Martin Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 SFN is in a period of rapid growth IMHO A small stat box has been taken down, i see. but can't attribute any meaning to that Between 11 November 2003 and 9 May 2004 the average posts per day was about 139 In the last 2 months it has been 232 (by my calculation) Here's the data on which that is based: total posts on 5 November 2003 was 25,000 total posts on 9 May 2004 was 50,000 total posts on 9 July 2004 was 63,937 a monthly average posts-per-day seems like a good measure of activity (or a bi-monthly average) Here's what my sig has been lately (I think I might change it so this is just to save the information) [acr=82 on 6 July, 12:30 PM]most users I've seen online[/acr] [acr=16 on 21 June, 3:10 PM]most members online[/acr] [acr=405 on 7 July]most posts per day[/acr] this 405 is what I've noticed firsthand----there is also an official figure of I think 628 posts on 29 June 2004 (no reason to question it, I just recorded what I personally happened to notice) I'm now thinking that running average posts-per-day are the most straightforward way to track growth. so I am going to change my sig to reflect that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Posted July 12, 2004 Author Share Posted July 12, 2004 Why? I thought that would be obvious. I like the site and want to watch it grow right now there is no regularly updated indicator of activity that is easy for an ordinary citizen like me to check total posts since inception doesnt mean anything to a newcomer so probably the best index of activity is some running-average posts-per-day.

Martin Posted July 12, 2004 Author Share Posted July 12, 2004 I took the ministats down to test something and forgot to put it back up Sorry about that! no problem! I hope the impression I'm getting (of rapid SFN growth) is well-founded regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
