This time it's on the ROPS and apple trees thread, but I've seen it on several others. Members with 5, 10, 15 or more years since they signed up, but with few if any posts. Often less than 20 posts, sometimes less than 5. It isn't a problem, but it's a curiosity as to what is drawing them back after so many years.

This is by design. We have automated emails going out 2x a week with trending threads from the past few days. This has been getting a lot of members to come back to the site... which is exactly what we were hoping would happen!

WHAT? Are you saying advertising works?

The Romex thread is becoming an example of why this is a bad idea. People are coming in and replying to the opening post without reading the rest of the thread. Their responses are out of place and not informed by posts further on.

We had a guy who owned a Yanmar some 15 years back then moved on. Last month he got another Yanmar and has returned.

Additionally, more people since the C19 ordeal have gone ahead and moved out of the cities to the country. My Bro-In-Law did this and the first thing after moving he asked, Hey, what tractor should I get and where to ask questions for it.

I've seen hints that they are only seeing the original post in an email and responding to that, which should not be happening. They should be required to come into the thread to be able to reply.

So the email blast campaign draws more posters, but lowers the quality of discussion. Hmm.

I also observed an unusual number of posters with low post counts. Some volunteering "help" contrary to others who seem more qualified, or rehashing topics already discussed and resolved.

Quantity is up and quality is down. Congratulations?

Not many has the time to waste to notice join date vs number of reply’s.
