I was wondering if anybody could tell me some numbers

I mean:

- how many subscribers to the forum
- how many readers
- how many copies of WitP sold

Is there any geographical statistic? Like Americas, Europe, Asia.

Cheers

You've done well. Now for a harder question ......

How many of the 14611 member have
a) more than 100 posts
b) more than 100 posts on the WitP forum

a)There are about 918 with more than 100 posts (average 28/page * 32 pages + 22 leftovers). P.S. Yes I know there 30 possible per page but early on some of the Big Names take Big Space

b) This is beginning to look like Real Work! Back to WitP gaming! (p.s. feel welcome to leave number/method here for bragging rights!)

I think that puts us in the ballpark for sales.

As far as how many posters there are?

And then there is a HUGE percentage of people who never even read these boards (much less know they exist). Active posters who play WitP is actually fairly small minority.

Feinder is right. Back in the UV days I had some excellent and dedicated PBEM partners who had 0, or <5 posts on Matrix boards - I don't know whether they just lurked, or didn't visit here at all.

Frankly signal to noise ratio on WITP board is just atrocious sometimes I love the chatter and I love this community but on the days when board is filled with dozen or so Ron Sauracker-ish angry, and pointless complaints I just go on to play without even bothering to read about "peeve of the day"

(Ron no offense, this board would not be the same without you, I just needed a metaphor )

I hardly post at all, their are few of us that don't post to often. That is one of the reasons I don't do any AARs, though I read them a lot. With 6 games going I have my hands full.

Status: offline 		I'm sure matrix has a running number on sales. I would be curious to know how many copies have been sold.

It probably would be rude of me to ask though.

ROTFLMAO!

ain't that the truth...i'm a transplant from florida and i think if californians had to drive in florida rain, half the population would be culled due to "IWSBDS" (Idiots Who Shouldn't Be Driving Syndrome)

but, new law requires headlights when windshield wipers are on...so there is hope
