Is that a trend we are seeing with communities online? Spammers ultimately win with posting garbage. I guess those forums lack people to moderate?

Typically 20 percent of members will provide 80 percent of the content in your online community. Don’t forget the 80/20 rule.

A lot of the posts are just the numbers written out but I'd say at least half, maybe 2/3rds have other conversation on them. We use it to chit chat. Small stuff not worth making a whole new thread for. Michelle We’re up to 1408 on the Count to a million thread.

I kinda like Gary's "Count to 1 Million thread" idea to get members active, although I agree with you Martin in wondering what use it would be, or where would you go from there? Thanks for your post as always. Getting more of your online community active is ideal, because what is the point if you don’t have active members.

So it was a coincidence to come across a link to this article.

I always said that having a ton of members don’t mean anything if they’re not active. The question isn’t how many members you have, but how many ACTIVE members you have.

There is also another question that I needed to ask…I will e-mail you this one.

What other place can you order a pizza find a date, get carpet cleaning, and send mail?? The yellow pages are on the way out the door, just makes more sence to find everything online.. Patrick P.s.

I'd love to see what you come up with. My printer should be arriving today and I plan on making up flyers this week and putting them out just after Christmas. Hopefully I'll catch all the people with new computers for Christmas. :) Gary / Martin: I stole the count to a million idea and it's actually working well. I wasn't sure if I wanted a thread full of numbers but it's turned into a conversation starter. Someone else suggested that we could put just a number or add a little post if we wanted to say more. And then another person mutated it into putting the number and then something to go with the number. So it's actually turned into a fun thread. We're only up to 30 so we have a long way to go. :) Michelle Martin: Sorry, missed your reply earlier. I’d love to see what you come up with.

Ask yourself this - how do you build relationships with new people you meet in real life? Copy this in your online community.

I found the points describing reasons for not having many members in the community and the link complimenting your members most useful. Thanks for sharing this. Very nice post.
