I know that I and a few others have posted some forum stats, but I found this one interesting (assuming I'm interpreting it correctly).

On the right hand side bar of the forum, it says:

Max Online: 2283 @ 08/25/16 03:52 PM

That's out of 25755 total registered users (so about 8% of the total registered users), which I think is still a lot for concurrent access.

However, I went and looked at the user universe and found that over 13,0000 of those 25755 have not even logged on to the forum since 2010. Looking further, you find that 22,000 of them have not even been online since 2015. That leaves about 3700 users who have actually logged into the forum since the end of 2015.

So of those remaining 3700 users or so who have logged in since 2016, about sixty percent of current active members were online at the same time on 8/25/16. Of course, there were fewer registered members last August, so WOW!!!

That's pretty cool.

Yes, I did similar research a few months back. We do have quite a high participation percentage among those who are not one-time posters.

August?! I can see November, December or January when many are checking for annual update for Windows version or June for annual update for Mac version but August? Come on. What was going on then?

Does Max Online: 2283 @ 08/25/16 03:52 PM count also include the robots and anonymous guests who aren't actually part of the 25,000 registered users?

What am I missing? Would that not be self evident?

This is the post I made in early February.

Yep, I remember that posting, Matt. I was looking at it this time from the perspective of "logged in" to the forum versus making any posts. Amazing that 22,000 of the 25,000 registered users have not even logged in to the forum in almost a year and a half.

Are "remember me" logins counted?

Actually, if you look at your profile, it shows "last online" versus "last logged in", so I'm pretty sure it captures you if you are logged in and connected to the forum.

Where do you see this?
If I click 'My Profile' I don't see it, do you?

Sorry, my bad.

I was actually looking at the user database, instead.

You're right, the last online isn't in the "my profile" (I'm guessing, since you're clearly online right now to view your profile). But it is in the user list (which is sortable by the various columns).

So they ARE tracking me <grin>
I still don't see the 'Last Logged In' you mentioned, but that Last Online one makes sense.
I'm a web guy so I notice these things (usually) ..
