Yeah, I think the number of actives are low.
I often look at not just the replies, but the FReepers who post them.
I usually recognize 90% of their names. Like you for instance. You’re an active regular.
I think Sunken civ has some algorithm to group threads by subject. I wonder if he or someone else could give a numerical breakdown and names of all FReepers who post in one month in order to see a realistic average of users.
And see, my problem is I recognize just a few names, usually the ones who reply to me as they typically don’t like my posts. But I respond to a lot of things but often I don’t even think about who I am replying to, I post more because of the specific comment or arrticle, not a specific person. So I really don’t have a good feel for how many people really are on here. And when you are around on this place as long as I have been and still see lots and lots of articles posted everyday, it feels like it always has been, for me, anyways.
Oh wow... I could build some little doodad, wouldn’t be that hard (famous last words), to perhaps count the numnber of topics posted for each nick. Yowsah.
