    Hey Coder!

    That's an interesting list; how did you get it?

    Do you also have some demographics on which groups are  most frequented? I'm very much wondering how people navigate this site at all; there are tons of 'groups' most of them very inactive, or only there for one industry partner (anyone knows why 'Circuit Protection' is in the list of Technologies on top of this site?).

    In the RoadTest challenges the number of views for posts has been quite low, and I've seen little response from 'the community'. I guess most people come here, view a topic and leave (since level 2 and up is 2.72% of all members)?

    How do other Top Members use this site (are you F5-ing all day on the front page? Actively looking for content? Email alerts?)?

    (since level 2 and up is 2.72% of all members)?

    it's less than that.  Level 2 and up is 2,905 (1.4%).

    I think you were reading 2,905 as level 2 only, when it is level 2 and up.

    how did you get it?

    If you go to http://www.element14.com/community/people

    select "sort by status"

    the url will include "&start=0&"

    If you change the 0 to 2904, you should see the boundary

    between level 1 and level 2.

     

    Do you also have some demographics on which groups are  most frequented?

    not really,  At

    http://www.element14.com/community/groups?ICID=technologies_menubar

    the default is to sort by "recent activity", so the most active ones generally come first.

     

    are you F5-ing all day on the front page?

    keeping an eye on the "my view" page, "community activity" panel.

    I think the most interesting statistic is the above Level 10 (5001 points).

     

    That is getting to be very small numbers.

    Probably most are in the Top Members group.

     

     

    Cheers

    Very interesting figures

    It gets a lot smaller if you exclude e14 employees and suppliers,

    and only count "normal" members.  Well, I used quotes because everyone

    has a different definition of "normal".  Almost by definition, the top 0.02% of

    any group wouldn't be considered "normal".  There are 97 "Top Members", so if

    you are in the "10 and up" group, but not a "Top Member", then maybe you

    ought to complain.

    Thanks for the post Coder27.  Very interesting stats.  It would be interesting to see why so many are at level one.  Is it because they are afraid to ask a question or answer one.  If thats the case maybe we need to do something about it.  Now what that is im not sure.

    I would hate to be considered "normal" image

     

    Except in the MIT sense of the word.  I'm told that if you wander around the MIT campus on a nice day, you will sometimes see three MIT students in an odd formation.  One is standing, and two are lying on the ground at right angles.  They all have their feet touching.  They are waiting for someone to ask them what they're doing, so they can reply:

    "What's the matter?  Haven't you seen three normal people?"

    If you don't get the joke, time to review your 3-D vector math(s).

    so if you are in the "10 and up" group, but not a "Top Member", then maybe you ought to complain.

    Yes and no, there are some other criteria.

    You can do massive blogging, and get high points or help answer questions and get above 10 as well.

    I've never been considered 'normal' ....it's usually other unrepeatable words that include adjectives as well...
