Guest guest Posted December 23, 2003 Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 Hey, I read your response. I don't think there would be any benefit from making an additional survey. Reason: too little survey subjets. Don't worry if too many people leave, its part of the website's natural " carrying capacity " . Your carrying capacity is your average number of members. The number stays constant due to the carrying capacity effect. The " carrying capacity effect " works in natural environments. But I also apply it to websites where members are signed up. Here is how it works: -every member is an " individual " . -the total number of members is the " population " When the website undergoes emmigration, usually after the exam, the website de-crowds. This attracts new members due to a more personalized setting. After too many new members arrive, the website undergoes another cycle of emmigration. This is true for most member websites. In this websites' case, there are also other factors, such as the test. Its the natural process that you learn about in biology class. But it also has applications in economics. In economics the most related effect is " economies of scales " , where by you can increase profit by increasing the number of goods you produce but after a certain point, you begin to lose if you continue to increase the number of goods produced. Thanks Jeanetta for your time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
