With 3 million hits this month on the OCF web site, and only a few regular posters here, I know that a lot of people are accessing the information in the core of the site, and visiting the message board without participating. Many just come for the data and information in the core of the web site. Obviously those that visit the message board and post are only a small fraction of all those who come to the OCF site, though even in that group we have more that lurk (to use a cyber term) and read than who participate. Some of this is possibly related to language issues, some is that the existing discussions actually answer the same questions for the readers. This month alone we had visitors from 92 different countries. That in itself I find amazing. 80% of all the hits on the OCF site come from within the US, but we get them from all around the world, and even countries that I had to look up to figure out where they were!!
