The last milestone was back on November 1st, 2011 when it reached 3 million members. Special thanks goes out to the staff, mod team, and especially the members which made it possible! Congrats you guys!   Here are some stats courtesy of Alexa & Worth Of Web as of today to show how far our community has come since it began.

Geoff: Wire generates that from people signing up for gold membership - and much of it would go to hosting costs. The price of hosting a website of this size with 1.3 million visitors a month would be substantial. Robot Seb: That's an estimate value Lori although a good example of revenue vs cost would be something like the SQL licenses on old Wire which cost thousands per year. There's still domain name fees, data center fees, and hardware costs for stuff like servers, etc... Gold membership is only in a few places and a semi-temporary thing as sponsors become available in those areas.  OCD_OCD: Some people don't understand that the cost in both money and physical time is expensive. The difference between gross and net can be massive. The good thing is that the owners of wire set it up, using their time and yes, their money, in the HOPES of generating a profit. A profit is never guaranteed. Wire Gold is a requirement, like Seb said, in areas where the existing costs of service are greater and the potential to break even is low. No one should expect anyone to run a website or other company that they benefit from (such as Wireclub members) for totally altruistic reasons. The owners of Wire should not be expected to bite the financial bullet or devote their time and energies to something that we enjoy and do it for free. We could get barraged by ads and spam, but we don't, do we? I'd just like to say thanks. I hope you guys make a mint.   Corwin:  These numbers don't make sense to me --Wire top 10 nation demographics: - USA 28.4% 28,217 - Norway 24.6% 918 - India 13.3% 26,055 - Canada 5.9% 10,835 - Brazil 5.0% 20,278 - Ukraine 1.9% 16,695 - Egypt 1.6% 14,322 - UK 1.6% 97,498 - Indonesia 0.7% 71,622 What does the number to the right of the percentage mean?  Quantum Zero31: When I first came here there were 50,000 wire members, and they were all on Rods friends list. Thats quite a while ago now! :\ HandyAndyMan: I appreciate the openess of the stats and really it makes me comfortable to know that wireclub at the end of the day is an honest friendly and enjoyable almost non profit fun place for our minds and hearts to enjoy..Thanks to all..Wire wire wire oi oi oi HandyAndyMan: Btw have you got the Stats on how many aussies come here by percentage? We seem to be a few  @Wireclub  calybonos: The aussie numbers are impressive. Unless you exclude the drunken ones. Then, it's about a half dozen or so. Corwin: I'm just curious though... there is one statistic I would like to see, which I'm sure could be gleaned from the existing data quite easily. --- Out of these 5 million, it's obvious that many of these accounts are "inactive"... or consist of people who, for instance, have created an account, gotten bored after a few hours, then never returned... but never bothered to delete their accounts. What I'd be interested in knowing, is what is the total number of members with verified accounts that have logged in at least once over the last 12 months?   No_User_Name: On other sites ive passed by ive noticed they have a joining date and last activity date underneath their avatar. I think a feature like that here would give a better indication of how many users there are and not just members. I for one have checked out a site, some even require you to create an account before you can visit, looked around, not liked what i saw and left. Leaving that account sitting dead, some place you can even delete accounts. SITS has a great screen shot of chat room activity from 4 years ago. biff deboffe's Picture I dont do chat rooms but at any given time you go to the chat room section you will never see this many chatters ......forums are pretty well dead ......so where are all these members??? | Off Topic Chat Room Similar Conversations |
