Have to say the new M&S board has performed well in terms of recruiting members, and the postings are well up too though much of it is chat/miscellany like here.

I have to smile to think the members there must think they are more 'vulnerable' there, posting on political subjects, because nobody seems to be using their real names as the screen name, I can see initials and spelling variants, and other names that they don't use when posting here, obviously wanting to avoid identification by I wonder who?!

As I have always said, good luck to them, surely they can be happy there posting without inhibition and with a smaller audience less likely to interrupt the flow of 'important' threads. I'm not reading much there now, I honestly cannot comprehend much of the music content.

Yes we ARE on average older at R3ok, also more wimmin  I haven't surveyed the age of members to get an idea of spread or average, though Soundwave, aged 112, does kind of twist the data 

Evolution of postings/subjects, gosh I don't know if we can interrogate the history, not on this basic template forum anyway, when you click the month in the monthly data it just tells you number of posts each day which is useless data really except for THIS month of course; we had our lowest postings on Oct 12th 

Actually Sept 8th & 9th were lower maybe the board was down that night

Oh, you mean after being on here for months we tend to waffle more.

Might be the case with me for sure but that's because I'm hearing less R3 and playing less CDs of late, as I now do no long driving journeys and doing more work when I'm at home and I can't listen to music when I'm actually working and say trying to prepare a technical/training module. Hardly ever hear much of Rob Cowan's programme but will be at home tomorrow.
