How many new members join per year

Post by Zoomer » Sat Nov 11, 2017 10:44 am

Just wondering if there's a way of finding how many new members join per year. Is there somewhere where this information resides or can it be published?

if you go to the "Members" link at the top left-hand side of the Home Page Andy when on the Members page click on "Joinedyou can sort in ascending or descending order of the data they joined.

As far as I can see you then have to manually count, unless you can copy, one page at a time, into something like Excel. This I haven't tried.

There's at least 2 who joined in 2014 - you and me!

I am sure that Admin could do it, but they have lives to live as well!

If you find the first member for a particular period, using the sort-by-date above, then look in the address bar of your browser, you'll see their member number. Do the same for the last member in a period, take one away from the other.

It won't tell you how many were spammers and subsequently deleted.

It would be interesting to see how many have moved on from driving a zed but stay active on the forum? Perhaps a poll . I’ll do that , right after the qualifying for BRASIL

Thanks Marlon. I was wondering if there are still as many newbies each year or as the cars are getting older there would be a drop off. :thumbsup:

It's quite hard to tell that for certain, because of those 26,449 members approximately 5,000 have been deleted or are inactive. The last year or so has definitely been a crazy time for spammers, at the peak we were toasting 200+ accounts a week.
