88% of our posts made by 2% of our members?

Funny thing is I belong to a few forums, and this always seems to be the case. You'll have a ton of members, but only a small percentage of that will the "regulars". I think we should have a max post count on folks with automatic trannys

 

whatever dude, you are turning into just as big of a post whore as i am! you're just jealous that you're not leading the post count and as long as i'm around you never will be!

 

Only 2% of the people make 88% of the posts. Hmmm. I wonder what percentage of those 66,000 posts are actually meaningful and how much is just banter (maybe 2%).

 

I said in a previous thread that it seems alot of the members are inactive. Some members log on and look but don't post. And some members will post in every thread. I don't post a whole lot, but I'm logged on pretty much all the time. I will usually go to the home page and see what members are online. I guess what I'm trying to say, is alot of people might not feel comfortable posting or they just want to lurk. No real harm done. If that makes any sense. I'm on my third drink so forgive me.

 

personally i find almost 100% of it useful. if its not useful for my truck then its at least useful from keeping me from stapling myself to death at work out of boredom

WHO DOES THAT?!?!

 

i guess some of the new members are kind of afraid someone call them names for asking or posting (i felt like this too) so they just wait around for someone to ask the same question they have, just a thought

 

Well I think new members need to grow a pair. i was a new member here, and I just jumped right in. As long as you use the search function to try to find an answer to your question, you should not worry about getting beat up.

Damn post whores!!!

 

I browse the topics on TW at least twice a day just to see what's going on. However, this is only my 21st post... I guess you could call me a lurker. As member 2749, there's over 400 members with more posts. NDcouch takes the cake though.... at the time I looked (may be more by now) he had 3907 posts over 387 days. That's 10 posts a day! Nice work! I need to get a pair and start posted about everything I can think of.

Boks

 

He is the whore of all post whores and is unemployed and keeps yakking meaningless crap all day. You can't compete with that.

 

jump in anytime. new members and new insults are always welcome

actually i am very employed thank you. if i weren't employed i wouldnt spend so much time at work bored on the computer. i give credit to my job for giving me enough free time to make a rediculous number of posts... most of which are pointless and stupid

 

so if 2% of the total members are posting i would imagine .002% are reading this thread?

 

I think we just hit 89%!

 

thing is.....no one has to worry about that here(yeah we do have alot of sarcasm....but its in good fun), we arent like ttora!!!

so, new members.......feel free to post anything and everything, its gonna get derailed anyway!!

 

i have been on some other web sites and those guys are jerks

 

yeah, i know.....and we just like to have alot of fun here. maybe we should have a new member must read sticky here explaining the sarcasm and joking and all. that way.......people would be less likely to be offended by certain posts.

 

you are right phantom.....i mis worded(if that is a word).....i should have said....."no one should have to worry about that here"

and the post you mention kinda pissed me off(although i didnt say anything), when the guy could have said something like "he is misinformed about the stock tire size"......no reason for anyone to be an asshole or come off as an asshole for a post someone made(unless it is off topic and people know its in a joking manner)!
