Measures of Success

I'd still like the manangement to answer individually as Marco did, because my question still stands. And as I can be a brutal sod, I'd not want them to have the opportunity to hide behind an anonymous poll(!)

ooohhhh you are awful, but I like you!

Hi Chris,

I'd still like the manangement to answer individually as Marco did, because my question still stands. And as I can be a brutal sod, I'd not want them to have the opportunity to hide behind an anonymous poll(!)

Quite right, matey, so my fellow admin and mods, let's be 'avin ya!

Marco.

At least I didn't get it wrong again, Dad! Or get recruited...

For the 'something not in this list' I would cite the continued focus on the love of music coupled with equipment fanology and I think this is largely to do with the lightness of touch of the moderation. I stick to visiting AoS daily because it's fun, it fulfils my need to learn something every day and it allows me to give back something in the form of knowledge to others. Overall, the focus is spot-on.

I'll be on to it shortly.

Looking at it from a 'macro' level - rather than what an individual member might consider to be sucess as far as the forum is concerned, my top picks were, in priority order first to last...:

• A friendly environment
• Quality of posts
• Low number of management interventions
• Number of members
• Number of posts

If I were responding as 'a member', then I think that increase in personal knowledge would have sneaked into the Top 5. I was also torn in terms of number of posts versus ratio of number of members to the number of posts - for obvious reasons as your parenthesis suggests, but in the end I figured the ratio of active posters on here is such that it's not tending towards being exclusive - in fact we embrace and encourage new posters to get stuck in, and they do...

So that's me!

Number of members

Number of posts

Ratio of number of members to the number of posts

Quality of posts (See variety of content)

Number of returning visitors (for this I would have included members too(of course we want visitors, but we want them to join and contribute and not just lurk. In my ideal version of AoS, all members would be regular visitors and contributors. Sadly many join, post a bit and vanish(don't always know why), some come and suck us dry of info, contribute nothing (Must say I am very sad about that....sometime lots of trouble too) and then vanish. I guess I wish all who join would stick around, and enjoy AoS. Of course that's not the real or AoS world )

Search engine results

Advertising revenue

Variety of content (I want AoS content to be broad and have real depth, and for the most part it does.)

Amount of advice given by you personally

Increase in your personal knowledge (Its all about learning on the journey of audio life imho)

Conversion to 'the cause'

Low number of management interventions

Something not on this list (please post your thoughts)

A friendly environment (Self explanatory.)



That's my votes.

Neil, your votes were exactly the same as mine!

It's that special AoS form of Jungian synchronicity at work again.
