Although TI and Casio development has been going stronger and stronger in the past few months, forums posting activity went slightly lower after the holidays. February, where we ended a streak of 153 days with at least 200 posts each, seemed like it was going to know an activity level similar to January, but thanks to a recent upsurge in traffic and registrations, especially for nDoom, Ndless, Casio hacking and TI-Nspire CX rumors, we managed to catch up and had a 10000-posts month for the 5th time in a row and we have been averaging around 400 per day again!

Higher ranking in Google search for certain keywords also contributed in bringing additional traffic to the site, especially the news section. This month, there have been a total of 4944255 requests on the site excluding the OmnomIRC refresher script. When the TI-Nspire CX got announced, we even saw a peak of 38 users logged in in the past 30 minutes around 4:45 PM GMT-5, then today, over 140 members logged in. The following pictures speak for themselves:

This combined increase in traffic, registrations and activity obviously had the negative effect of also requiring extra moderation, but the good side is that we also got several great new members in the process.

In the future, there are plans to do some work on the main page navigation as well as the top navigation bar, because of all the additions that were done to the site in the past few months, but that will most likely take a while to be finished, as I am not planning to return into major forum management tasks for a long while. For now, the search engine has been tweaked a little bit to increase the relevance of search results and there might be a small expansion occurring on the forums soon.

In 6 months, Omnimaga will turn a decade old, even though the first board and website both went up in 2004. We would like to thank once again everyone who have contributed to this site and the community and we hope to see a continuation of calculator development in long term!

Nah I don't think it would be necessary, because we already have the stats for everyday available at http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?action=stats anyway, plus I fear with an easy-to-see counter, some people would start mass-posting in Randomness to have exactly 404 posts every day or something.

On a side note one of the Ndless 2.0 topic already got 12000 views.

About the 200 posts day streak, it actually ended when the site was down for several hours.

Btw, 4944255 requests this month. That of course excludes logbounce (OmnomIRC refreshing). I will check later in my spreadsheets somewhere how many we had the previous months.

Nice! I hope this trend will continue!
Are the daily post count numbers including or excluding randomness?

Excellent work everyone.  To all of our new users, welcome, and beware of lolis and Astleys.

Wow, this is awesome
Long live Omni!
Long live 42!

This is amazing It just goes to show how popular and successful we are as a community!

I thought you guys set it up so randomness was counted in post counts? Doesn't it do the same thing for sstats?
