It says on the "What is Second Life" page that there are 366,332 accounts. How many of those accounts actually participate in these forums?
Is this a smaller community than you think it is?

Your forum icon prompted me to try the Opera content block function.

From: Sabrina Blabbermouth What's that? Image block, it keeps the browser from displaying your forum avatar. Also now that I see that it works it is blocking the forum header image as well. I am so tired of seeing that same picture!

Way to keep on topic Suezanne.
Sabrina what exactly do you mean by "use"?
Read? Post? Both?

In terms of active forum accounts, everyone but "Guests."
In terms of aggregate posters since the beginning of time, roughly around a quarter I'd think.
And regularly (once a week), less than 300.

The idea of taking a poll of forum users to ask what percentage of total users use the forums strikes me as unlikely to yield useful information.
There seems to be a rather large percentage of people providing the implausible first answer.

Ask for some raw numbers in the hotline e.g. how many unique, non-linden avs have posted each month for the past year. Well I mean if you're interested in a real answer rather than what we all think off the top of our heads.

I expect a lot more people read the forums than post. It also seems reasonable to assume that people have a few areas of interest and generally leave the rest of it alone.

I don't participate in the forums, so it's probably one less than whatever you all thought.

From: nimrod Yaffle Do we use SL, or do we play SL? Depends on who you ask! I use SL, sometimes I play while using it. I think the people who insist on saying that we play SL are limiting their possibilities to much. But anyway, offtopic. I voted 1000-5000. |
