Statistics and implications for support for the show

LOTSW Fanatic
I think that Cleggy would have a feel for statistics - Compo's study of horse racing form certainly did not utilise statistics. I used to teach the subject.....

However I must be at a loose end: and have been looking at the statistics: I note that almost 50% of members have never posted (59 in fact) and that the top ten posters (about 8% of the total) are responsible for 79% of the posts.

I think this illustrates perfectly the Pareto effect where a small number make the majority of the running.

However is this number of non posters unusual - those who just look and enjoy as compared to those who get more involved. It makes me wonder whether a lot of the support for the series is from a silent majority who do not comment, join in (rather like Cleggy).

Any views from others who may be more used to these forums/fora (depending on your viewpoint about the derivation of the word and the continuation of classical language influence on modern language).
 
It appears to me that the only SW web site with
any significant activity is the Sid's Cafe site and they
have very little to do with SW at all. Mostly friends
chatting.

I guess this all implies that there ain't a lot folks
want to say about LOTSW, except Goodbye Compo.

Not heard of this site - will have to check it out. Anyone else heard of it?
 
I should have mentioned that it's a Yahoo Group called
Sid-and-Ivys Cafe. You gotta apply and be accepted
to join.There's another Yahoo Group just called
summer-wine, but it's been really quiet lately.
