Hey Barry
Great question and wish I had an exact answer. I think people's participation level is as vast as our imagination. I do hear what you are saying. Quite honestly, I have never heard of 98% of the people registering nowadays. I sort of think that is a good thing as we have a lot of fresh blood on our vintage board (sort of an oxymoron, or irony or something...
) If you look at the Meet and Greet thread you will see quite a few 30-somethings. I think that is a great thing. Many folks really do start on the newer cards (which are great, wonderful, spectacular and I love all collectors) and then move back towards our gems. So, in answer to your question, I have no idea
>. I do think the new folks mostly hang around but just don't post too often. We generally have well over a hundred people that have logged in within a few hours (as can be seen at the bottom tally) and over 1000 real members a day checking the board out. That info is in the back end of the s/w that only other moderators and I can see. best regards
