Xeda true, actually activity lately has been on par with some months in Early 2010 or very close. Of course Christmas holidays might slow things down but it shouldn't be enough to kill the momentum. Also yeah it's always nice to see new blood in the TI community, as it helps in long term (otherwise when all the older members starts leaving the result is not fun ). It's always good to see some great projects like Portal come out too, since Omni gets attention community-wide (or close) and outside the community. It is very rare we see a calculator game from after 2002 get more attention than the old time classics like Mario and Phoenix.

Could you explain what you imply by your post SpiroH? I hardly see any recent complaining above, let alone repeating stuff again and again, so I am not sure why you are reprimanding me or anyone else here.

If you mean that activity downfall aren't that bad, well that is exactly the same attitude that some United-TI or TI-BASIC Developer staff (they were identical between both sites for the most part) had from 2008 to 2012: Whenever someone mentionned that the site activity was getting low, those staff said that things weren't even that bad and accused people of making a huge deal about it. Well, here are United-TI posting stats since 2004:

2004: ~28000
2005: 20033
2006: 28340
2007: 23985
2008: 12785
2009: 8876
2010: 3391
2011: 1370
2012: 274 (site shutted down on April 17th 2012)

TI-BD only survived because of how active Xeda112358 was, there, since late 2010. Not that the UTI staff were bad, but the dwindling activity problem was not really taken care of.

Typically, some active members will eventually slow down posting without noticing and then that issue is brought up and they realize they barely were active at all lately. This gives them the incentive to get active again if they want. Same for staff I guess, assuming they care (which is Omni case). Besides, Omni went from averaging at 400 posts a month for almost a year straight to less than 100 in a very short span of time. With this topic, people seemed to have realized and kinda started contributing again. The higher activity probably encouraged newer people to join as well. Of course now things got better due to Portal, the 84PCSE and Linux on the Nspire, but hadn't members (especially staff) cared about the site, would this have happened regardless? That said, it is kinda weird lately how we discussed the recent activity boom in this thread without renaming it.

Weird.
Less than 4% of members have more than 500 posts.
Only around 12% of members have 50 posts.
Only 40% of members have ever posted anything

I'll take your word for it.

I'm just so glad the the community activity is rising

what is lowercase activity? activity without hitting the shift key?
