5,000 users sounds like a lot to me, feels like there's only a few hundred regular posters

I'm pretty sure there's a post somewhere where stet broke down the entire ilx user base scientifically. I can't find it at the moment, but there's this:

I still long for the days of a screenshot of 1 Active Users (that isn't after an outage)
I remember ILE starting and never even clicked on it until 2004ish as i was only interested in reading about music (hence why people long for old ILE lol )

Yeah, I stayed on ILM for a while when I started. ILE seemed weird and scary to me. I did not love everything. I wasn't sure if I wanted to go to ILX Heaven.

Yeah, I stayed mostly on ILM for years before dipping a toe into ILE. I think I migrated to ILNFL before I even went to ILE.

I feel like I read somewhere that lurker / contributor ratio on forums tends to be 90%/10%, so.... ~5000 posters, ~50000 lurkers...?

Or, you know, whatevs the correct math is 🎃

I think you posted a 10%/100% which means lurkers are 100% and we are the posting 10% which seems about right
