How long do Greek Chatters stay active?

[James]

I was just curious how well we retain Greek Chatters.

Do we lose people after 3 months, 6 months, a year?

Do people graduate and not come back?

Anyway, post your start dates, especially the older ones. I know they are on the sides. ;)

And tell us how often you come on. Dribs and drabs, summers off etc. When you are going to quit . . .

Its strange to see old names that posted all the time fade away as new ones pop up.

I'll keep goin til I'm banned....which isn't too far away.

I've been here as a registered member for one year and two months since Sept. 2001. I was away for a few weeks when I went on vacation and when I was particularly busy.

[Steeltrap]

I've been registered for nearly 19 months. I lurked for three months after becoming an AKA, because I wanted to get a feel of the room.

For the most part, I've never left.

This December I'll mark my 2 year GC Anniversary.

I tend to post more when I'm at work, and during the school year I don't work as much as I do during the summer and other school breaks.

I still post here and there, but most of my GC time is limited to just browsing.

21 months and counting...

[Lisa Fishman]

I have been on GC 2 years and 3 months. Though, I only have a just over 400 posts.

[Kevin]

Just since this March. I guess that makes it 8 months for me.

[lifesaver]

2 Years 6 months. I too lurked for about 2 months. I was really turned off by my experience with GreekSource.


I post at work, but never on the weekends.

I'll stay till it goes away or I get too busy.

My 1 year GC bday is coming up on the 27th of November! I posted every once in a while, and then for a long time I didn't check GC at all. Then in the past couple months I began posting more :)

I think it just depends on how busy my life gets at different points in time

[LeslieAGD]

I registered on April 29th of 2001. I often check GC in the mornings and at night, when possible.

[Betarulz!]

I've been here since August 6th 2001...total of 15 months and counting...

[Hootie]

My two year anniversary was November 16th! I come on here pretty much everyday (I have to since I'm a Moderator). I don't get to use a computer at work so I have to post in the morning or evening hours when I'm around the house.
I don't know when I'll stop coming here. It's so hard because even if I get older there are still people on here that I enjoy reading and knowing about~and there's always a new face to befriend as well.

Registered July 2001.

[33girl]

I registered in Sept 2000, but I posted before that. So that's, like, many months.

[KappaStargirl]

I've been posting here since Sept. of 2001, though I've been on a little break lately. Life is what happens when you're making other plans. Recently I've been checking the boards about every other day.

As for retention: We have almost 25,000 registered members (24,798 as of 12:45 am EST, November 20, 2002). As for the number who have been around, say, longer than three months...well...I'm too lazy to go looking. If it's anything like the other active boards I post on, I'd say retention after three months is maybe 10 percent? What do I know? I'm a musician; I can only count to four.

I think we lose people for a lot of reasons: Life, graduation, simple loss of interest. But I will say that this has been a great year and I love this site as much as I ever did.

[Ginger]

I've been around for a few years under various screen names. I kept forgetting what they were during the periods where I wouldn't check, so I decided to make it simple and make it my real name :)

[AOX81]

I have been a regular member since January 11, 2001 and I have 2522 posts racked up. I used to browse the site freqently before I actually registered. I became a registered user after I graduated from college. I am on GC all the time and I'm never going to quit! Hi, my name is Amy, and I'm a GC addict. :)

I'll be celebrating my 2 year GC anniversary next May. I love it! Sometimes I lurk, sometimes I post, but I'm always around! :)

[bcdphie]

I've been here for over 3 years (September 1999). I changed my screen name recently, so that's why it looks like I've only been around for a few months.

Since May 28, 2001...

[Sisterplum]

March of 2001 (I think...I'll have to look at this post to be sure!:D) for me.

I used to come here on a daily basis...but I probably come 2-3 times a week now instead...I find there's too much drama here now. Mostly I read posts and will only post here and there now.
