Official Boyah Stats Document **WITH GRAPHS**

[Daddy]

http://boyah.net/JMV290/Boyah%20Statistics.pdf

Now that December has ended I could complete the document that had not been updated since September 2009.  Statistics for every month since our founding have been included and graphed.  Each year is included in its own graph. The end combines all four years of Boyah into a single graph.

Enjoy.

[don't let's]

So Boyah has always been a trouble child

That last graph of posts per month that shows every month is pretty cool, it shows a definite downward trend, with the later end of this year starting to pick back up towards the activity of '09
If we actually make a push to get more members, have interesting things going on, etc, I think we could get up to a comfortable area of around 1200 a month, somewhere around late '07 to mid-'08 in terms of activity. In my opinion that would be the ideal level, because I like being a small forum but we still have weird spans of nopost,

[Daddy]

By 1200 per month I hope you mean topics.

Otherwise we'd be NSF.

cool story clucky

i helped

Otherwise we'd be NSF.

i think we'd have to put boyah out of its misery if it ever became that bad

[Hiro]

By 1200 per month I hope you mean topics.

Otherwise we'd be NSF.

Oh whoops, I was looking at the wrong graph. Yes for topics, I meant around 30k posts.

That steady increase at the very end of last year's and the overall graph...

By the way, the goal is to get back to 2008's levels of activity, where months in the 20,000s were comparatively low.

also, i will be setting goals a bit more difficult than simply "beating last month" from now on in order to hopefully speed up the process

it won't happen unless there's a lot of shitposting (and there has been) or we get a good number of new members

[PLEASEHELP1991]

i like how the last page all so suddenly conforms to ISO 8601

[The Hand That Fisted Everyone]

it won't happen unless there's a lot of shitposting (and there has been) or we get a good number of new members

this is implying that we post anything other than shitposts

Most Online isn't particularly interesting outside those two days
What happened with registrations this summer?

[snoorkel]

I like how boyah's history is annotated with numerous outages, losses, anomalies, and general fuck ups. BUT WE PREVAIL


I will argue that the current upward trend of activity is actually happening in an alternate timeline where the apr2010 crash didn't happen, except delayed 1.5 years. basically we suffered concussive trauma and are only now remembering what happened in those 3 months and picking up where we left off.

also jmv can I have the analytics login ... if we still use analytics
