Site Forum

During a break from sorting and storing cards, I was curious to see how many accounts there are on the site. Using the advanced search feature in the Member Directory, it looks like, as of today, there are 65,885 accounts on the site. Notice I say "accounts", not members. There are members who have multiples accounts for various reasons. I did a little further digging and ran a search on accounts that have been logged into in the past 30 days, 90 days, 6 months, and 1 year. Then, crunched the numbers into percentages:

65,885 Total accounts.

• 10,141 logged in the last 30 days (15.4%)
• 15,245 logged in the last 90 days (23.1%)
• 20,062 logged in the last 6 months (30.4% )
• 26,857 logged in the last year (40.8%)

Something I figured I'd put out there. Please discuss if you'd like.

Good stuff, I've ballparked that we had 10K active members before, but never seen the data on it, nice!

These numbers have come up before.  Today numbers are a little higher, so it appears we are getting more new members then we are losing over the time spans.

The numbers come up when we were talking about having the accounts of old members hidden from seeing them and from matches and reports.   But allowing them to be seen when the members log in again.   The big thing with members replying was at what point do you hide the accounts.  6 months, 9 months or a year.

I even contacted Admin and give him the numbers during that time.    Asking if he would/could hide all the FS/FT and want lists of members who have not logged in for (X) months.    He could leave the total number of members and allow members to see their profile and collection but not having their cards FS/FT and Want lists to show up on matches or reports.      His reply was:   Not now as he was very busy and as others may want to see them.

Trade matching has an option to select how recent the members have logged on - 7 days, 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, 6 months, 1 year, or all members.

10k members in the last 30 days seems like a solid number, probably a lot higher than other sites. 

Also, if a member who is "active" everyday but doesn't respond to trade offers is no different than someone who hasn't logged in for 2 years. 

Same with recent matches.

Sorry I should have stated this was before the "Recent Matches and Trade Matching" was done.   Those appear to be a work around instead of hiding lists.  It was when most of us used the reports "Match items on your Wantlist with items on other members' For Sale / Trade lists"     I have 231 Sets on it and over 60% are not active but they show up and you have to go to the card to get the option for 30 days.

I do not see an option for log in dates with Trading Matches,  just filters for feedback and countries.  

I do not see 7 days ether.

I love this feature!  I also submitted a feature request to further allow you to select by most recent transaction. Many people use this sight, and this feature would allow you to see who is actively trading. 

BTW, nice work on crunching the numbers Snyderart!
