Is Apolyton Retaining New Members?
It seems Apolyton is recruiting new members at an amazingly fast pace, faster than ever. And yet, the same 20-100 people seem to be the ones doing the vast majority of the posting.
Are many of these newbies remaining with the site? Or are they being intimidated away by an ever increasingly self-referential group of 'quasi-elites?'
I don't know the exact data numbers of remaining registerees who came in January, etc. but as far as I can see, with a few notable exceptions such as HongHu, they are posting quite seldomly.
The trend seems to be 1 or 2 posters posting in the 1000's and the vast majority posting in the 0's and 1's as opposed to the elder days when 1 or 2 posted in the 1000's, and 20 posted in the 100's and 150 posted in the 50's and the rest posted in the 1's and 0's
Now, of course, I might be mistaken, and the newbies might just be buried in the morass of 10-20 posters posting 20 times in every thread, but if anyone has any experiential or quantifiable data to oppose my statements with, I would please ask people to think about the possible reprecussions resulting from my claim.
