    I need to find a statistic about forums - what I specifically need is to know is

    What percentage of the population have signed up and used a forum before?​


    I will need a reference - so if you find the information, please post the link where you found it. The first one to find a good answer will get $5 paid via paypal.

    Wow, good luck. I've spent the last 30 min. trying to find something. If Google ain't got it, the stat doesn't exist.

    Really?!? You couldn't find ANYTHING?!?

    OK - I really need this stat... and am willing to pay $10 if someone can find it... lol

    Maybe it really isn't there - but I find it hard to believe that no-one has done some kind of study. Maybe I'll have to just do my own research...

    But technically its the amount of users divided by the amount of forums, or some shit like that.

    All of the forums divided by half of the users.

    because they all have a 50% chance, either they have or havent.

    Ooooh - ouch! That could take some time!

    Meet-here... send me your paypal account, it's not the answer I was looking for - in fact it isn't really an answer - but more a potential headache for me... LOL - but I'll give you $5 anyway, I think I can probably play with that idea and use something from it.

    In the meantime... if someone knows how many people have ever used a forum... lol - please let me know!! HAHA!

    Hmm.. That is going to take more time than it's worth - to add them all up, but it's not going to be that accurate though - because there is no telling how many members are members at more than one forum...
