I was looking at the log in page of Evony Community earlier and saw it said we have:
Threads: 190,454
Posts: 1,839,264
Members: 847,794
Active Members: 44,995
It made me think 'what is an active member?'
Is that someone who has logged in recently?
How recently is taken into account?
Is it someone who has posted?
How many people actively post?
Names with lines through them - are they people that are banned? have infractions? Do accts get removed permanently or are they just blocked from posting?
Threads
Does that include the archived threads?
How many of those are active?
On an aside ... lots of threads are filled with game improvement suggestions. Are those suggestions taken to a board for discussion? If a suggestion is seen as good where does it go? Who discusses it? Is it even discussed at all? If an improvement were agreed to be good and were to be implemented what is the time taken to do that and the cost?
e.g. The Berninis Hammer - how long did that take to code, test and insert into the game and how much did it cost in man hours?
e.g. Adding a new HH - same as above
e.g. A server merge - same as above


Most helpful. It seems more banned people log in than unbanned LOL - well that was the case when I looked.
