Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

I'm afraid it started to go a little over my head, so the drop off of people has increased but then so have the totals?

Probably need to find out exactly what an active member is..

Hey Charlie, doesn't count if it isn't verified by an independent authority. Hehehe
And it is the quality, not the quantity that counts. I reckon some pretty special people support our forum It keeps me off the streets anyway.

The best part is the new user could be a bug Dr.

That could be handy if a lady bug sprains her ankle or something.

If they are, it will be a nice (and unusual) addition to the member skills thread

Yea the numbers dont really mean anything at all but hey... it filled in my day.

Next time, just come over and mow my lawn

Actually I think the numbers are interesting. I have an account on every aquaponics forum I know of, but I dont actually go there. Same with a stack of other forums about everything else I study. There always tends to be one "stand out" forum for the topic at hand.

All the notifications I get from here are about active topics I've subscribed to. Most of the other notifications I get from MOST of the other places are junk mail, and notifications about being notified about notifications. Most, but not all.

What I'm trying to say is there is a big difference between membership, and active membership.

I set up a new email account for every new forum, but there are are a few (like BYAP) that I port to my real email.

YIPEE
