<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2318744, member: 112&quot;]That depends on how you wish to define &quot;active&quot;. There are thousands of members who access or visit CT every day, but rarely if ever post. I would say they are active because they come here all the time, some every day - you may not. You may say that to be active you have to post. But how often do you have to post for you to consider somebody active ? Take Byron Reed for example, he was our 13th member, and here is posting in this thread last summer, but he&#039;s only made 58 posts in 13 years. Is he active, in your opinion ? Or mikenoodle, he joined in 2003, just posted today, but he sure doesn&#039;t post everyday. Sometimes he goes for months without posting. Is he active ? </p><p><br /></p><p>So that&#039;s a couple of ways of looking at it. In total since day one that CT has existed we have had 77,000 people register as members of CT. But if you look at the main page <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/forums" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/forums">https://www.cointalk.com/forums</a>&nbsp; you will see our total number of members at 37,882. Why the difference ? It&#039;s because some months ago Peter went to through the every tedious process of contacting each and every individual who ever registered via the email address that they had provided. Those 37 thousand plus responded. To me, that makes them active members. The 40 thousand who did not respond are not included in our membership number you see on the main page.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you want to know who posts a lot Charlie, well all you have to do is take a look around. And when you do, just remember there are thousands of others who are also looking around. And that&#039;s just the ones we count. There are thousands more who never even bother to register at all, and yet they come here every day.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
