Active members count
Could we please have an active members count next to the total members count. The active members count could total the number of members that have logged in in the last 30 days. This would then show that this place isnt as quiet as it sometimes seems, seeing as I reckon our active members count is probably about 20 people or so. Ive seen this done on other forums, so I know it is possible.

Re: Active members count
I'd estimate the activity count,especially if tallied over a 30 day basis,to be higher than 20 members.
I recently made a conservative estimate regarding this,curiously enough, in a conversation with a friend,where I said 30,but I was being cautious and was a bit too reserved with that number,I 've since been thinking,as members come and post and go then return,so it's a slow but steady grower here.How syncronous this is,lol. [wink]
That aside,I have no reservations about it being added,but I also pay attention to the lurker count :i.e.number of guests online,which also shows interest is being stimulated.

Re: Active members count
Yeah, theres a huge lurker count, something in excess of 50 people a day I reckon - the question is how do we turn lurkers into active members? We need a tactic - maybe you could give them signed photos of you if they join up or something?

Re: Active members count
That aside, do you reckon theres any chance to have a counter that monitors how many people are using the forum so that people can see that this place is really active? I reckon it would attract more people to the forum if they can see that people are actually using the place, rather than it just saying the number of accounts that are registered.

Re: Active members count
I think signed photies of me might have the opposite effect,lolololol ....
Given my own lurking propensities,I 'd say it's a matter of time and trust,more than owt else.I tend to hang around a while before joining in anywhere even now,but I was oh so very shy and nervous about joining in when I first found online Occult and Pagan forums,online.I felt everyone else was more knowledgable and much more well read than I was,so I 'd wait for ages before I felt confident enough to post.
This would be something for Vashta to sort out,as far as I 'm aware,I'll check though,but as he handles the skin related features and the coding aspects,it is likely we need him to activate it.
I'll flag this and the other topic [re :more moderators] in the admin board too.You could drop him a pm also,if you wish?

Re: Active members count
Hi, sorry for the massive delays getting back to you guys, feels like I've not really been around since before Christmas.
It's something I can look into, the forum is PHPBB based so if there's a plugin for that, we can add it. I'll put it onto a list of things i need to check up on

Re: Active members count
The thing with the lurkers is like Nahemah said: When I was younger and started dealing with topic myself I found myself lacking crucial knowledge to conversate. Now I know I lack knowledge but have enough motivation and curiosity to write questions. On the other hand I would be lurker if I knew there is a chance to be mixed with a mud for "dumb" question...
