Sniper's Unofficial 2+2 Post Count Analysis

[goofball]

Clearly the most successful new forums come as 'fixes.' Posts of one type or another crowding up forums are the clearest display of a demand for a new forum.

Poliltics, Sports, BBV, and Televised Poker POG are the best examples

i support a food and drink forum. also a live poker forum offshoot.

And to put the cat among the pigeons, I'm thinking many small forums for 'The Lounges', not a few big ones.

I'm thinking:

Movies
TV
Music
Literature and Writing
Video Games
Arts
Hobbies and Pastimes
Travel and Trip Reports
News
Culture and History
Business (maybe, not sure about this)
Technology + The Future
X-Files (eg aliens, conspiracy theories etc)
Relationships, Sex and Dating (very strictly modded)
Fashion and Style
Food and Drink
Cars, Bikes, Boats etc (stuff with engines)

Gee, I was amazed to see POG as number 2 even though I've only been there once (or could it be because I've only been there once). And I'm a guy who got the infamous Monty Hall problem right the first time. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Anyway, was over here to plead for more space in my PM Inbox and Outbox and couldn't help but look at this.

BBV did not rise to the challenge

If the trend continues, it is only a matter of time...

October '06 Avg Post Count/Day - Sorted by Oct Posts/Day (descending)...
(including overall Avg Posts/Thread; and 2Q/Jul/Aug/Sept Posts/Day for comparison)

558 posts/day and #7 for sports, both the 2nd highest numbers we've gotten, gotta love football season.

Dynasty is probably disappointed the magazine didn't overtake Other Gambling like he had hoped. Thats just lack of effort. Cmon Dynasty you can make at least 8 posts/day in that forum yourself. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

October comments:

1. BBV continues its upward trend, closing in on OOT.. at current pace, it has a good shot of passing OOT in November... we'll see.

2. Small stakes NL + Micro NL = 1360 posts/day... great job at using this split to further increase traffic.

3. The legislation issue has had a positive effect on many forums... Legislation, The Zoo, A/R, Poker Skins, Finance, Making Money, & Politics all showed large % increases in posting traffic.

4. As Meb pointed out, Sporting events had a nice jump this month, as well.

5. Heads Up more than doubled its traffic this month... well done.

6. Televised Poker had the largest % drop

7. Dynasty, The Mag is no longer in last place, thanks to the new sponsored forums [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Sniper,

Thanks. Interesting. Why are the fonts for the forums in different colors?

Also, it appears that BBV is going to overtake OOT very soon. Pity. I blame NT! for driving people from his forum to that one. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
