I started researching ForumCoin just to fully understand what the Reputation Points meant to the members and to the site.The research has expanded to many other details, and one big thing that came to light are the number of older members who post for awhile then vanish. Their posts just stop. On the other hand, I have also many noted older members who vanished for months or even years suddenly start in again.
Over time, I've come to know and look for a lot of familiar user names during my searches and find they are just no longer active. I've noted over 100 familiar names of older users who have not posted anything in the last 30 days even though they were active after January 1. An average of 30 more stopped posting in each 30 day span before that. I have also noticed a lot of them have logged in to view content, but have not posted anything during their multiple visits. Several have come back to visit multiple times even though their last posted content was in 2016 or earlier.
As older members move on to other interests, newer members join the crowd and blend right in to fill the empty spaces. Even though there are now over 4447 registered members, I have not seen more than 150 active members in any recent 30 day span.
If you are not watching the list of "who was here" on the home page, it is impossible to notice every previously active member who is no longer active or any of the new members who join the fray everyday. They just sorta blend in as another familiar name. It is a constantly changing community.
