Hi all,
My first poll had an option missing … so I’ve abandoned it and started afresh. Apologies to those that had already voted, but this way give you the opportunity to reconsider against all 3 options.
What are we listening to [2020]
You may have noticed that this year’s rolling topic is closed and now we have a second 2020 topic. This was not by choice but because it reached 10K posts and the forum software automatically closed it to avoid performance issues.
As we popped the limit this year, and now have two topics for 2020 this prompted a discussion on how best to manage going forwards … hence this post to gauge your opinion on how frequently each topic should run for …
Ten thousand posts in nine and half is good going and the daily posting rate is growing 
As the rate of posting is increasing as Roon’s user base grows, it’s been suggested that it may make it easier to browse and might be less intimidating for new users who might want to join if the topic where periodically rolled over to a new one. If fact we started doing this, when the original single topic was split into annual versions you see today.
Please note that the closed topics would still be visible / searchable, there is no suggestion of archiving these off the forum.
Here are per year stats …
- 2020 - 10000 + 246 (at time of posting)
- 2019 - 7742
- 2018 - 8164
- 2017 - 5241
- 2016 - 0817
COVID-19 / lockdown may factor in part for 2020 jump.
At present posting rates a period rollover would result in each topic growing to around …
- Monthly — 1100 posts.
- Quarterly – 3300 posts.
Here’s your chance to express your opinion, vote now or forever hold your peace 
- Monthly
- Quarterly
- Annually (as today, and only rollover if necessary)
