Thanks for gathering these statistics for our interest, Sniper. What criteria do you use to produce the "Avg P/T" figure? [/ QUOTE ] Thx Mike. Avg P/T is: For each forum, Total Posts / Total Threads , on forumserver

Awesome to see sports continue to dominate last year's numbers.
I expect student life will continue to see a low post count throughout the summer and pick up again in the fall, as most of the posts are school related.

These post counts are cool, but as has been discussed they are flawed in some ways. The view counts was also a good idea, and while it does give different info it is also flawed. Assuming no limitations, what do people think the best overall stat in determining a forum's popularity would be? Number of unique visitors per day?

Are you measuring how many people are active in a forum's community? Are you measuring how many lurkers there are, regardless of the number? Do you want to combine the two with some form of weighting? A true measurement here may require more than hourly or daily reads. Checking how many registered accounts check each forum on every visit could be enlightening.

[/ QUOTE ] MEb, I don't think its correct to say that the data is flawed. Post counts (gathered over about a year and half) and view counts (once we see good data collected over a reasonable time period) are useful in providing information about usage of 2+2. Certainly if we had access to "unique visitors by forum" data, it would also provide useful information. But, as Neil pointed out, the real issue is in defining what you mean by popularity. Post Counts represent Posting Popularity. View Counts represent Avg Viewing Popularity. Unique Visitors represents Unique Visitor Popularity. # of members represents Membership Popularity. Just to give you an idea, 2+2 is ranked on big-boards (out of almost 2,000 forums tracked): #63 by posts #429 by members #38 in posts last week #430 on post per member ratio #17 in unique daily visitors #8 in daily page views #13 in avg users online #13 in max online users #107 by Alexa ranking So which is the most important in defining 2+2's popularity among the tracked forums?
