The Monthly Report - March 2012 Edition

[Twilight Sparkle ✨ 8,520]

Following up on February's report, I've put another one together for the month of March. Sorry it's so late - my April has been very hectic so far, and school is showing no signs of letting up on me.

 

You'll notice I also didn't include daily averages this time. Frankly, it takes a good bit longer to put the post together with them, so if you really want them, they're pretty easy to calculate yourself - just divide by 31.

 

Now, have some numbers!

[Killian Jones 2,653]

Divide by 31 if you want daily averages.

 

But uhm ponies, we spend about a month total as a group per day on here. I think we are addicted.

[Prince Lightning Da Cute 616]

I believe it's time to celebrate, with averages like these, who won't!

[Typhoid Libby 1,265]

Congrats, all your hunam interactions are now numbers.

Welcome to ze Matrix.

[HomuraBL 851]

So many big numbers! That means Goodness!

 

But on a serious level. I remember when I thought: "Why am I joining a forum? I'm just going to leave 3 months into it like all the others..."

 

Boy was I wrong...

Same here.

I wonder if there's any practical way to see how many active members there are.

As always, thank you Feld0 for providing this wonderful report. It is doubly appreciated because you had to take time out of a hectic schedule to make room for this.

 

Oh wait... Hey! We have two datapoints!

 

That means that it's time for extrapolation!!!

This is a terrible, terrible way to do statistics.....

Scootacool, that was hilarious.

 

In any event these statistics really give a clear picture of just how strongly this forum is growing. I suspect it's going to become a super major forum by the end of the year, far larger than it is now even.

[Doctor XFizzle 8,651]

Hooray for long-term increasing pageviews trend. Hopefully it will continue to rise and not fall.

[Evilshy 5,089]

I think I will finally achieve my goal of being a major member on a well known forum

 

Also, yay extrapolation! yay xkcd
