You are correct about the member numbers, but do you know how many of those are SPAM bots? Do you know how many of those users have logged in this year? What about last year? Do you know how many users login each day? Because, I do.
I cant control when or why people login. I cant control that out of 410 views, there were only 33 votes and 18 replies. I cant force people to contribute. What I can do is take into account the people who CHOOSE to participate. And those people chose, Yes.
Believe me when I say, I KNOW I will NEVER make some people happy regardless of what I do. I have accepted that and I am okay with it. However, I will do my best to make the people happy who choose to be heard.
