Members by Map...

That's an interesting feature.

Seems we have 285 members here in Maryland.  Not bad for a little state!

I think that the number of people on at one time is also interesting.  At this time, there are 1,200 folks currently on line (287 logged in and 913 guests)!

I see Texas, a state you can drop pretty much the entire Northeast into, has but 217.   At least we beat Poland.

That is a cool item to view. Hear in Illinois we have 347 members. You can also  look down on the page and look any wear  in the world and see the # of members we have.  That is a cool feature to have. 

Heck, we have more members than that in Poland, Ohio! 

I was somewhat surprised that there are 47 members from Maine. I would have guessed much lower.

'Jak sie masz?'

How are you?  In Polish, Slovak, Russian or any Slavic language.

Dobre.

Good.

I am surprised that Illinois is not higher.

We have one member in New Zealand (Colin?) and one member in China (Bill?). I think we should have a lot more from China, since a lot of product is made there. Also, I wonder if our one member in Finland is in Helsinki (a very nice city, BTW), or up north with the caribou?

OK, I'm not afraid to admit it. I'm somewhat of a computer illiterate.   How DO you get this map?

Only 1 in China, I thought we had two. 19 in Utah is interesting

I also noted you can sort by Rank which is interesting, I must have "Bad Boy" demerits because by number of points I should be 13th, put my rank is 50. It did take a sudden drop from 21 to 50 after I had some thread that I got chastised in by Allan.. Oh well

Go to the "Members" button in the blue toolbar at the top of the forum, then use the pull down menu on the right side.

I wonder if a lot of them mostly lurk?  I'm on the forum many times each day.   But still lurk 80% of the time vs. posting.

Interesting... North Dakota only has 5, and looks like we have 1 forum member in Timor-Leste.  Now that's a country you don't hear about every day (unless you are that 1 forum member ).

I would not place too much faith in the OGR Forum published stats regarding the number of people currently logged in vs guests etc. If you log in to the site as a member and fail to log out when your session has ended but just close the application on your laptop or other device, the next time you open the application you will find that you are still logged in and most likely have been counted as logged in during the entire period of your absence. If you take the trouble of deleting all cookies on your machine after a session you will then be logged out

or not automatically logged in when you open the application. Either way, the stats in my estimation provide little or no useful guidance to the interested observer.

Your results may vary.

33 in the UK .  That looks like the highest after Canada for international members.

5 of us here in Holland. 

All right who is from Finland?

50 in Iowa.

Dan

166 in North Carolina. Wonder if that includes Mike Reagan's cadre at Concord?

one from China.  wonder what they thing with all the complaining going on here.

Only 86 in AZ.  It also seems that the farther west you go, the less are in the hobby.  And where to DC's members get thrown into?

Neat feature. I didn't know about it until I read your post. I was surprised to see Alabama has 56 members. I only see a couple of members from here posting on the forum and with the almost nonexistence of hobby shops in the state I didn't expect nearly that many.

1.  You have to be signed in as a member

2.  When you are signed in as a member, "Members" will appear between "Calendar" and "Search" on the blue bar below the banner ads.  Click on it.

3.  Now click on the drop down box on the right just above "OGR Forum Sponsors" and then click on "Map."

Thanks for making us aware.  Also scrolled through the member list and observed a lot of people have not signed on for years, which would inflate the map numbers for those surprised by the counts for their states (presuming all are included in the map statistics).  Dead, dead to the hobby, Facebook/Twitter casualties, or just men (and women) of few words?

What, me worry?

Maine may have 47 members, but i believe that there are only about 6 or 7 active.

With the activity at Wheaton and the March Meet, I'd have thought Illinois might have

been higher, too.

Back in the day Ohio and Michigan would have been hotbeds, but I guess many of us moved South or West.

Currently, we have 13,000+ memberships on the forum.  Many folks sign up but like Alfred said above they don't participate in an active way...even though they may still be alive!!

Note that this will not work on an iPad. The map display uses Flash.

That would be Colorado.

I did not have any thing to estimate Michgan Membership by so really gon't know if the 275 members is good or bad.

Bill I never really knew that Johnny Denver had so much insight when he wrote and sang Rocky Mountain High

If it isn't Steve from 3rd rail I wonder it was the guy who was building Yachts there

Marty E,

    This does not surprise me, with all the people who worked for the railroads and all the people who worked building the railroads and the Union Switch & Signal employees & and the Westinghouse Air Brake employees families building railroad electronics & Air Brakes, Pa kids grew up with a lot of their fathers working for the railroad industry in some way or another, most all of us owned Lionel or American Flyer O Gauge trains as part of our family Christmas tradition.  There is little doubt IMO why Pa has so many members here on the OGR. Pa little boys & girls played with the toys that emiulated their parents real life everyday jobs.  Many of us OGR members are part of those families.

With California being the fourth biggest state, I'm surprised we don't see more western-scenic'd and Western Pacific and Southern Pacific railroading on the forum.

DC has 8. You have to zoom way in before DC appears.
