Some interesting stats, Mark.

 

[UncleFester]

Mark do those counts include 'pruned by date' posts?

Odd that despite the increase in 'chitterchatter' there isn't that many more posts .... do you have the breakdown by forum area too? That would be interesting to see

 

[ZBOYD]

Nope sadly the stats don't allow you to filter out the forum areas.

It will only count the posts and threads that are still on the database (by date) so those threads and posts that have been deleted or pruned won't be counted.

 

[UncleFester]

I would guess those pruned threads are where the real increases would be seen as they're the OT areas - what it does therefore prove is that the 'main forum' technical posts growth is healthy?

 

[ZBOYD]

Steady growth, and what we would of expected given previous years really. Registrations don't appear to have slowed, you can obviously discount say 10% as spam which we deal with pretty quickly.

does it give the highest posters?

or users online the most?

Highest posters is available to view in the Members List. It's m0rk currently.

It doesn't allow me to poll statistics on an individual user basis

Bit more info - Analytics stats

Here are some usage stats from Google Analytics which we only started using about a year ago, but due to an unforeseen problem with the account we lost a lot of data recently so can't give an accurate annual stat.

However here are the recorded figures for the period Dec 16th 2008 to Jan 15th 2009.

Remember this is one calendar month not the annual usage which we can't yet measure having only recently set this back up. But from previous results we can say without doubt that this represents a usual average month for the past 12 months or more.

Really interesting to see these Mark, many thanks to you for taking the time and effort to put them together.

I guess despite the fact that SEAT could be seen to be reducing some of focus on their original core UK market (sports models), the number of forum dwellers / new arrivals does not seem to be abating. I guess if times get harder and people need help on a budget more people could continue to arrive.

Never surprised to see the Mk1 Leon forum is the most popular!! I try to make sure I post all my threads in there

you could look at it with all the newbies, that Seat are still making cars with rattly parts and newbies are coming on here to ask questions on how to fix them

either way, very interesting

 

[alexj124]

good stats!!

i find it funny if you search with anything remotely conected to a SEAT in google. The top hits will alway be a SCN thread

 

[lc_allan]

Nice stats...Some interesting reading

 

[ZBOYD]

Those glasses don't suit you.

Do the figures include the number of people permanently banned since the forum began!

 

[m0rk]

Do the figures include the number of people permanently banned since the forum began!

what's that supposed to mean?

 

[ZBOYD]

Not that it really matters, but most on the ban list are spammers. The total users that are banned doesn't even equate to 1% of the total membership of the forum.

1% it can easily do without! We very rarely need to ban people unless they compromise the site, by grossly ignoring it's rules and bringing it into disrepute.

Everyone else that happily enjoys using SCN manages to do it without pissing other people off, its a simple choice for us to remove the minority that cause the majority to not enjoy the site.

It's never personal though some seem to consider it is, frankly I couldn't care less. I think were pretty slack in most cases, and are happy to discuss things in an adult manner. Sadly those that get permanently banned don't appear to have any diplomatic skill.

 

[Fl@pper]

Not that it really matters, but most on the ban list are spammers. The total users that are banned doesn't even equate to 1% of the total membership of the forum.

0.229% to be exact of which 0.190% have been computer created spam programs 0.039% humans

sorry - was bored

 

[Aimez]

Er okay chill guys I was only asking if the figures took into account banned people was a reasonable question was just wondering!
