It's nearly a day late, because of various things keeping me up. (Pied Piper Project among them. Here's a preview of what I'm working on.) Also, I have to hurry now because in a few hours I'm going away to vote! :)

1. Merely 91 members have joined us this month, and 52 of them have posted. It's very little compared to the last months, the summer appears to be over (as well as the GF3 hype?)

Monthly Overview:
April 2005: 151/87
May 2005: 78/43
June 2005: 147/91
July 2005: 153/88
August 2005: 108/62
September 2005: 91/52

2. Our active community is at an all-time low, with 256 posters in the past month. Of these, 52 joined this month and 204 are older members. (This distinction is made because the old members are more likely to post again next month).

Monthly Overview:
April 2005: 360 (273)
May 2005: 262 (219)
June 2005: 325 (232)
July 2005: 352 (264)
August 2005: 293 (231)
September 2005: 256 (204)

3. 5412 posts. Although our active core is at an all-time low, the post traffic is not - each member has posted more. 21.14 posts per member, 174.58 per day, and .682 per member per day.

Monthly Overview:

April 2005: 7576 | 186 | 21 | 0.47
May 2005: 4723 | 169 | 18 | 0.52
June 2005: 7267 | 251 | 22.4 | 0.77
July 2005: 8691 | 271.6 | 24.7 | 0.77
August 2005: 5917 | 190.9 | 20.1 | 0.65
September 2005: 5412 | 174.6 | 21.1 | 0.68

===========================================

This month, I win the game of losing.

1. Arancaytar: 3202. Thuryl: 2743. Thralni: 2514. Ben: 2455. Alorael: 2156. Drakefyre: 1847. Ash Lael: 1758. Kelandon: 1729. Spring: 12610. Archmage Alex: 125The complete rankings are available now.

And in the meantime, because I don't want to start a new thread:

The counters have already been very busy counting our votes for the Federal Elections over here. According to an estimate an hour ago (they're not done yet) 33.7% will go to the SPD (Social Democrats), 35.8% to the CDU (Christian Democrats, or Conservatives), 8.2% to the Greens, 10.3% FDP (Free Democrats, or Liberals) and 8.0% to the Left.

In theory, the CDU and their coalition partner the FDP each win the cake (the CDU is the strongest of the large parties, and the FDP the strongest of the small). In practice, however, neither the Greens nor the Left Party will align with the CDU, but are not unlikely to align with the SPD. What this means is that although the right came out with what BBC calls a "slim victory", they've had a loss in terms of strategy.

I'm not yet sure what to think of that. It's usually easier to judge from the outside than from the inside, and I know more about US politics than I do about German politics.

The point of posting a lot is not having to click on a link to find your post ranking. See, there's a silver lining!

—Alorael, who knows almost nothing about German politics. This is yet another instance of American elitist nationalism or apathy, take your pick.

I find myself evaluating the parties based on how they stand towards the US or Bush. The wrong approach, maybe, but currently the last we need is someone who sucks up to Dubya.

I really like the look of your PPP app, though, Aran. I'll be looking forward to that.

I obviously need to get off my arse and get a'postin' some more. Unfortunately, law school has proven to get in the way of this...

Soon, all semblance of reading someone else's post before writing one's own, and using actually understandable languages will be gone as well. And then, my evil plan to destroy all communication on Spiderweb will be complete! Mwahahahhaahaa!

Somehow, I knew that this this topic was by Aran before I even entered General. I just saw the name and guessed.

Also, Polaris seems to be down for me, so I have no idea where I came, but I doubt it's very high. Quite possibly only a single digit number of posts, in fact.

polarisboard.org causes grief to nameservers everywhere, seemingly. The one here I use here in Aachen frequently returns a 404, but it is currently working.

Edit: Also, you have 26 posts.

It adds up, trust me.

Once again, I am the last poster in all active threads today. It bites. If only I were able to measure usefulness or even wordcount of a post... :(

Edit: I didn't this time.
