Thanks. I presume that's out of totals of about 55280 and 17550 respectively - so about 1.6% overall and about 0.7% "during my watch". In context, I reckon that probably counts as 'extremely rare'. I must say that even 120 during my period here rather surprises me - that's one every couple of weeks on average, and I didn't think it was anything like that common.There are 909 with no reply, 120 on your watch. Some will be locked, but most are still open and devoid of answers.I've no idea how long it's been the case, but during the 5 or so years I've been contributing to this forum, it has been extremely rare, probably almost unknown, for a thread to get no replies at all.
Those figures (lower % since I started contributing) might be said to kill another of stillp's theories but, to be fair, I imagine that 'no reply' was inevitably more common in the early days, simply because of a reduced number of members available to do any replying. To test that idea, are you able to tell us how many 'no reply' threads there were in the first 'few thousand' (your choice!)??
Edit: I've just been wondering - under what circumstances would an OP with no replies get locked? If it were an 'unacceptable' OP, wouldn't it just be removed?
Kind Regards, John
