That might be true for people that stumble in via a Google search. But I am talking about the people that come in, sign up an account (or have one already) and then come back and read what is posted but never contribute themselves. That's why I referred to them as 'paying punters', they are through the door and consuming content. There is a surpassingly high number of these users. The regular posters are making up a fraction of the unique users and page views.
 
 
That's even worse! I suppose some might be listening to the jukebox from the car park then?😁

Or to continue the pub analogy, a small handful of the punters that arrive actually come into the pub, far more take a quick look in through the windows, decide (correctly) that it isn't for them, and head off to find somewhere nice to go for a drink?

Well, it can look that way. But from looking at the stats I have another analogy. There are closer to a 100 unique posters on a typical day, occasionally more, some quiet days a a bit less. But there are a lot more quiet users who have accounts and log in to read what is being posted but for various reasons won't post themselves. They far outweigh the regular posters.

So I would say we are more like zoo. Us posters are the animals scratching their bollocks as a steady stream of paying punters gawp at us and point then leave to go back home to their civilised ordered lives.

I think all of these sites, fan channels, podcasts etc feed off what is happening with West Ham, which is zilch at the moment. 

Kumb, in the brown stuff are also deadsville right now. Your man on hammers chat has had a breakdown as there's nothing for him to talk about. 

The same 5/6 people arguing among themselves all the time doesn't help either

HIA.

A lot of people focus on podcasts as well which can take upna big chunk of time. I get through at least 4 a day at work. Throw in finding time to read a book,listen to music,socialise or watch tv/film and you can see why forum traffic slows down.

Much better than the metropolitan wanky bar type places where you have to queue to pay £8 a pint (for some shit like Brewdog) and then have to pay to wash your hands after you've taken a piss.
Can't imagine you washing your hands after taking a piss let alone having to pay for it
