Suprised no one mentioned we hit the 50k mark in total registered members early this morning...

Do new members tend to come back repeatedly or do they tend to ask a question or two and then wander off? I guess a better way to ask the question is: What percentage of new members become regulars?

That would be a question more for Jeremy to answer really. A lot sign up and never even ask a question even, they use it to subscribe to threads, newsletters and such. I would probably say around 30% or so are probably regulars who visit at least on a montly basis, but that is my estimate, as yes, some will ask a question, get their answer and never come back.

Many just sign up and post 1 thread: "Which linux do I use" (or something) and then leave....

or within 10 posts put up a "Windows rules, linux sucks" thread

joking -> that's actually gone wayyyyyyy down lately. Which is cool. If its because of the mods well hats off to you guys!

I am there with asb. I get most of questions answered with a quick search on here. It usually gives me more than enough to work through whatever situation I am in. So I am here, I just don't post alot.

I only post when I know what I'm talkin' about... Which is rare, but becoming rarer

I learn this linux stuff quickly, I guess.
it's just so damned logical.
