• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

User count/Thread count

Oh mah gawd what does it mean!?
The user count is currently at 1,999 users!

Should we commemorate the 2000nd user in some way?

EDIT: Also, the tread count is at 9,099! Soon-to-be 10,000!

You're looking at the user and thread IDs, which count all members/threads that have ever existed, including for example those six hundred spam accounts or whatever it was that somebody made, duplicate threads, etc. On the forum home page there is a statistic thing at the bottom which counts the actual accounts/threads/post that exist now, and that's what Ferasquilee is looking at.

I don't see any particular reason to celebrate that so and so many users are registered, though. It just seems pretty trivial.

if anything, it means only about 1/8 of our members are still around.

...as is generally the case at forums? It's not as if this is some OH THE SHAME deal.
 
out of curiosity what defines a member as being an "active" member anyway? Does it just refer to anyone who's ever made a post, or is there some other defining factor?
 
It's people who've visited in the last thirty days. Unless it's just people who have posted in the last thirty days.
 
it's nothing to be proud of, in that, it's not particularly interesting a statistic.

not that usercount is very interesting anyway.
 
Well, let's test that.

EDIT: It was 318 a minute ago, and it's 318 now. But maybe the statistics don't refresh immediately.
 
The admin CP says it's users who have visited in the last thirty days.
