Title: Our membership facts and statistics.... Who are we here?
Post by: BULLITT65 on February 16, 2013, 04:02:32 AM
Kurt, Ed or anyone amoung "the inner circle" , is there a rough breakdown of our 4132 members by year and model of car? like how many members have a 67, of those that have a 1967 how many are SS models, RS or a Z or plain jane, and so on and so forth for the other years. It would be interesting to know which year is strongly represented by membership and if the other years are close by, or we need to reach out to another years owners because there is such a discrepancy. I look forward to the answer on this.....

I think that would be difficult unless each member identifies what they have if any. I joined before I had a 69 because I wanted to learn before making a purchase. So there may be members that do not currenty own.

thats fine we can have a category for them. I think if we started keeping statistics of our members it may paint a picture of our site. I think it would be interesting to know. Maybe going forward when a new member applies they could input this info.

What if you have more than one?  there are people who own more than one camaro with differing a year of manufacture.  There are a lot of members on both here and team camaro so there could be a similar percentage as the poll there: http://www.camaros.net/forums/showthread.php?t=67652

I don't know how to start a poll on here these days. I figure it would be pretty simple start with 1967 camaro poll - "what model do you have?" type of a question, and then go year by year. Going forward any new members would identify what cars they have. Or if you are current member and bought another you could update your profile. Maybe once or twice a year we update our stats. Any ideas?

Some might not want to be part of a database on what cars that they own.I dont think that this site is ment for that but it is a source for information on how the first gen camaros were built and what options they were offered with and how different things were done at the factory.But that is just my thought.

Why not a blind poll?  I'm with Ron C. on this one.

sure a blind poll would be a great start. I just thought it would be neat to know the make up of our members rides, most of which you can tell from their avatar already. How would we start this Ron?

A poll would be ok.We must be mindfull of why the administrators started this site and keep it a site for information on cars and not members.I am not against a poll and if anyone can see my signature all can see what cars I do own.CRG is a great information site for restoreing and preserveing 1st gen camaros.I would like to see it continue that way and not get personal.A poll would be ok with me and im sure all here.. ;D

To answer the first question, no one knows - it's not required info when you sign up for the forum.

As to the poll, first decide what you want to know - the year? the model? The more questions, the more complicated the poll.
If they have a 67 and a 69, then if you ask what models in the same poll, you wouldn't know which model went with which year. Only other way to handle it is a poll by year and that would be kinda messy, IMO.
The TC poll is a good start, but could be simplified.

Ok Kurt how about just start with how many camaros do you own? Out of 4132 members I wouldn't think more than 30, are multiple camaro owners so that would be easy to identify them and keep their stats separate, and incorporate them at the end. I am sure there is a way to keep each poll simple adn then compile each years statisics at the end of a few questions. I would like to know how many 67  owners vs. 68 or 69 owners are on here.  and then it would be neat to break down how many 67 rs owners vs rs/ss or ss alone, or plain jane. Again just a breakdown of ownership of the guys on our site, if nobody wants to participate in the poll thats ok, just a neat idea i thought

I think you'd be surprised at how many own 2 or more.
But I think your poll would be easy if you ask what year(s). You could ask a separate question (in the same poll) like driver/show/apart or coupe/convertible.

Try something in the Test Drive area...
