Users is number of new accounts. Active users is logged in people who visited. So about 73 people per day.What’s the difference here between “users” and “active users”?

No, it is not related to the vBulletin to Discourse switch. Some users were put off by the transition, but the decline has been ongoing well before that as others have indicated.Mary, do you think that is since they changed the style of the forums?
There are a lot of abandoned and junk accounts though. Several of us dug around and found accounts from 2004! The active community is much much smaller. The Patron group is only 65 members!There are 226194 users of CAF.
Their board of directors does not receive payment.However, the fact that there is an executive board, it would be good for transparencies sake to know how much they are being paid.
Most nonprofits in the US do not pay boards of directors, although they typically reimburse or pay for travel expenses for board meetings and such.I understand it’s a non-profit, but sometimes non profits can pay board members huge salaries, which are corporate-model based and not in line with Catholic values.
It’s their apostolate. They can do whatever they want. If they feel this is an expense they don’t want to carry and a distraction from their main undertakings, that is their decision.I completely agree with you if operations costs are the real and only issue.
I forgot to mention that this is not 73 unique users per day. Since I based it off the monthly active users count divided by 30, users are being counted in the numerator each day they log into CAF in a month. So this number is probably very inflated.So about 73 people per day.
It is a grieving process. Same reason I’m still here on a dying forum trying to help people understand.I don’t get this weird umbrage people are taking with the CAF decision. It’s their executive team and board’s decision.
Well, I hope they reverse the stance on that. There is a lot of useful information on the forums that one can find, and I would hate for it all to go away.Deleting them entirely; no archives will be kept.
(Although of course with the Internet Way Back Machine snapshots of archives can be reviewed.)
There is indeed. The forum has been a great source of information, perspectives, advice, and recommendations.There is some useful information on the forums I have found that it would be a shame to lose.
Well, I at least sent them a message asking if they could at least keep an archive of the forums available somehow. Not sure if it’ll do any good, but I figure if enough people ask they might at least reconsider that part of it.JSRG:
