What's the ratio of Premium/Standard users?

[AlexGTV]

I ask this because I keep seing Premium users, they must be many indeed. I would guess 1 or 2 out of 10. Does anybody actually know?

 

[Alex.]

There's so many users that have registered and never posted, so I think the ratio is far more diluted than you say.

 

[AlexGTV]

You are right, on the other hand Premium user should be more active than non-Premiums or else why did they become in the first place?

 

[Danny]

There's roughly 500 Premium members, not including any Mods who've bought it, and 177,853 registered users.

This makes it around 0.3% of GTP that's Premo.

Although my mathematics could be way off.

Edit: And 96% of GTPlanet users are called Alex.

 

[AlexGTV]

Oh, pretty low and it's not expensive. I might as well sign up for the hiden stuff, hehe!

 

[zedextreme8177]

I'm guessing it's far less than GT5's Standardremium ratio

I have the 2nd best possible Alex username.

We can see through the interior of the Premium users?

A negligee?

Wait, what?

Wait, what?

This thread is definitely picking up.

I'll be seeing you later, T12

But seriously I have no idea what's being asked.

The ratio of Premium users to regular uses can be calculated using numbers from here and the top left of here...

 

[TB]

534 plus at least myself out of 178,369 or .29%.

Well done, Danny. Your math skills never cease to amaze.

 

[itsbenjibrand]

Out of those 178,369 members, how many are currently active members, regularly contributing by posting? That should, and will affect the ratio. So there would be a higher percentage of premium users, if you understand what I am saying.

 

[AlexGTV]

We should set a threshold of activity and define who is active from there. Like less than 0.5 posts per day.

 

[itsbenjibrand]

Agreed. Out of the 100,000 members, it seems like half made a few posts and never came back. Could we define an Active user as a person who's post per day average is 0.5 or higher and has posted within the last two months? I wonder if there is a filter in the members list section we could use to answer this, so the ratio would be as accurate as possible.

 

[TB]

Members with their last post between today and January 8th, 2011 and more than 30 total posts - 5,679.

And then to see how many of those are Premium members.

The other thing is, Premium members tend to be far more active outside of the GT sections of the forum, which is where the majority of active posters are it seems. Hell, I have all the GT and OLR stuff minimized so I don't even see it when I login.

 

[itsbenjibrand]

Now we just divide the number of Premium users by that number to get our answer. Which is about 9.4 percent. So approximately the ratio is for every 10 standard users, there is 1 premium user. Only counting active users. Definition defined in previous posts.

The thing is, not all the Premium members are active. Some of us have lifetime but will just disappear for extended periods.

 

[itsbenjibrand]

There inlies the problem. For this ratio, to keep it simple, we would probably just assume that every premium member has made at least one post within the last two months. Yes I know its wrong to assume, but its for the sake of simplicity.

I don't know how to make a better criteria, but according to that criteria then, I would be counted as inactive...

 

[AlexGTV]

Well then maybe we can agree on 1 post per week minimum. Or 0.14 posts per day. Below that sounds quite inactive to me.

If you're taking photos of them, you'll have to stand close and zoom in.

 

[NissanSkylineN1]

Also, are they more detailed and better looking?

 

[itsbenjibrand]

I realized I made an error in my ratio. It should read that out of 94 members, 11 are Premium whereas the other 83 are standard members.
