On the forums of the website of the Young British Esperantists (JEB) you can see the statistics of how many times a particular thread has been viewed.

Even for quite short threads of less than say 10 posts, the number of views can be suprisingly high - over or close to a 1000, and a number reaching several thousand.

I sometimes wonder what the implication is for the number of people in the UK who have an interest in Esperanto.

To give you some kind of perspective, the attendance at last year's Britsh Esperanto Congress (for Esperantists of all ages) was less than 100 - more like 80, if I remember correctly.

Usually each time someone loads the threads it is logged as a separate view. So if I am following a thread and I check back on it 10 times, that adds ten "views" to the thread, even though it is all coming from one person.

two thoughts popped into my mind.
count is high becuase same people keep coming back to check if there was a response.
Another thought, people read them but do not post for what ever reason, in my case I don't want to register just to voice my opinion. Once registered, that barrier comes down (for me)

RE The statistics being misleading:

Eble la ĉefo de la nombrilo povas enmeti en lia/ŝia mesaĝo la almeto(?) "Uzas tiun ĉi statistiko nur kun kriza/kreema pensado" lango.gif

Maybe the boss of the survey can put in their message "use these statistics only with critical thinking" okulumo.gif

I add the EO simply because this got me wondering what the terms should be, after seeing that there is no obvious Vikipedio page for "Critical Thinking" with which to steal a translation, and that there is a conflict between the western "Critical thinking~Pensamiento crítico (et al.)" and the Russian "Креативная педагогика" (Kreativnaya Pedagogika (Creative Pedagogy)".
