Hello Nick!
I will never understand "stats"... those that collect
them, those that read them, the idea that one can judge
whats a good echo or not based on an arbitrary number of
posts. Especially busy-idiots who post them routinely as
part of some stupid script out of a need to feel
important.
Granted, the stats of some of the echos are highly skewed with
the repetative auto-posts with rules and stuff. However, it is
good to have something to indicate that some life in them
exists and that someone has an eye on them.
Some echoes have lots of messages but are completely devoid of any interesting content while others have only a few posts but can be very interesting.
I suppose it's a lot like tuning into a ham-radio channel and
hope that someone is there to have a chat.
The ELIST provides a healthy list of FTN echos. People simply
need to contribute to the ones that they are interested to see
spring with more life.
