Title: The O'Club...
Post by: Mini D on May 23, 2003, 12:48:58 AM
I looked at the total number of posts in the O'Club around January when I noticed it was heating up in here.  Total posts were around 170,000.  Total posts for the General Forum were at 274,000.  Now... the O'Club is at 210,000 and the General Forum is at 278,000.

HTC needs to get AH2 out the door fast.

Wow. :eek:

The war has much to do with the jump in the O'club posts... but that doesn't tell the whole story. And it doesn't explain the drop in the frequency of posts in the General forum. I suspect you're right...in that it has to do with AH's development. But that also doesn't tell the whole story. For example, does it indicate a decline in interest of AH overall? Or is it merely a reflection of the fact that without any new releases to discuss, there's just nothing new to discuss?

New releases have always been the main interest for me. So I'm patiently waiting for AH2. There's plenty to do in the meantime.

And, like Nash said, the war made things pretty frenetic around here for a couple of months.

That doesn't explain the sad lack of life that would lead one to count posts in the first place, though.

I never post in General Forums and rarely, if ever, read it. The O'Club seemed like the appropiate forum for me so this is all I post to. Unfortunately as soon as my house sells we're moving to the North Coast and I won't have Internet Access. I'll miss O'Club more than I'll miss my porn sites even.

Maybe the level of monthly "venting" is constant. It just gets redistributed throughout the various forums as "necessary"?

We won't miss you at all.

So there.

Not a drop in the number of posts in the General forum... a drop in the frequency. The O'Club picked up 40,000 posts since January, while the General forum picked up only 4,000 (approx 1k per month).

That's gotta be way below average for the General forum - otherwise it would only be at around 50,000 (4 years times 12k) instead of 278,000.

And yeah, this is a stupid thread. :D

Wow... if you'd actually finished the third grade you'd know the difference between counting and subtraction.  So much for the florida education system... or was it texas?  I forget... you told stories of so many trailer parks from your childhood that it got a bit confusing.

It seems MT has similar problems with math and the term "frequency".  274,000/40 = 6850 posts per month.  Compare that to less than 1000 posts per month.  Sorry MT, I thought it would be obvious for most.  I can see you were an exception.

Personally, I blame the French and other Eurotrash for the drop in numbers.

It took 8 months.  100,000 posts in the O'Club over that 8 months, to 32,000 in the general forum.

As someone pointed out, there's been a lot more new, exciting developments going on in the world than in AH during that period.
Title: The O'Club...
Post by: Mini D on January 22, 2004, 01:28:09 PM
You'd almost think that would lead to new and exciting posts... too bad it's just been the same stuff rehashed over and over.

well... there is just so many times that you can explain that moving the fields closer together is the solution.    If they don't get it.... they don't want to get it.
