DJones	Thanks for posting this link. there is also a 90/10 rule for p2p-systems: 10 per cent of the users contribute 90 per cent of the music files.
zooloo	There's been comment here before on the large number of visitors and far fewer posters. There's an article named Participation Inequality here www.useit.com/alertbox/participation_inequality.html The gist of it is: User participation often more or less follows a 90-9-1 rule: * 90% of users are lurkers (i.e., read or observe, but don't contribute). * 9% of users contribute from time to time, but other priorities dominate their time. * 1% of users participate a lot and account for most contributions: it can seem as if they don't have lives because they often post just minutes after whatever event they're commenting on occurs Just thought it gives a bit of perspective. zoo
