Forum Statistics

livelongandprosper77 · Tue Dec 19, 2006 4:05 pm

Hello llap77 here, just wanted to suggest (if this hasn't been suggested somewhere) that more stats about the site or forum itself be available to see like through a button on the main index. I am just interested in how many people visit, how many posts are made in a day, week, month, how many new users join per day, and more long term data concerning the site; like maybe graphs and percentages. I realize that some stats are shown at the bottom of the forum index but seem limited. There are many more aspects that i have not mentioned stats wise but these things interest me and have noticed them on other boards. Just a thought

Thanks..

i love these kinds of stats too, though i find most boards don't reveal too much detail on these things.

here's a link to my ancient analysis of the forum's growth way back in july and august 2006:

Whoa cool graph milowent

! That is the kind of info i mean right there i just love to see the little or big underlying details of a site's history. My best friend's board has a details section that has a lot of info about his site on it and is very similar in layout to this site. However, he has had it down for sometime and i can't provide a link sadly

. Oh well... but maybe something will eventually be given to show us more detail oriented people what we like to see.

The fans built up rapidly I must say.

Anyone care to conjecture on the notion that a small minority of people are influencing the direction of the project?

Not necessarily those listed above, just in general... And is this a positive direction for the project?

i think this kind of distribution is fairly common in forums. even if you count all those with more then 100 posts here, that's still a very small portion of the regular lg15 audience.
