Is why we will never have ratings or contests.... breeds hurt feelings and it's so much nicer to just all see the beauty in everyone and support each other in our sexual endeavors and exploits (or lack there of).

Hey! You said you weren't gonna tell! :(

Perhaps, rather than the "you must post" bit, can a counter flag a non-poster after 6 months, send a standard PM asking if they still want to be here, to click on the attached button. No click, no member?

Sounds a bit hard, but hey??

kathy1 is right that a WHOLE bunch of people are missing out on a lot of fun.

Perhaps a combination of cowgirltease and Oldfart ideas could work by bringing up a flag for notice that suspend the pic viewing privilege if not responded to. It is silly to carry 78% of the people signing up, on the rolls indefinitely. We cannot tell how many are regular lurkers and which are just lost souls, only by postings though. Hopefully, the man behind the curtain, has the means to see how many revisit even if it is only his “secret number”. I don’t know what burden a majority of empty fields put on the database, except for the time factor.

I agree with Lilith that every post ever made is part of Pixies and could well give you permanent membership without causing a problem, as far as the numbers I have been able to squeeze out. We all have seen a, self-proclaimed lurker come out of the shadows when the right thing struck their fancy. I also understand Lils’ thoughts that a “forced” posting is not likely to generate earnest feelings and ideas. There also always is the whole image game of showing high membership numbers for a variety of reasons. That part I’ll leave to the “fluff-pumpers”. :rolleyes: I do better just dealing with the facts.

Our query capabilities are limited and have a problem with the difference between x = <n, x = n< and x = >n, x = n>, especially while dealing with zero, but here are some siftings. I did get some slightly different numbers than Lil, but here’s the general state of affairs.
“Never have so few provided so much enjoyment and pleasure for so many.” ;)

As of this posting-
Using the search capabilities under membership, I find 17,593 members currently listed.
The earliest of any post date shown is 2001 April 29.
The ones that have signed up as members and never posted are 13,784. That’s 78.3%.
That should leave 3,809 members that have at least once. (but doesn’t according to our database, but it only shifts the totals a couple percentage points)
There is a total of 1,586 member that posted over 10 times.
We have a total of 478 senior members (over 100 posts)

The number of members that have made at least 1 post in the last year is 1,677.
of the current membership,
Of this last years active members, 920 have posted more than 10 times.
There are 66 members that have posted over 100 times in the last year.

We have 853 members that joined before this last year and still posted at least once.

There are many ways to request and interrupt data, many that we do NOT have available, to support most reasonable statements, but there is no question in my mind that the ratio of people enjoying our home and the ones we get to see and talk with is a pretty wide spread.

The bottom line for me is I’m damned glad to be here and even happier the rest of this group is here. ……………………………. Well, …. most of them. ;)



PS :mad:
I tried to underline and bold print the highlights, but we are SO god damn limited in the number of images we can have that you will have to hunt if you want any of the information.

*stomps away with his blunt pencil*

Like I said about 50 posters. So I win the bear. :p

66 posters. This is root 66.

Well, if we don't always have quanitity ...

we do have QUALITY.

You all are the BEST!!! Thanks for being Posting Pixies!! ;)

So very, very, Interesting.........................

Not unlike the previous posters to this thread i have to wonder are "lurkers" and nonposters just here for "A Quickie?" And that thought leads to the next and the next.
Here's a thought, without them we exibitionists would have no one watching us and it would certainly take the steam out of the hot, no sense of being "caught" =no turn on

Also as it's been pointed out there ARE those that unexpectedly post at most illogical moments .
I too came upon pixies "by accident" just out surfing one day all hot an horny looking for some free stories to fuel my libido further....I can only say that i love this place right out the gate and beyond the people are kind AND horny and above all courteous. It's a shining example of good
(un)clean fun! I really liked the following quote so i borrowed it ty
thank you thank you thank you and consider yourselves one and all HUGGLED!!!!!! :grope:

oops here's that quote......
"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."

Gentlefolk,

I'm with dicksbro on this one. No site is perfect, but this one does seem to have a very good mix of posters, both of text and pictures. And yes boilergirl1, this is a very courteous group when compared to similar sites. I consider that to be one of it's more attractive features.
