Daily posting record of 669 broken
« on: November 07, 2010, 11:37:02 pm »
Since the past two months, most Sundays see unusually high amounts of activity. For 5 weeks in a row, from September 26th to October 23rd, Sunday was a 400+ posts day. Following October 17th, there was a minor drop in activity due to midterms and the next Sunday was in the low 300s. However, that day remained an exception, as the next two Sundays went back above 400, with 522 posts on Oct 31st.

Tonight, we also broke a very old daily posting record that dated back on January 1st 2007. Until 11 PM, including the two 1AM-1:59AM periods caused by Dailight Saving Time ending last night, a total of 687 posts were made today, breaking the New Year 2007 record of 669. That old record was not very legit, though, as about 600 of those posts were posted in the Randomness section, unlike our new record. If we do not count that record for that reason, the legit record would be 553, on September 26th 2010. Since today is a 25-hour long day, the 687 is still counting as I write this, and makes a huge contrast with yesterday's 248 posts, which was the lowest in 6 weeks.

Despite a recent drop in traffic and less regular activity on the forums, we are currently in a streak of 58 200+ post days in a row, most of our staff are actively working on calculator projects and some members as well. We hope to have more news and releases in the upcoming future.

UPDATE: The count finally stopped at 739, close to what we used to get in an entire month sometimes, one year ago.

Nice job guys. Does today counts as 687 or over 700 posts for next time we break that record, since today had 25 hours instead of the normal 24?

Well, technically it would be the total 25 hours records, due to the board stats, but to be fair, I mentionned what we got in 24 hours in the news. It will be updated later with the total as well.

Now I must... starcraft...

Oh, this is why for the 687 number I only included posts made within the first 24 hours of yesterday, not the last hour. That way it is more fair. :P

The busiest days would now be:
1-739 (Sun, Nov 7 2010)
2-669 (Mon, Jan 1 2007)
3-553 (Sun, Sep 26 2010)
4-530 (Thu, Sep 30 2010)
5-522 (Sun, Oct 31 2010)
6-500 (Thu, Nov 4 2010)
7-499 (Mon, Nov 1 2010)
8-495 (Sun, Oct 17 2010)
9-492 (Wed, Oct 6 2010)
10-479 (Mon, Oct 25 2010)

11 is tied with 10 but have 3 less new topics. As you can notice, 3 of those 500+ posts days occured on a Sunday.

* DJ Omnimaga hopes Patriotsfan comes back eventually D:

EDIT: By the way, we've been flirting close to the 400 posts a day average lately. Here's a graphics attached at the bottom of the post, generated with a free spreadsheet software other than OpenOffice.org, as doing a moving average in OOo seemed to be a huge hassle. In this graph, you can see a representation of the daily post statistics since August 25th 2008. The black line is a 30 day moving average, kinda like on Cemetech's stats page.

Some comments on this trend: Notice the sudden jump in activity following Ndless and gbc4nspire release. Afterward there was some lull caused by exams, which ended when the Axe Parser contest was announced. After another spike in activity, came the summer lull, but it did not impact activity as much as I saw a few years ago. Activity remained constant for most of August. For odd reasons, in early September, Activity became irregular with some quiet days, but it did not last long enough to cause an average activity decrease. As you can notice, during September and October, after the contest ended, there was an incredibly high activity spike that bumped us close to the 400 posts a day average, but there appears to have been a small slowdown, lately, with the exception of this Sunday.

Anyway, enjoy :P . Eventually, I'll have to ask KermMartian if he could show me the script he has been using to generate the graphs on his website so I can maybe have one on our stats page too. To reduce server load, it would be nice if it fetched daily post stats from the stats logs, though.
