Ok, but how many are active?

Here I am !!!!

I think about 34.

You bring up a good point. I am sure there are a large amount of accounts who joined just to give someone a referral. There are also those who joined thinking they will get rich. I would estimate that about half or less are active on a regular basis.

"There are also those who joined thinking they will get rich."

What? You saying I can't get rich on this site?

Peter, change that to 33, I am leaving. Tom say I can't get rich here so why bother?

ha ha

35 you forgot me.....hahahaha

"What? You saying I can't get rich on this site?"

OK, I am sorry, I did not mean to burst your bubble. LOL

You can become rich if you have nothing and you add something so I guess I am wrong. LMAO

6699?? who knows????

thank you for your nice comments to me... Blessings...

You're welcome Necee and thank you for reading my article!

I would say that ACTIVE members probably total about 100.

I think it changes every day. Some people come, some go...it's hard to tell. LOL Shannon

No idea. Good question though. I am curious how "active" would be defined.

I think some people are very active, some people are somewhat active, some people are sometimes very active, some people are sometimes somewhat active...and some people came and went in a flash!

I have absolutely no idea, but it's a good question. I'm curious about it now too.

That's a good question. I'd say about 1/4 of the accounts are active.

1/4 is a good guess.I 2nd that

So do we know how many gather.com users there are now, and how many are active? This article is going on over a year old now ...

Now there's 87,714 updated profiles.

And the total member count is about 1 million higher, at least 1.45 million last check.

I guess there are only 2,000 accounts that could be considered active- used within the past month or so.

This post is 3 1/2 years old ... so some things may have changed. I am sure that a few new accounts have been registered over those three-plus years. But the question remains - how many of the hundreds of thousands, possibly even a million, people that have created an account on Gather are still accessing the site on a regular basis?

See below for more commentary.

Yes, this is an old post... I found the link on Wikipedia. I'll look at the comments below.

Seriously? a link to this was on Wikipedia?? Wow! Hitting the big time!! Thanks for the info!

I am guessing about only 100 on the political groups.

90 conservatives trying to wake people up / 10 socialists who are friends with Gather Support and are trying to get the 90 kicked off.

I don't know about the other groups on Gather.

ROFL

Really I think it's on a dozen blowhards on both sides of the aisle running their mouths at full-speed without their brains in gear! (that is assuming they even have brains) Neither side is in touch with reality, and neither side has any answers, they just like to scream at each other. BTW, any excess in membership of these quarreling factions are the result of their multiple acct/logins.

In spite of the ever-increasing member-roll on Gather, there seems to have been no appreciable increase in the number of truly active members on the site. The number of regularly active members

This post is aimed directly at Gather, but it is really applicable across the web where it has become acceptable for websites, especially social media sites, to "falsify - embellish - purposefully over-state" their membership numbers! While this practice may be "accepted" within the social media industry, the math is flawed, the logic is perversely self-serving, and the average person knows these reported numbers are complete bullsh_t! Chalk it up to the same group of bean-counters that think it is OK to lie to investors, clients, account-holders, and manipulate and report falsified information about financial transactions that caused the recession we are stuck in!

To me, an "active account" has recent activity - they have at least logged into the service within the past 30 days. Any member that has not logged into the site within the past year should be deleted from the ranks - that person is no longer a member - period! Those that fall within the other 11 months are at best "non-active" members.

To me, an "active account" has recent activity - they have at least logged into the service within the past 30 days.

This is reasonable. I agree, sites don't want to report these numbers because they would be considerably lower. As I said before, I can't imagine there being more than about 2,000 active accounts here, by this definition.

I don't want Gather to delete accounts after a year, but if there was some other action that could be taken for inactive accounts (such as marking them inactive?), that would be okay.
