Having moved to a new server two weeks ago, which offers a lot more space, more flexibility and also the shiny domain ermarian.net (see the Encyclopedia topic) I also decided to spend some time making an interactive display panel that could show exactly the same info I'm posting here. After all, it's already stored in a MySQL database, so it might as well have a front end. This front end is now here. It's simple, it's easy to use, it's interactive and above all it has ads from my pimp-- *cough* kind sponsor Google at the top (hey, that hosting is expensive I tell you). This program now takes over pretty much all of the function of this topic. But because, being designed by me, it is doomed to fail whenever I will have least time to fix it, I will continue to post the info here. Whenever there's a discrepancy, trust my numbers and not those of the program. So for those who like the stats delivered in a familiar and less impersonal way, all the content will still be in here. Anyway. 1. Joining Rate 85 new members have joined us this month, of which 52 have posted. The total of registrations is imperceptibly higher than in the last two months, but the number of actual posters is more so. Still, it's a slow month. 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 October 2005: 81/43 November 2005: 83/41 December 2005: 85/52 2. Activity A total of 239 members have posted in the last month. 187 of these are old members, 52 of them just joined this month and will to a great part vanish again immediately. This is a small increase from last month, but more apparent is the increase in new members over old members - this might indicate a loss of activity in the future, when some of the new members leave again. 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) October 2005: 229 (186) November 2005: 234 (193) December 2005: 239 (187) Postage: We have broken another record. No need to cheer; it's a record low. 3958 posts, by far the lowest monthly post count that we have yet had this year. This might be seasonal though; I don't know since I don't have last December to compare it with. 3958 posts divided by 30 days comes out to 131.93 posts per day, or by 239 members to 16.56 per member, or 0.552 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 October 2005: 4477 | 149.3 | 19.5 | 0.65 November 2005: 4389 | 141.6 | 18.8 | 0.61 December 2005: 3958 | 131.9 | 16.6 | 0.55 4. Rankings This month's rankings are available here. Please note that this script will only begin to work correctly when the server thinks it is the 17th, which won't be for another hour (server's in Texas). [Edit: Changed a function, now it works.] The top ten, however, are here. I win yet again, but note that Alorael is also rather near the top this month. Also, congratulations to Alo for making me increase the width of the postcount column. Ow. I've been up for the past six hours.

Congrats to Vlish for making it into the top ten for the first time! And it appears that Aran and I are about neck-and-neck in total post count again. I see that I've returned to the top five after my first absence last month. I suspect that folks really active with A4 (Alo, myself, etc.) will dominate the rankings next time around. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

I'm out...for the first time in 5 or so months. Ah well, I thought I'd be slowing down a bit. Well done (or not) to all in the 10. EDIT: 11th, by 5 posts. Pah.

I'm ahead of Thuryl for the first time in a very long time! Now the top of the listing is dominated by names that start with A, which is as it should be. —Alorael, who doesn't think a silly endeavor like post rate tabulation would be complete without silly rivalries.

I'm sure my posting will pick up sometime later. For now, I'm just getting to be more and more of a come-and-goer, which is good because I don't have to get desperate to get my 10 posts in every day. :P -------------------- -ben4808 Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00 |

Hm. Little less than 30 posts, so that's less than one in a day. Not so bad, actually. I thought I would've had maybe 5, tops, but I suppose I were still sort of in a active phase round the beginning. Also, not so far away from the fabled 1000 posts. Hopefully, no one will notice. *shh...* -------------------- "I'm not crazy!" "Well, whatever.

41 posts? Wow. It must have been all that spamming during the run to 10,000. Amazing how that movie game increased posting rates, but only for certain people.

Yay! I've succumbed to the delights of a social life, and dropped down the rankings! The real problem is a lack of threads with the opportunity to post within.
