Is Amiga.org growing??
« on: January 20, 2010, 05:02:50 PM »
Remember asking something like this before, but got no answer...

Is Amiga.org growing or shrinking?  Is there any way to see a graph of traffic to the site over the years?  That would be cool.

How many 'regulars' are there etc?

Quickly using the Members -> Experience page and ordering by descending order of activity, all scores are 0% after the 1197th user.

So it's fair to say that 1197 members have posted at least once since the "member experience" feature was enabled.

The true figure may actually be a fair amount higher, but your activity score decays towards zero after a period of inactivity.

Thanks for the details.

It's pretty strange, when I listed my A4k on ebay the other day, I had a few emails from people in my home town, basically saying "Wow! I didn't know there were any Amiga users in Bangor!"

I wonder how many casual users there are out in the wild, who've never even visited Amiga.org before.

Suppose we'll never know the true figure.  We'll never even know how many Amigas were sold for flip sake!!

Maybe we can illicit more casual users to visit by doing something as simple as advertising A.org in future Miggy listings on Ebay?

Excellent idea!!

Is there an HTML Amiga.org button somewhere that we can link to?

I don't know, but to me it seems it's shrunk after they did the website change.

I thought I was seeing the same thing.  Some people hate change (I can be that way).  It seems like many members are spending less time here and more time on EAB.  They don't run that board with a 1995 mindset like this one is.

I find the moderators pretty harsh on this site and resistant to change, defensive, or not open to user ideas/feedback.

All the moderators do is moderate. New ideas/feedback regarding the site should be directed at the site administrator, not the moderators since we generally can't actually do anything about whatever idea it is you may have.

And far from being resistant to new ideas, how many forums have you used that have an integrated project management tool specifically for reporting bugs and suggestions?

Amiga.org got a spike of new users during the X1000 mystery. We will be advertising Amiga.org in Amiga Future Magazine soon, if anyone else has good marketing ideas for the site please let me know. One thing that would help the site is if more people signed up as paid members. That would give us more marketing dollars to advertise.

You cant be serious??

After all that bollocks where they wouldn't even tell us who they were???

I still don't know who they are!!

Sorry, but there's no way that you could expect anybody to donate money to a business!!

If anything, we should all be getting some stuff for free now that it's been bought over.  Like free @amiga.org email addresses for instance.

Pfft!
