Why are the numbers so much lower in June of 2003? Were Smed and Gyb out of town?

sweaver · 10-10-2003, 10:52 AM

In truth, I think they were.

SmedIndy · 10-10-2003, 10:57 AM

Blame me for everything, go ahead!

gyb13 · 10-10-2003, 11:41 AM

yeah, i was on vacation late may/early june then busy with preparations for a work trip...

satchel · 10-10-2003, 11:50 AM

I have noticed that there has been a lot of activity and really good discussion during the playoffs. Please, folks, if you're here for the playoffs, stay for the winter and sit around the hot stove with us! These last couple weeks have been really fun around here.

Wolf -- The thread-count stats are interesting. Do you have the numbers for post-counts to lay aside the thread-counts? I'm just wondering if maybe the threads are getting longer. You know, something like a quantity v. quality review...?

Wolf Hopper · 10-10-2003, 01:07 PM

Can't run those type of stats off the software - sorry.

Duhhh... I must've clicked from the main forum menu rather than from within the sub-forum. Thanks for staying awake, gyb!

“They come and they go,” true. But sometimes they come and they stay.

Over the past 24 hours (since Gyb pointed out to me the additional raw data posted by Wolf), I copied the numbers to a spreadsheet and, as I surfed threads, I grouped guys by join date. Far from comprehensive, I list only posters with recent activity, say within the past month or so.

Posts per Thread (P/T) tends to see its annual peak in October, which is not surprising. Overall however the P/T trend is in decline.

The most fertile influx of currently active posters came aboard on the heels of the 2001 season; that group constitutes the spine of NDF.

Of those joining in the last quarter of 2002, only LisaG remains active.
