Soon 4000 members on the forum

Post by rockn »

The numbers of forum members is growing each day. It seem that there is an average of 4 new members each day.

So I bets that there will be 4000 members the November 3rd 2014. :mrgreen:

What's your opinion :?:

PS : This is strictly an useless post, I don't plan anything with this ;)

Hello rockn,

I think the number of forum members is artificially high, because back when the forum, the wiki and the bug tracker were hosted on Sourceforge, anyone who would register a Sourceforge account would automatically be registered to any project's web apps.

At least that's what I thought, but I just had a quick look at the members list. Out of 3949 members, almost 2500 of them posted at least once. I would say that figure is more meaningful.

One statistic I was quite happy with is actually the "most users ever online" which is now 71 on last July 9th, a few days after v0.14 was released. The former "record" was around 50 and dated back to 2012 I think. :)

I remember seeing that when it happened and was thinking to myself, "Geeze, FreeCAD is sure getting popular." Most weekends the number is still kind of up there, like 25 - 35 and more on line. We seem to keep having a steady flow of new users in the Help section as well, and hardly a troll among them.

It would be interesting to see statistics, but I'm guessing there are a lot more Europeans visiting the forum than East Coast North Americans. The few times I checked the forum very early in the morning, there were quite more people than in the evenings.

Still, most Windows downloads on SF are from the United States, so I may be mistaken.

That would suggest an obvious conclusion......
Perhaps Europeans are more likely to run Linux and Mac?? :D

Hello,

Yes I know that it's not very meaningful, but it always fun when i talk about FreeCAD to say "Hey there is soon 4000 member at the forum, come on there is a lot of people !" ;)

I also check the number of most users ever online 8-) We have to release 0.15 to break the record !

Have you noticed it? The "most users ever online" record was beat last December, and it was beat again on February 11, 2017: 232 users were online!
