I am starting to think I should be more careful about some stats...for example when I make the post distribution (in %) without the OTF, I should exclude the "Annual party" thing in the LOTR forum (which really looks like a pointless thread to me - no offence - and that really fools the stats, just like the OTF) and threads like that...

I really don't see the point of having a social thread in other forums beside the OTF. Fans socialise without going off topic in their forums. There is always the OTF if they want to discuss other topics.
Trying to have any type of decent convo in the OTF in crazy....That's just a madhouse. Besides there are some of us who don't hang out in the OTF 24-7.
1) New members every month (past 18 months to give a general idea of the trends). The figures shows a regular rise since February, apart from July which was excellent (4400 new members, when the highest ever was 5000). I assume some big hits have been released (but I can't tell : we're always late here). It's a good pace IMHO

2) Total "Membercount". Same Period. Basically it shows exactly the same, ie that the Forums are growing on a regular rythm, except 2 big "leaps" : November, 2003 and July 2004. This relative stability has nonetheless nothing to do with the situation 18 months ago (2000-2500 new members against 80 !)
