 and ICQ Number contains
4 and AIM Handle contains
5 and Yahoo Messenger Handle contains
6 and Join Date is after
7 and Join Date is before
8 and Last Post is after
9 and Last Post is before
10 and Number of Posts is greater than
11 and Number of Posts is less than

The last 6 allow me to adjust the parameters for 3 fields. That’s not really a lot to work with.

I don’t have actual database capabilities here.
