the current status of our activity

[Kalahari Inkantation]

July 2011 has been the most active month we've had in a full year and nine months.  Year-over-year, 2011's activity thus far has been an enormous step up from 2010's.

For comparison:

7 April 2010 - 21 August 2010: 30,668 posts
7 April 2011 - 21 August 2011: 57,422 posts

(of course in april 2010 we were recovering from massive data loss/downtime (which is why january 1 - april 6 have been omitted))

That's slightly over 87% growth.  There may still be hope for us yet.

however this month has been slightly lacking compared to last:

1 July 2011 - 21 July 2011: 11,508 posts
1 August 2011 - 21 August 2011: 10,963 posts

that's about a 5% drop, which isn't bad, but i'd much rather have percentages increasing

And there's still time to change that: in order to at least match (and hopefully surpass) last month's activity (which, again, was our highest in nearly two years), we need to average about 528+ posts per day starting now.  Does Boyah care to make this month even more active than the last?

[spoiler]i'm (perhaps unrealistically) hoping we can eventually get to the point at which we can average 1000+ posts/day like we did in boyah's earliest years, and this overall growth is only a good sign [/spoiler]

I tried inviting my friend who'd fit right in but he wasn't interested in another online community

I don't think I posted that much this month.

I'll change that because school is starting, and I want to avoid that shit.

I think my quota is the highest it's been in months

Our irl friends

...oh wait

Personally, I would desperately try to avoid having a person I know in person join Boyah -- and it almost happened once.

but that's because i'm unnaturally private

But if anyone else cares to invite people they know in person, please go ahead.

Hmmm...  Maybe I'll make it my goal to recruit an irl friend before the year is over.

Every friend I try to make join Boyah either looks at it for like 5 minutes and is like "eh, cool but no" or joins and posts like 5 times and leaves.
