So technically, I'm not late even though it is the next morning local time (and incidentally my birthday). Myst IV has me completely in its clutches, which is why I only started the stats run yesterday afternoon. Then I set it up wrong and only noticed in the evening. It should have been finished after another hour, but I fell asleep. So this is why you get them today, still some hours short of midnight, board time. -- Oh right, before I forget: The Encyclopedia Ermariana celebrates its third birthday today as well (that's the "today" of board time, not local time, ie the 17th)! It started three years ago as an MSWord document. Late in July it became a Geocities page, and stayed that way for two years (although the design was improved on a bit). In all that time, I don't think the number of articles increased over 16. Last year, it moved to a MediaWiki site, which then moved to encyclopedia.ermarian.net in December. It now has over 300 entries, some of them quite short (and others of low quality), but the work is progressing far faster than it was earlier. Of course, it did stagnate again after Slarty left... Anyway, as you can see, the skin was just changed to a white on dark-blue theme, which hopefully makes it easier to read. Unfortunately, this meant the logo had to be removed, because it didn't fit with the background. On this note, I know there are a lot of talented artists lurking around here. Do any of you feel like designing a new icon for the Encyclopedia? The picture should be around 150x150 px large to fit in the space (upper left corner), and should match the dark blue background (meaning there shouldn't be fuzzy white borders around it; the logo itself doesn't need to follow the color theme). I could offer different things in return, for example webspace, an @ermarian.net email, or even (for those who still haven't got one) a Gmail invite. Talk about glass pearls... :P -- I. Joining Rate There are 75 new victims waiting to lose their sanity; 39 of them have already lost it. This is the lowest number on record (unlike last month, when I thought it was, and it turned out to be a technical glitch). 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 January 2006: 136/86 February 2006: 100/59 March 2006: 113/63 April 2006: 126/62 May 2006: 94/48 June 2006: 98/51 July 2006: 75/39 II.

Nothing was active. Having a highest monthly post count under 200 is a far cry from the spam-fests of months past. —Alorael, who thinks single-handedly trying to fix that probably falls under the heading of doubleplusungood. It's a pity. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

Haha! I am once again in the top 30! It only took three months. I find it kinda odd, my post count was actually down for this month. Frankly, there just wasn't that much to talk about this month.

One good thing about hardly ever posting is that if you post a little more one month than the previous month, your ranking rockets up. I went from 151st to 87th. Sadly, 87 is nothing to gloat about.

Happy Birthday Aran and I hope you have many more so some one will keep the stats coming. quote:Your becoming a pseudo-mod correcting bad behavior in General. I'm still in the top 10 with even that low post count. I hope the topics start improving so posting in this type of thread doesn't become a major source of next month's posts.
