Hi,
using my software http://www.jostjahn.de/software/eurobill.html I took a look at a random profile collection of 5000 users.
I noticed, that after the magic 30 days membership only 15% of all users made active entrances. The number of notes are even smaller. Take a look at the last 500 days, the percentage of new users are only a little bit less than the percentage of active users.
In other way: After 30 days, 40% of active users are users, who are new at EBT, after 500 days only 15% of "active" (in 500 days) users are longer than 500 days at EBT.
I'm not the statistical crack, but it seems, that much more than 50% of EBT users will never been active again.
Here the graphic:

Data 2005 Nov:
Another interesting fact is, that the intensity of country members are not the same. A table of active members contries using this 700 profile selection (only countries with 10 or more mebers):
Country, all members (percent of all) active members (percent of all)
Germany 810 (16%); 119 (20%)
Finland 1260 (26%) 115 (19%)
Portugal 342 (7%) 103(17%)
Netherlands 827 (17%), 73 (12%)
Belgium 678 (14%), 68 (11%)
Although Portugal has only 8% of all members in my selection, it has 19% of active members.
Some user have now all user profiles. If I get a file copy, I can make a more complete statistic.
Maybe, this graphic and data was of interest to you.
