| #1crazy_monkeyJun 30, 2008 12:58:50 | This thread is a daily numbers tracking to watch the number of active threads in the RPG area forums. Starting today (with stats for yesterday), I will be posting daily with the number of active threads for the day in each of the forums under the Gleemax RPG header. Active Thread, in this case, means any thread that was posted in during the day being measured. This thread will be updated daily for one week. 6/29/08 Active Threads RPGs General Discussion - 1 Community Business - 1 As the Die Rolls (off-topic discussions) - 0 d20 Modern & General - 3 d20 Character Optimization - 14 d20 Character Development - 1 |
| #2crazy_monkeyJul 01, 2008 10:32:39 | As an aside, I'm basing the day of posts on my time zone (Mountain Time). This may skew the results if you measure from a different time zone, but the week's worth compilation amounts will be the same. 6/30/08 Active Threads RPGs General Discussion - 1 Community Business - 1 As the Die Rolls (off-topic discussions) - 0 d20 Modern & General - 8 d20 Character Optimization - 21 d20 Character Development - 1 |

| #4crazy_monkeyJul 03, 2008 10:13:17 | 7/2/08 Active Threads RPGs General Discussion - 1 Community Business - 2 As the Die Rolls (off-topic discussions) - 0 d20 Modern & General - 10 d20 Character Optimization - 21 d20 Character Development - 1 Results for 7/4 may not be indicative of a normal day of posts as I suspect a lot of folks will be away from the boards blowing things up. ;) |
| #5crazy_monkeyJul 05, 2008 9:55:26 | Results for 7/3 and 7/4 are going to be skewed due to yesterday's forum technical issues. 7/3/08 Active Threads RPGs General Discussion - 1 Community Business - 1 As the Die Rolls (off-topic discussions) - 0 d20 Modern & General - 6 d20 Character Optimization - 21 d20 Character Development - 1 |

| #7crazy_monkeyJul 06, 2008 10:15:45 | More technical difficulties will be skewing the results. I'm not counting glitched threads created in the last couple of days that have no posts in them. 7/5/08 Active Threads RPGs General Discussion - 1 Community Business - 1 As the Die Rolls (off-topic discussions) - 0 d20 Modern & General - 3 d20 Character Optimization - 12 d20 Character Development - 1 |
| #8crazy_monkeyJul 06, 2008 10:17:27 | That completes the week of daily monitoring. Tomorrow, I will take a look at the total weekly active threads. Again, unfortunately, this week is not a good measure of typical forum activity due to the technical difficulties the forums have been having. |
| #9gamer_zer0Jul 06, 2008 23:45:56 | Thanks for taking care of this. =) |
| #10gamer_zer0Jul 21, 2008 23:20:06 | Just checking in. =) |
| #11crazy_monkeyJul 22, 2008 10:52:51 | Question: Do you want daily and/or weekly data for a more non-glitchy week? |
| #12crazy_monkeyJul 24, 2008 20:09:02 | I think for my own sense of satisfaction, I am going to do this again on a more non-glitchy week and include some more data, such as most active discussions. I'll be starting the data collection on Sunday, the 27th. |
| #13gamer_zer0Jul 25, 2008 18:52:52 | I think for my own sense of satisfaction, I am going to do this again on a more non-glitchy week and include some more data, such as most active discussions. Thanks. I'd say that we should wait for a non-glichy week, but...well, we haven't had one for a while now. ![]() |
| #14crazy_monkeyJul 26, 2008 9:56:48 | Thanks. I'd say that we should wait for a non-glichy week, but...well, we haven't had one for a while now. There haven't been as many glitches here lately. Let's hope that luck holds starting tomorrow. :D |

| #16Omen_of_PeaceJul 29, 2008 2:35:43 | Thanks for the counts. Is it just me or are most of the forums under the minimum mandated by CM ? ![]() |

Community Business doesn't get as much traffick as the CB forums in other areas. One CB forum for the entire General Gaming area should be more than sufficient. As the Die Rolls can be safely dropped off the roster. I think the Rec-Room adequately covers the need for off-topic conversation. d20 Modern & General still gets plenty of traffick. Despite the merge of the various d20 design forums into this one, the focus of the topics remains d20 Modern for the most part. d20 Character Optimization is, without a doubt, one of the busiest forums in the whole community and certainly the busiest forum in the RPGs area. The focus is definately D&D 3.5 however. There are no discussions of outside sources and other d20 products going on. Thus, the forum is, in spirit, "D&D 3.5 Character Optimization." d20 Character Development traffick has dwindled, considerably. This could be an indication that it is on its last legs. Gamer_Zer0, let me know if you need any more info and I'll see what I can do. |
