I own a mustang site that caters not only to mustangs (UnitedStangs.com), but all cars, and military personnel. I am active duty myself. I have owned the site less than a year (bought my partner out), but the site is 3 years old. My stats:

We prune monthly

Forum up for 1+ year. Registered members : 4,210

The fastest growth was from 3K members to 4K members.
(took less than 1 month for that)

I never get the ratio of members to posts on some forums. I mean I have like 4 times as many posts as some of you but a third of the members. You guys must have tons of people that just register and never come back! I bet if you were to do a pruning of inactive members, your totals would shoot downwards lol.

I think it should be about how many active members we have, not the total. :)

[QUOTE=Karl89;1611267]coming upto 3000!

I think it's time to move on because I didn't realise how difficult popular boards are to maintain. :(

Some boards delete more posts/threads than other boards, while some boards delete nothing. I would expect that with higher post - member ratio or with higher post - thread ratio, the staff may be less active with moderation.
