it's odd because questions go unanswered for weeks. there is not that much traffic here like there used to be.

Definitely not as much traffic and I'd be surprised if even 1/3 of the 10k have posted in the last year.

The 90-9-1 rule simply states that:
- 90% of all users are lurkers. They read, search, navigate, and observe, but don't contribute
- 9% of all users contribute occasionally
- 1% of all users participate a lot and account for most of the content in the community
This is the 90-9-1 rule of internet community participation (blogs, forums, etc) Based on this there are only about 100 of us who generate the most content here.metsbats86@aol.com

Re: 10,000 members for GUU
You are probably correct with the 90/9/1 rule, though that can be applied to most subjects. I am a new collector with a year in, and fall into the 90 category. I have purchased a few bats from members but mostly read, search, and soak up as much info as possible. I do this with the hope of becoming part of the 9% soon and one day the 1%. Most people would benefit from listening more and talking less. No one should feel bad about sitting back and learning before speaking up, or asking questions that may seem silly to veterans. To the 9 and 1, thank you for being willing to share your knowledge and experience. You are what will sustain the life of this hobby for us newbies so that the cycle continues.
Regardless of the level of activity, 10k members is an accomplishment.
