I'm gonna save this thread, and then in a few years if/when the poll numbers start dipping into the triple (or double?) digits, we'll see if we see corresponding inactivity on the boards and stuff. I'm not just looking for board activity, I'm looking for site activity as a whole. But I am saying that "Users On The Boards" number was bigger in 2008, like the poll numbers were bigger in 2008. I'm saying they definitely correlate, and when the poll numbers drop, so shall the "Users On The Boards" number drop. The thing is that nobody is saying the numbers aren't dropping. We're saying that you can't based how much they are dropping by the poll of the day. As StelioKontos showed you, you can see board activity by clicking on it. Of course, that doesn't help you figure out the full amount of people as some people use multiple boards. And it only shows current. So it daily users are sleeping or not on for any reason, you wouldn't know. But that's still a better way then the poll which you'll never know if 20% or 80% are voting on. Without even an average vote percentage of users, you can't find out. And even using the average number of votes doesn't work, since that will average out. Now, if you get a 90% or above vote percentage, that could help to tell you about how many people were on that day. But that's about it. End result is that the poll of the day is not the best way to judge how many people still use this site. it's not even a good way. Only a fool would think that's the best way to find out how many people use this site... --- Official King of Kings Switch FC: 7216-4417-4511 Add Me because I'll probably add you.
