RHP GENERAL FORUM BIRTH RATE TREND:
OCTOBER: 77 Active Threads / 13 Days = 5.92 / Day... 5.92 / 2.16 = 2.74 or an August to October increase of 174% 🙂
SEPTEMBER: 85 Active Threads / 30 Days = 2.83 / Day
AUGUST: 67 Active Threads / 31 Days = 2.16 /Day 🙁
Note: Believe an internet site's forum poster volume becomes the basis of potential advertiser decisions. More posts and threads = more attractive the RHP Option
and Advertiser Revenues to RHP. Sheds a new light on the necessity for a consistently firm and fair site policy regarding poster behavior and banning policy. gb

smaller volume, would do more to attract advertisers.
And bear in mind that subscribers are shielded from ads. Count the non-subscribers who post, not the threads.

Of course quality matters... in a subjective sense since reader standards vary and, I think, tend to be somewhat relative to taste any maturity. Crap is often less defined by actual content than by the prevailing perceptions and nick of the member. IMO.
More is not better if the threads are self-aggrandizing crap. Where does quality of content fit into your equation? Can quality be accounted for as we look at threads over time? Maybe not - just asking.

Subscriber/non-subscriber mix may be a factor; however, once any particular base is defined and established the percentage difference becomes irrelevant.

Crap is crap even if no one reads it or no one comments on it.
There is a lot of writing available to us now with the ubiquitous interwebs. In the isolation of your room at the home, you can read ancient and current writing from known and anonymous sources. You are a smart guy - you know crap when you read it and you know good writing. You don't need critics to choose for you.
Many posters here put thought into the words they choose and how those words work together - even when they are just going for a quick laugh.
Others do not.
Others want the attention on themselves rather than their words. A good author does not get in between their words and their readers.

circus hucksters and inane posters squatting around the sandbox eventually drive legitimate posters away. Agree?
P.S. #1 Grandson, how about playing the role of Portia and remove Grandpappy from your Iggy. He's motivated to behave.
