The Reason Why

[Jordyboy9]

The reason why so many repetitive and stupid post are allowed and I include most of mine is the fact that answerbank has over three hundred thousand active members,some scope for advertising.so the powers that be are glad to have stupid repetitive winded posts.

[ummmm]

I wouldn't call them active members. Just members. Some people don't post for years.

>>> answerbank has over three hundred thousand active members

That's an interesting (and totally untrue) statistic, JB9!

[Bazile]

How many of those 300,000 active members , actually browse the site and how often ?

[spathiphyllum]

The general consensus of the average ABer is that they in fact are not very active.

Beunchico, please check sponsored articles and get back to me.

[spathiphyllum]

Sponsored articles?

Bottom of the page, Spath - below the list of categories - next to Site Rules.

C'mon Jordy.......this AB depends upon a couple of dozen members at best.
Many ABers have more than one username and some may even have four "pseudonyms."

Take mamyalanine and Buenchico away from AB and it would dwindle by a half overnight.

AB is just a massive CB and has change considerably over the past 5-6 years.

Chris , in Sponsored Articles - it states ''over 300,000 active members ''

[Theland]

Advertising? So AB owe me money!

People shouldn't believe everything they read (even if the Ed would like them to!)

I got to "is a friendly" and decided it was more lies than truth.

[spathiphyllum]

of course I'm joking... It is a very lovely place

Especially if you want to share your recent diet

Or ask for homework help!

[naomi24]

In my opinion there have never been over three hundred thousand members, let alone 'active' members. That said, we used to have far more than we have now.

[Jordyboy9]

Beunchico,one post your saying that what I posted was an untrue statistic,next you say don't believe the ed your confusing me.

[Buenchico]

There's no disparity in my posts, JB9.

The Ed's claim is clearly untrue. (There are probably no more than a couple of hundred 'regulars' and 'semi-regulars' using this site, with that number being topped up slightly by people who come her just to ask one particular question and who then vanish from the site).

So my statement that you've quoted an untrue statistic holds water, as does my statement that people shouldn't believe everything they read on the web (including that guff from the Ed).

I wonder if the advertisers are aware . :-)

[anneasquith]

Maybe the guff wasn’t from the Ed. .?

[Jordyboy9]

Thanks beuonchico,that clears that up ,never believe anything you read on here even from the editors.
