forum growth

nat · 06/07/2007, 02:56 PM

Just an idle observation: Click on "More Stats" at the bottom of the main forum page here and then scroll to the bottom.

Check out the growth these forums have seen in just 8 months.

We went from 1382 new messages in November '06 to 3781 new messages last month.

Meaningless posts like these contribute greatly. YAY!

Nazi NecroPhile · 06/07/2007, 03:25 PM

I wonder how much growth can be attributed to the Virtual Console.

Best Statistic = Average Intelligent and Germane Posts Per Day: 0.00082. This post did not increase that average, and that word doesn't mean 'pertaining to Jackson'.

Keranu · 06/07/2007, 04:06 PM

There was a huge growth from like 2005 to 2006, Aaron posted the statistics in some thread. Before 2005, these forums were pretty slow.

Kitsunexus · 06/07/2007, 04:38 PM

Did I really spam that much? 0___0

Seldane · 06/07/2007, 04:45 PM

It's obviously been more active as of late. I've been far too active myself, I need to stop posting so much here. For myself, but more importantly for you guys.

Me too.

As a matter of fact, that very same page gives us all sorts of useful information. The primary offenders of spending too much time here: runinruder (does he have a life?

), thumpin_termis, Necromancer, Keranu, Tron, CrackTiger, yours truly, td741 (who the fuck is this guy? for someone who never posts he sure spends a whole hell of a lot of time here), Seldane, and last and very much least Kitsunexus.

Stats are so much fun! Whee!

Keranu · 06/07/2007, 05:05 PM

Sometimes I take breaks from this site, but I am a moderator and must dedicate every second of my life to these forums.

Haha, I never even noticed that td741 guy.

Nazi NecroPhile · 06/07/2007, 05:28 PM

Hmmm... I don't spend that much time on this forum. I'm just stay logged in all day while I spend the day ~~looking at porn~~ working. It's all right with me if Robert Garcia's butler lurks in the shadows of pcenginefx.

Dude, he's on right now. It's creeping me out. I feel like I'm being watched.

Say something, dammit, SAY SOMETHING!!!!!!

Keranu · 06/07/2007, 07:44 PM

Someone report that td471 to the moderator!

Seldane · 06/07/2007, 07:56 PM

I reported him to the monsterator.

Dark Fact · 06/07/2007, 07:59 PM

I wouldn't be surprised if TG16 on the Wii Virtual Console has helped these forums develop over the past few months. I mean, look at the forums now. There is like 5 people on minimum nowadays. Not that that's a bad thing, mind you.

I'm just glad to see the TG16 back in the VG spotlight once again and bringing over new fans! Viva la Wii!

Thank you, I will now send him an email to POST!

Turbo D · 06/07/2007, 08:00 PM

Ya, I'm on here alot too

This site is addicting!

Keranu · 06/07/2007, 08:03 PM

Oh man, I remember who td is now. I just had to look at his profile and see his avatar to remember him. He used to be pretty active a year ago around this time, making a lot of posts in the Turbo forums. I'm sending him a PM to this thread now!

TR0N · 06/07/2007, 10:16 PM

I spend a good mount time here as much as i spend over at neo-geo.com.

Scary no!? Still where else can you talk about the, PCE/TG16 untile your blue in the face

As for the, Wii VC i tend to agree that's probably why membership.. has jump like crazy over this past year.

Dark Fact · 06/07/2007, 11:40 PM

Either way you slice it, more members the merrier. But we may need more mods in the future to handle the increase in traffic. It may be too much for Keranu to handle.

Keranu · 06/07/2007, 11:45 PM

I don't mod jack shite around here.

Dark Fact · 06/07/2007, 11:51 PM

What? I thought you did...given that you post on every thread.

Keranu · 06/08/2007, 12:03 AM

I post sure, but mod? No way! Even though I am one...

Dark Fact · 06/08/2007, 12:11 AM

So you're just a mod for showing off then?

Keranu · 06/08/2007, 12:17 AM

10-4, buddy

Dark Fact · 06/08/2007, 12:22 AM

Does it pay overtime?

Keranu · 06/08/2007, 12:26 AM

Ehh some nights, it depends if Helgeson is on the loose.

Seldane · 06/08/2007, 09:52 AM

Keranu seriously need to start moving some threads around whereas Nanto needs to remove a dozen sections.

td741 · 06/08/2007, 09:58 AM

I'm not even sure if it's worthwhile posting since the thread changed subject.

The reason I'm always online is that I leave my browser open at the office and this machine never shuts down.

That said, I don't tend to post since:
- I'm usually on when I'm at work and I don't always have the time to post.
- I sometimes just don't have anything to say.
- When I do have something to say, I generally don't bother since the thread changed topics. Therefore, I've taken the habit of only reading the last 3-4 posts in each thread and see if I've got anything to add.

Last time I posted before I was mentioned in this thread, was May 28th, 2007. It's not like I'm not posting at all.

Seldane · 06/08/2007, 10:02 AM

OH SH--!!

nat · 06/08/2007, 03:12 PM

We've brought td741 out of hiding! He's not so creepy after all. Look, he's become a regular user! I counted 2 whole messages from him in other forum threads outside this one, in only 1 day!

Keranu · 06/08/2007, 03:49 PM

Thanks for posting again, td!

td741 · 06/08/2007, 04:11 PM

Err... you're welcome?

nat · 06/08/2007, 04:24 PM

It'd be a grand idea not to go and creep us out like that again.

td741 · 06/08/2007, 04:41 PM

Creep people out... No... Why would I do that...

"Any real people?"

"No, just cops."

Speaking of forum growth, yesterday was a special day on pcengine-fx.com history: 102 users online! The highest ever! Yay us!

Turbo D · 06/22/2007, 05:57 AM

guyjin · 06/22/2007, 12:43 PM

Actually, more like:

MrFulci · 06/26/2007, 11:30 PM

I was posting here yesterday when I noticed the max simulataneous had a new record.

I wonder if the pcengine-fx.com ebay auctions had anything to do with the sudden increase? Sure seems to have been a spike since the listings. Very effective advertising!

Dark Fact · 07/04/2007, 08:59 PM

No shit...seriously? 102 users?

I can't remember if I was also on at the time.

Seldane · 07/05/2007, 04:29 AM

102 including "guests", which I bet most of them were.

nat · 07/05/2007, 12:02 PM

We're up to 155 now.

Dark Fact · 07/05/2007, 05:24 PM

C'mon 200!

Man, this place is more active than it was a year ago.
