Hi
I usually visit this Forum to read threads/posts. Sometimes, a thread contains posts which are many years old. Whenever I find such threads/posts, I always look at the total number of posts that a particular person made in all these years. Many times, a member who posted a reply in the thread (few years ago) has very few total number of posts (as shown under his username). So, I wonder where all these FreeBSD users went? Why he/she has so less number of post in all these years? Did he move to some other BSD, Forum or he simply quits BSD?
So, are there any statistics exist? that:
1. How many total number of FreeBSD users are there?
2. How many new users join FreeBSD in a day or week or month?
3. How many of them dropout and move back to their previous OSes?
4. What is the dropout rate of users on this Forum?
And many other users related statistics.
Do these numbers exist? If yes then can you share?
And if the dropout rate is high then it also raises an important question that why such high number of users usually drop FreeBSD? What are their main concerns?
Thanks
