Response to El D\'s request for online user count by forum
 

I am posting the data here as comma delimited data that can be cut and pasted into a file and saved in CSV format.

Since this will make for long lines and a sloppy format, on the forum, I think it belongs in a separate post.

Others can use this for posting their results. Graphs and analysis that can be posted in original thread.

Re: Response to El D\'s request for online user count by forum
 

Stevie, there appears to be problems with the data... can you confirm that you are handling the case where there are "no viewers" of a forum (and thus no label) properly...

Other than that, good work so far.

ps... what time zone?

The sponsored rakeback forums are showing values of zero and have the appropriate number of entries, so this appears to be working.

Tip to anyone importing this: take the commas out of forum names to get everything to line up correctly. Otherwise, SMP, BFI, and others may get messed up.

yeah, the sites, skins, and networks forum doesn't ever have 200 viewers.

Re: Response to El D\'s request for online user count by forum
 

so what am i looking at exactly? am i really to believe that the lounge ever had 123 viewers? or that bbv4l ever had only 1 viewer? i don't.

i must not know what the data means.

No, on some hours some of the data is shifted up 1 or 2 places...

While the individual data points aren't all accurate, here's what the totals look like...

Worth noting, the data is higher than that reported by big-boards, which is polling data from every page load...
