Re: If (the PM XP system) ain't broke, don't fix it

I second your numbers.

I logged in, but for what?

Simply to vote? Simply to chat? Maintain my personal node, as web hosting? actively ask questions? actively provide answers?

You appears to unreasonablly simplify the meaning of those numbers. If you cannot give those numbers a more meaningful analysis, let's don't quote them to mislead people.

They logged in to do something, and have presumably done so other times as well. I agree that the data is not that detailed, but that's what I had to work with. My point was that perlmonks appears to have a pretty good addiction rate, and I think that is a good thing. Other statistics I thought of gathering, that perhaps someone else will take up: Number of monks who joined and shortly thereafter asked a question who stuck around and contributed more (to see if perlmonks offers more than just a one-time help desk to these folk). Obviously, not having AM's included in this is a flaw. Some kind of evidence of progression from asking questions to also answering them.	[reply]
