The big 300!

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

at least your share a landmass with fellow posters. I'd have to go through the joys of long-haul plane flights to meet another member of this board face-to-face :roll: :roll:

At this rate we'll have the whole population of Yorkshire posting here by Christmas!

Is this popularity due to links from people's homepages, word of mouth or what; or maybe the meta tags described elsewhere. Either way, it's a huge increase in Presence!

In fairness, the percentage of actual posters is a lot less - some of the people who signed up in the first couple of months haven't posted even once. Might be a case of forgetting passwords...

Still, don't you feel like purging it a bit? (it would sure free up some usernames)

a few of those were from just after it went live, and were a result of me asking people to sign up ;D

stats-wise there are about 100 members who have never posted, but there's still about 50 posters who have made 100 or more posts. that leaves about 180 who have made between 1 and 100 posts.

someone once said that on a forum its only usually 10 percent of people who make 90 percent of the posts. how does that figure compare with HL? any stats monkeys out there wanna make the calculation?

never thought of that actually... suppose i could do! :!:

from what i've seen there tends to be a hardcore of about 30/40 people who regularly post at any one time, and another floating pool of about 10 or so people that post for a while then disappear, to be replaced by other new members.

on the whole, i'm quite happy with the way stuff is progressing - HL was intended to be a community for people to chat about anything, and a resource for people to find out sisters information, ask questions, make trading/gigging contacts, etc etc - a more "open" version of dominion, in essence. and i think it's doing that just fine.

but there's always room to take stuff forward 8)

in short, though i'm not actively promoting the site in any way (i have flyered smurphs gigs before now), if anyone wants to suggest things i could to do (or that they want to do) to get more members & regular posters then i'm all ears :)

Can I have Holland? Or, at least the Randstad? I am prepared to haggle over Utrecht, but I definitely want Amsterdam and Leiden. I can send East Anglia and Wales in the post if anyone's interested.

You'd have to pay me to take that off your hands - same goes for England... (maybe if you could split scotland off for me.....)
