    I've opted to try something different with these and pull them out of
    the FSX_STA echomail area. Currently they are posted four times a
    day.

    I've worked on having those stats posted to the fsxnet.nz website
    instead.

    I'm thinking about what others I should share on the website vs in
    the echomail areas and for those in the echos how often are they
    needed to be posted etc.. pondering the balance between frequency
    vs usefulness.

    I've also added the fsx-use.txt file from the infopack on the website
    to spotlight the Usenet gateway some more..

    Kinda went down a rabbit hole today with this stuff :)

    Might be helpful to have any stats that show message activity on the site
    just as a recruiting tool to convince people that the net is an active
    one and encourge them to take the plunge.

    I know I personally looked at the activity level of othernets before
    deciding to bother with the registration and system setup.

    Thanks :) Yes I have started to add these to the fsxnet.nz website. I agree it's helpful for folks not in the network to see the,stats.
