admin (Simon W) Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Once again, we have another new thing. It's a part of a bigger software update but a feature which although I can think of no good reason for at the moment, I quite like it! It's designed to better highlight the most active members and content based on reputation and other metrics like, how many people have read the persons content, how long for, how many shared a link to it and so on. (I don't fully understand it yet but it's quite clever) https://www.paramotorclub.org/leaderboard/ SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilzy Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Ah it's all explained lol I noticed it yesterday and I scored 2 points for a reply it should be fun to watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandman Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 So if my understanding is correct of this new rating system and I do not for one moment imply that I do, then a person who is very active in posting on matters various and using many words where one may suffice using the common language that I hasten to add is not mine, to explain a point or to ask a question in depth far beyond that which is needed or indeed to reply to a post in great detail as they understand the question at that point in time, notwithstanding that a previous post may have answered it. I may well be wrong in my understanding of the matter then one assumes correctly or incorrectly that points are awarded for the length of the post and the bravery of the others that are prepared to wade through the text to grasp the direction of the comments and indeed points to the person that can use more than one finger at a time on a keyboard, however the other as yet unknown variables are as yet to be disclosed.I shall wait with baited breath to see the outcome. so does this get points Simon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hodders Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Sandman, I think that it is the number of posts that matters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodders Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 But then again, I'm not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodders Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 However, on reflection, I think that it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin (Simon W) Posted December 11, 2016 Author Share Posted December 11, 2016 It's number of posts, number of likes, number of post views, and time online... SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi k Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 i noticed this the other day but didn't click the link in Si's original post , but have now just done so have more understanding of this new rating. I think its a good idea as many days i visit and think its been rather quiet in the forum, and after looking to see who is or has been online and then thinking that not much has happened. But do think Sandmans reply of the understanding was very funny as it sounds like my kind of reply and sarcasm , and Hodders the cheeky monkey should be on the minus point scheme for misinterpreting (trying to bending) the post count . That said now off to read the latest posts hoping its more than 2 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodders Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Ever since the paramotorforums closed I would have expected the traffic here to be busier. Maybe the forum traffic is all going into the facebook groups? The nice thing about forums is that the information remains easily searchable unlike facebook groups. One of the reasons I'm so glad Simon took teh trouble to import the old forums into this new site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin (Simon W) Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 The site traffic went through a phases of declining for about a year. After the new site it's growing nicely now, with 5-10 new members daily!!! I actually like the idea of keeping the chit chat and bitching on Facebook so that we can remain a useful source of information for people SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
