I am not a math person but I was checking out the ratio of views to posts.
In the BOI, there is a huge ratio, many are checking out reputations and posts because what they read there is meaningful in their own choices of who to purchase animals and supplies from. They may not always take a stance and post, they are rather using the information they see to make wise choices in their own purchases.
I saw a rough ratio of about 10:1 views to posts in the forums though. Some more, some less.
I would love to see that ratio decrease, and have more people participating instead of just reading and lurking.
I am going to continue to try to respond to as many forum posts as I feel qualified to answer, because that's where it all starts, one person helping another.
You shy little violets out there, we want to see you post!!
