Just curious, does this forum have any ability to capture summary user statistics?

It might be interesting to learn the user totals for things like:
- number of users by country
- number of users by gender
- number of users by age bracket

I was just thinking "I wonder how many of these OF users are in other countries?".

In order to do this, some data fields may need to be added to the user profile to calculate these statistics.
Maybe give an option for "I'd rather not say" for every profile question and report that total along with the other data.

For age, maybe just entering the decade of one's birth would be good enough for the age bracket calculation.

Do you think this would be worth doing?

 

We've got a Google map somewhere that shows where we are.

Can't find it though.

Anyone? Anyone?

 

Hmmm, the age and gender info would not interest me, and I would prefer that anything like that would be fully optional. I'm not sure what the point of the data would be; if you hang around here for a while while I think you would already have developed a good sense anyway.

 

I agree, some people would not want to supply the data.
That is why I offered the "I'd rather not say" option to every profile question.

Is this it? Might be defunct though

We had a age thread also.

@dsio mentioned not that long ago majority are late 20s to 30s age group. 70000 members

That's it.

Still works fine for me.

 

You’re right, works for me too (I had to force it to open in browser rather than the Google maps App on my iPad)

 

How do you get the gender and age stats? Is it self-reporting only?

 

They have a built in wrist age algorithm

@Barking mad had the wrist age thread the other week

Holy hell, 99% male!!! No wonder I’m always right here.
I though maybe 70-80%.
So, three women joined and 2 left?
Julia, don’t leave us!!!

99% male.
Every time I took my wife out to dinner wearing an unpolished GMT she ain’t impress. To her, it’s just old and beat up!!
Damn. So that’s just a guy thing?

 

Maybe join a stiletto/handbag forum to be in a minority group.
