Although what you say regarding the member numbers may be true, what Im asking is where are the U.S and Europe members in the early hours Oz time? Surely 'someone' should be here online from overseas during their daylight hours as logged in members or otherwise.
What I see is maybe 1 or 2 logged in users at that early Oz time and a few 'Guests' on and thats it.

I have been on several other large astro forums with large memberships and they are always showing a relatively large number of users and guests logged in, but that dosnt seem to be the case here.

So I guess Im asking if only 1% or thereabouts of your 7400 members are actually active based on your reply?

Thanks for the clarification.

Maybe the Oz members that ara up at that time are actually observing and not at the computer?
