I come here from time to time, mostly to read the month top questions and answers. Even if I haven't been very active, I've been around for quite some time (my first recorded interaction with this site dates back to 2013.
I have the feeling that the activity has been decreasing. I don't have access to mod tools, but I tortured the search tool and got these hints:
There are 202 Q or A with a score above 50.
- Only 6 of them were created between 2017-01-01 - 2019-12-31.
- 19 were created between 2014-01-01 - 2016-12-31
- 129 were created between 2011-01-01 - 2013-12-31
There are 120,095 questions in total. From which:
- 46318 were created between 2017-01-01 - 2019-12-31
- 46741 were created between 2014-01-01 - 2016-12-31
- 24184 were created between 2011-01-01 - 2013-12-31
There isare 26415 questions without answer in total (for instance with this search)questions without an answer. From which:
- 14206 were created between 2017-01-01 - 2019-12-31created between 2017-01-01 - 2019-12-31
- 8864 were created between 2014-01-01 - 2016-12-31created between 2014-01-01 - 2016-12-31
- 2562 were created between 2011-01-01 - 2013-12-31created between 2011-01-01 - 2013-12-31
Which means, the percentage of questions without answer is around:
- 30% between 2017-01-01 - 2019-12-31
- 19% between 2014-01-01 - 2016-12-31
- 11% between 2011-01-01 - 2013-12-31
I'm not willing to compute more stats, but these numbers are not looking really good to me. However, I see from this page, that there is about 57000 visit per day. And that the site is ranked in the top third of all sites.
So what is happening? all these visitors not engaging? Not answering? Not voting? Am I the only one to have this kind of feeling?
