Forum Stats

[Dazzler]

Hi Folks,

I know the month still has a few hours to run in some places, but close enough for this exercise.

I was interested to see how Covid has affected the forum stats.

Things went a bit quiet new members wise in March and April, but good to see them back up this month even though posts down a bit.

With the rise of social media good to see a 12 year old forum like this still ticking along steadily.

Welcome to all our new members and thanks to the old stalwarts for staying around and continuing to contribute.

A huge thank you to Steve (Shambles) for all the work he still does in the background to keep things running smoothly online.

12 years this month.. hasn't that flown by!

Edit: Got 4 more new members overnight so end up with 122 for May (a good number by historical standards)

Pleased to have been here since 2009.
Great forum, and truly an exemplar in social engagement and support.
Full credit goes to the admins for keeping it working and making it a gratifying experience for a cadre of quality contributors who enhance the experience.
Build it and they will come.
And they came.
And they stayed.

Great to see the numbers back up I was expecting the numbers to have been higher through the lockdown period but I guess everyone was to busy at home drinking

Yeah, that might be the reason... or watching porn?

That milestone slipped by! Average of almost exactly 1000 PA (happy with that)

12020/12000
= 60.01/60
precisely the fraction represented by 1/10 second past 1 minute
AND 1/10 minute past 1 hour
BUT WAIT ... that's 6 seconds past the hour!
In roman numerals that's MMMDCVI
I admit I was lost at that point. I ask myself 'does it mean anything?'
Then I subtract 3447 (the international public key encryption standard)
and it all CLIX
