If you go to the main forum page and scroll down, you'll find this ...

this was a few days ago, I see they are even lower than that now)
----------------------------------------
We're down to 8.9% active users.
Rowan has been commenting to me, and posting somewhere on BF, about the steady decline of active users on this forum. During the Northern Hemisphere "season" it was up around 13% (the lowest "seasonal" percent it has been in a few years). Pre-forum-change he made some comment about it being down to 11% ... and now it's down below 9%. I don't think it's been that low since the very early days of the forum.
2% might not seem very much but 2% of 170,558 is 3411 people. A 4% drop from the "season" is 6822 people. So during the "season" the Active Membership was up around 22123 people (which as I mentioned before was lower than most previous "seasons") ... we've dropped approx. 1/3 of those in the last couple months, half of that because of the end of the "season" and half of that because of the forum change.
As for the subject of this thread ... I haven't been getting that many Database Errors, but I get a ton of Internet Explorer Cannot Find Webpage type errors in this site.
