I'd just like to point out a few statistics in support of why these changes in the structure of GreekChat's forums are necessary. Feel free to draw whatever conclusions from these you wish.
As of the last time I checked, GreekChat has:
33,955 members, of whom
75 are moderators, and
1 is an administrator (actually, one of the 75 is also John)
There are also:
39,186 threads containing
546,132 posts
(an average of approximately 14 posts per thread)
Please recognize that the moderators and administrator only constitute 0.224% of the GreekChat population. The remaining 99.776% are the rest of you who enjoy John's very beneficial site (the moderators enjoy it too, and certainly so does John). This means there are approximately 452 of you for every 1 of us.
The workload this places on the moderators (here I'll just use 75 moderators as John is one of them too) works out to an average of approximately 522 threads per moderator (or approximately 7,282 posts per moderator) to keep an eye on. Granted, most of the more frequently enjoyed forums have more than one moderator, but I think you can see my point here.
These new changes not only make it easier for everyone to find the information they want or need, it also makes it easier for the moderators and administrator to maintain for GreekChat an environment conducive to civilized discussions and consistent with the ideals espoused by our many outstanding organizations.
Please keep this all in mind when evaluating your opinion of this site, and especially when planning to post your opinion of it.
Thanks and happy posting!
