Title: Time for a NEW survey...???
Post by: madjak30 on March 09, 2011, 01:29:34 PM
I was just looking around on the main page and remembered the survey...it is the 10th anniversary of the results fromt he survey and thought it might be interesting to see the changes over the last 10yrs...

The % women has probably gone up considerably...when I took my riding course there were about 14 or 15 people...only three guys (maybe four, not sure of one person...)

Could be that women are just smarter, but I think there are just more getting into the sport...

I also think the website has gone a lot more global...

Anyway, just my two cents...

Later.

Hmm, I've never even looked at that until you pointed it out...yes, it would be really interesting to see the difference of 10 years!  Who did that poll?

Check this link...

I think it would be interesting to see the results compared to 2001...I would be willing to bet the % American has dropped...lots of Aussie members now...not sure if the Canadian content has changed much, but who knows...

I agree...we are pigs...I did it too with Mary, but have calmed down...now I'm kinda protective of her (I don't even know her though...??...still a pig thing?)  Could be because I have three daughters and two sisters...I tend to stand up for them all...

Good thing she has thick skin...'cause we can all be idiots...

Anyway...the survey...the original was probably done by John and Anne...

I couldn't find a pic of just John...he's probably the camera man... :icon_mrgreen:

I don't know if they are still running the site, or if they have handed it over to someone else...I do think it would be cool to see the NEW results.

I love the TV show list with most no longer airing (except for repeats). It's unbelievable to think which shows are still going though...

This site was brought up a day or so after my son was born. As a result I didn't get on the site till 28th jan 2003.

But, of all coinkidinks my favorite is -

  werase643       Motorcycle God! 2003-01-28 3855   
  The Buddha       Administrator 2003-01-28 20948 

Werase643 is just before me, if I recall I had met him just a few weeks prior to this.

Cool.
Buddha.
