Active members today 1050, very good, but the latest member is still the same???
So I suppose the criterium for active ew membership has been changed overnight, that can be done easily, just extend the time laps, e.g. has been on line or posted in the last 3 months > the last 4 months.
Actually I am not at all interested in these stats, the interesting people are now in other places, by their own choice or chased away. How sad for a once so good forum ruined by bad management and disrespect for members... Off to more positive thoughts and a good laughter...

EW massaging the numbers?! I'm shocked!
Of course, we'll soon see all the phantom members appearing again like joebloggs123, maryjones789, susanfan9999, etc.!
I suppose they could also redefine 'active member' to be anyone with a pulse. But having seen some of their members, that would make the number of active members about 4!

This is why I do not believe anything when stats are quoted. They are be geared to fit the situation. I guess we will see the member numbers drop again for the next month and then they can change the rules again in another month.
Chances are that the numbers jump up because something happened 30 days ago which had a lot of people who had been dormant popping in for a look to see what was going on -- you know how controversy always draws people like flies! Anybody remember what happened on or around January 26th?

No, but on February 1 the World Fan Meet was announced by the OS group. Could be close enough!

I would like to inform this forum that nor the Admins or the Staff have been informed about this Meet and Greet. Susan has been very clear in her wish not to have events with a great amount of fans.
Going to Scotland without previous approval of Susan or her team is an intrusion on Susan's life and on the people of Blackburn.
Whatever you do, please do it via private messaging. I'm therefore closing this thread while I consult with Susan's team and see what Susan wants to do regarding fans celebrating with her and will get back to you.
No, the criterium must have been reset, in the last month there have been only 6 new members...

I understand what you are saying Tonnie. They cannot simply re instate the ones that dropped off last month. Whatever, they will skew the stats for their gain.
It's really hard to believe, but I'm not interested anymore in their "half truths"...

Well closing threads is par for the course isn't it. ?? I call it taking away freedom of speech. But this isn't the first time nor will it be the last. This is what one can call a dictatorship.

Does anyone really believe ANYTHING that crew puts forward anymore?? All the mods, admin., and THEIR minions could have 10 usernames apiece by now! In the off-time, with no Susan news, they expect us to believe that active membership spiked in one day by about 100 members!!! Does anyone want to buy the Brooklyn Bridge?--I can get it cheap!!!

No thank you on the Brooklyn Bridge and no thank you on believing the sudden spike of 100 members at SBFII. I don't think I am that stupid. SBFII can mess around with figures and make it come out the way they want it to.

I think Tonnie is right, Clix. If someone who was not active suddenly showed up, they would be counted as an active member immediately, not 30 days later.
There are three ways they could have gotten more active members:
1) More members sign up. That was not the case. The latest member was the same.
2) A lot of inactive members suddenly become active again. Unlikely without an event such as a CD or appearance.
3) Change the definition of active member. This is the most likely. They can specify the number days that must pass before a member is considered inactive.
vBullletin Manual:
Active Members Time Cut-Off Enter a number of days here that represents a threshold for 'active' members. If a user has visited the board within the past number of days you specify, they are considered 'active'.
Enter '0' to treat all members as 'active'.
I expect EW will be changing it to '0' soon, if they haven't already.

The sad thing is if the bloody place had been run right there would be no need to massage the membership figures. They don't seem to grasp that fact.

If Tonnie hadn't put the graph in here, I wonder a) If the admins or mods would have noticed how their numbers had gone down b) suddenly changed the goalposts to make it look as if the numbers have gone up again?!?!?!
Fudgie, how much is the Brooklyn Bridge going for - in South African Rands please, I may well be interested as an investment!!!

It went down ----
Threads 9,095 Posts 431,572 Members 5,222 Active Members 974 seems like a roller coaster now!
Wow, they're dropping like flies: 968 active members now. Just think of how many of those are lurkers, too, as I imagine that not more than 40 or 50 actually truly participate, as in post and interact with other members there.....
