10-16%? That's so depressing.

"of active journals." That's 200,000 journals out of over 10,000,000 accounts. And let's see how things go in the long run. I think it's too soon to see if peole get tired of them or not. It's be great to have a turnover rate. How many switch back? How many new accounts among those? (Seeing as s+ is the default). How many people have been s+ since April?

Have you run into many s+ accounts? Me, just a few. I wonder who they are.

Mm...perhaps...but from the few S+ accounts I've seen, most of them are keen to keep them. Reason? Free icons. So although it's possible that they'd get fedup of it, I'm not optimistic.

I wonder who they are.

I don't know most of those that I've seen personally, but most of those that I've seen are the targetted age group: the 15-17 year olds (if they were honest about their birthdates, I mean). Of course, there are those in the early twenties floating around, but most of those I've seen (really generally on communities) tend to be those in that age group.

If we're comparing to active users, using the over 10 million number is a really inaccurate comparision because no where near all LiveJournal users are active users.

That was my point. Sorry I wasn't very clear. 10 to 16% of active journals but 2% of total journals. I don't really know what an inactive journal is. Not updated in a month? No comment on any other person's journal? Any idea?

Supposedly they have several metrics to figure out activity, which I think include comments and updating and signing in. I'm not too sure what all the metrics are, but I saw a comment from brad a bit back about it.

And I was pointing this out because I have several people on my flist who are inactive users (no entries, no comments). I'm pretty sure this is a small part of all these inactive accounts but who knows? I actually don't who all these 'inactive' users are.
