Hi there.

Dear Be_my_nude, i only stated my discontentment with the limit, i was far more interested in knowing how the linit was calculated than having to ansewer people who didn't seem to unserstand the consept of venting one's frustrations, and i felt like i had to explain why i was venting, and tried to get this thread back where i want it to go since I DID start it, to know how the limit is calculated, but it always went back to everybody focussing on the venting, but NO ONE HAS GIVEN ANY INFO ABOUT THE MATH OF THE LIMIT, WHICH IS WHY I STARTED THIS THREAD IN THE FIRST PLACE. And after all these kilobytes of little attacks i felt i should ansewer, still no info, only one has addressed this and didn't have much info, but hey he didnt attack my venting, and I DID KEEP MY COOL, I DIDN"T CURSE ANYBODY OFF EVEN IF I FELT LIKE IT, i tried to make them understand my point of vue, but they still only saw their point of view and discounted mine, what should i have done?

And another thing i'd like to add, the critique is always easyer than the art.

Hi there.

I appologize, i completely forgot i posted that one i was sure i hadn't, starting this one instead a bit later.

I was wrr...

I was rawghh...

I was woyn...

Damn, i can't say it.

But seriously, i do appologize again, sorry.

I'll be nore carefull, and hopefully there won't be a next time.

But enough about the my bitching about the limit, and ansewer the question about the picture per post INCLUDING the "reputation" points, that what i want to know, LEAVE THE REST ALONE THERE HAS ALREADY BEEN WAY TOO MUCH SAID ABOUT IT AS IT IS.

It is time to look at the numbers.

Active members - 4,377

Members with 100 posts or more - 164 (3.75 % of active membership)

Members with more than
one green reputation box - 60 (1.37 % of active membership)


After looking at these numbers, I am a bit flattered that I had as many people upsize and possibly download any of the attachments I posted as I did. I was tremendously surprised to see that I, who have only been a member for a few months, was so high on the list of participating members in terms of posting and reputation.

Now this ain't my first rodeo, to use a saying popular out here in Wyoming, and I know that many organizations have a core of 10 percent of the members who do 90 % of the active work. And I know that some of the members are non-English speaking folk who are unable to post comments and may even be unable to understand much of what goes on here.

From what I have been able to surmise, this forum has been in existance a little over two years. This leads to several questions.

1. Are the above percentages an acceptable percentage of member participation?

2. Would a more generous download limit lead to increased participation?

3. Would a posting of an explanation of how the system of participation and rewards works lead to more participation? Perhaps this could be incorporated into a "Mission Statement"?

4. Does anyone else have suggestions or questions that fit into this discussion?

Hi there.

To be honest i don't realy know what all these numers mean in the grand scheme of things, also you can't realy force someone to be something he is not.

Remember the story of the frog and the scorpion?

Some people will always participate and some will never, most people are somewhere in the middle, and if they HAVE TO participate, the ones that don't like to participate may just leave, or post just to post, and what's the point of that really?

Remember the GIGO syndrome?

I suspect that an awfully high percentage of the total membership signed on out of passing curiosity or to see what pickings they could get. I bet a load of these are fairly moribund members - participation and activity not really being their thing. There is probably a record out there in the obscure electronic statistics of this forum showing who the most active members are, and how many hits they make per week. It is those members whose views should be sought to my mind.

Not sure about the Mission Statement idea. Good on the face of it, but would it make any real difference ?

Jenae - item 2. I really doubt it. Short term surge from the existing membership but after that . . . . ?

As always
