Activity charts?


Lacquer

Recommended Posts

Is there any record of the forum statistics in the past over time? Something that could be used to plot the activity over time. Posts per day and all that. I'm fairly certain that recently, there have been more than 99 posts per day, but I can't prove it without data. Same with visitors each day. While we haven't had more than the 304 visitors back in June 2012, it'd still be neat to see a graph of the number of visitors over time.

It keeps daily stats for user, thread and post counts, which I dumped and put into Excel. Here's what I have so far:

Yeah I see I screwed up the X axis on posts/thread a bit. Also, I ought to be able to do posts/day, but it'll take a little cleverness to smooth the data. We have 1 sample per day, sometimes more, which made the graph so noisy as to be useless. Some days or half-days we get a lot of posts, and others someone gets a lot of posts deleted. So, I'd probably get a much nicer graph if I smooth the data to week or month averages.

What I like is that the graphs show a distinct leveling off on activity, but there has been no recent decline really. I was right, Tulpa Info forum is not dying, it reached a steady state. *looking smug and intelligent* I also still assert that Tulpa Info forum is only continuing to get better and better. Those people who never post, only to pop in to say how horrible the forum is, don't matter. They are pretty much poopy stupid (as Melian would say).


I also like that slight curve upward at the end of the graph. It is like a touch of a suggestion that activity is increasing.


Oh and I would like to point out there is no evidence here, at least with the charts, that the presence of Mistgod since April has suddenly been killing the board and driving people away. I would like to suggest that the presence of Mistgod helped keep the board active.

Very interesting. Is the recent tall peak a quirk of the way it was smoothed, or does it actually show a significant increase recently? What would have caused that?

 

Oh, also, do you have a chart for registered users per day/week/month/whatever?

Obviously, it's from the new Ban The Person Above You forum game.

My tulpas and I have a Q&A thread, which was the first (and largest) of its kind. Feel free to ask us about tulpamancy stuff there.

Actually forum games did really take off a lot recently, you may be on the right track on that.

Yeah, I think the spike is probably from Forum Games. I'm not entirely sure if stuff there goes into this stat history, but I *think* it does. The smoothing wouldn't make spikes like that since it's just the AVERAGE function in Excel applied with a sliding window using Fill Down. It's also too big a spike to be just from Mistgod.

Oh my spike is bigger than you would think man. Gods to openly doubt the size of a man's spike influence ...like that is just tactless.
