Members over 66,000

It seemed that recently when I sign in ( almost everyday) the list of new messages grows and the number of members have increased to over 66,000. I think just in 2019 I saw about 48,000. If anyone has kept tract, or Doug if there is a day by day counter that is stored , let me know, as I don't usually look at the front page Jim

Over 66,000? Do we really have members that old? (I mean, besides Doug...)

 

found it. never mind.

 

I suspect a lot of our new members have come from having watched You Tube videos. John Wexler wrote me that this had created a lot of excess baggage for him when people sent submissions and mentioned You Tube.

 

And if someone googles something about a coin cointalk is frequently one of the first things that comes up so we get a lot of people that will join ask their one question (because they have to join to post) and then disappear.

 

That’s what I was wondering. Seems we usually have between 50-70 members on most days. Does the site purge a member that asked a question and didn’t come back for years or anything like that?

 

The number of those infected with the CT bug has been going up but I think the hospitalizations have been going down.

 

Well if I gotta have a injection for my CT fever, my wife will have to have a full blown transfusion for her Facebook fever!

 

Randy, we've got natural immunity by now, we don't need no stinking injection.

 

66,000 only a few hundred remaining that are still constantly active.

 

How do you think I feel, sitting here reading comments like this from people younger than I am?

 

My question would be did the membership growth occur when Covid happened? Seems like people staying home were/are bored and turn to what is available at home (coins) to become more interested in. Just a thought.

 

Mountain Man. No, I have been retired for a few years. I have had more time to devote to my collection. The pandemic has allowed more time with family and that is also good, in a way. Just hope we all stay healthy and happy. Hopefully, the growth at CT will continue with dedicated members, such as yourself, to carry on the desire to be recognized as a knowledgeable and wise collector! Great question, thank you.

 

I have not posted anything for a long long time. But i do look and learn from this site almost everyday. So I thank those who do post.

 

I wonder how many of those 66,000 are still active. I'll bet it isn't near that many.
