When I first joined this forum a little over 2 months ago, I ran into the download limit. I sent a message to the administrator and the answer I got would not reveal the formula for how the download limit was determined, only that it was based on conributions to the forum. So I went about posting text and images; and progressed rapidly from apprentice to junior to Senior Ladyboy Lover. Thus far I have 471 posts, 1600+ uploaded attachments, and 208 reputation points to my credit. Unfortunately I did not track the numbers, and thus do not know when I was upgraded in status to each level. I do know that it did not take more than a week of membership before I stopped encountering a download limit.
Well, so far, fine and good. I was happy sharing pics and my thoughts on this forum. Up until a few days ago, that is. Then I got a rude awakening from Tread. I had posted several T-Girl games and wasn't getting any involvement in the way of answers. Tread was so kind as to point out that because of download limits, most forum members would not upsize the pics in order to play the game. This surprised me as I had just assumed that most members would have progressed to the point where they were not restricted in their download limit as I had. I went back and checked. It was true. The view count was way below what I had expected. The highest view count I could find was in my thread - Slideshows.... , and it was only around a 100.
So what the hell was going on here? The home page claimed over 30 thousand members, 4,345 of which were active (whatever that means) and the view count for the thread stands now at 4,343 which is nearly one view per active member; realizing of course that multiple views by individual members are most likely reflected in this count.
So if I assume that actually only one fourth of the view count reflects visits by differant members, we can say that only 1 out of 10 viewed and downloaded the most popular pic on the thread. That seems to be a very low percentage to me and indicated that tread was correct. Too many members of the forum are restricted in their download limit.
I have to go somewhere now, but more on this later.
