September 2010 Stats

September was sort of an odd month. It had a big burst of activity at the beginning, another big burst at the end, and then one of the slowest periods in a long time in between. But overall, it was a steady month with the majority of activity occurring in the literary forums, which is somewhat unusual.

Both Prague and New Delhi almost made it into the top 10, but just barely missed out.

Once again nice to see the stats. I think it is really strange about the most viewed pages, because for some reason I always think that a lot of people visit the community forums like me. One thing I was wondering is if you could post how many times people visit the chat room?

Yay! a Canadian city finally got into the Top 10!

YAYAYAYAY

I contributed to those reviews. THat makes me feel super special.

Yay stats!

*is out to get the Czechs and the Irish*

The Irish are going down . For which I am partly responsible, but HA. Finland didn't even get on the charts. Seriously though, Czechs- who are you?! I met one of you, but I can't even remember who that was.

Yay! Down with IE! Also, I think you should just start grouping up all of freaking Africa, so we can have a sporting chance You can make the countries cities.
Ah well. Hey Nate, could you tell us who's responsible for the most posts on the site, or who's on longest? You know, with their consent and stuff.

TheNewHero ->> Every now and then, South Africa does manage to crack the top 10 countries and Johannesburg has shown up in the top 10 cities a couple times. Currently, South Africa is #13 (tied with Singapore and Sweden). Egypt and Botswana also show up in the top 50 countries (#27 and #38 respectively). As a whole, Africa comes ahead of South America and Antarctica.

The person with the most posts is Snoink. As for who's on longest, do you mean who spends the most amount of time on YWS? Cumulatively over six years, that's probably me. But in any given month or on any given day, I have no idea. That kind of stuff isn't tracked.


Day ->> It's hard to keep track of activity in the chat-room. According to Google Analytics, it's the tenth most visited part of the site (after community, storybooks, and private messages), but I doubt that. One reason I doubt it is because Analytics also says that the average amount of time spent in chat is 4 min 30 seconds, which I'm almost positive is false. So I think it's double or triple counting a lot of the visits to the chat room.

Whoo! Way to represent! Even though I'm not in Portland...I'm still Oregonian, and proud!

Seriously. Yes and Darnit! Also let me say that I never knew about the Notifications page before I saw it on August's stats. It should probably be on the little black thing on my homepage, more accessible. Anyway, I think you've inspired me with a new debate: the possible habitation of Antarctica - after all, we have to live there (and I mean in full, not just outposts) before we can live on Gliesie 581g (An exoplanet highly probable to support life)! And not villages - cities!

Also, I figured Snoink would be the most posts person. But one day I shall upseat her. And let me just that you Americans are lucky. You've managed to blow up the whole state thing because of your diversity - I can't mimic an 'American' accent. Funnily enough, you guys have one capital, we have three and two states put together are bigger than us, if not one population wise.

Finally, do you think it's fair to include the homepage? I mean do you count them by time or just by visits? And I wonder just how it only got 11% - if it was me it would be like 100%

You'd be surprised how many people enter the site from outside the homepage. I was one of them for awhile. (Auto-bookmarked my profile on another computer). So depending on the person, they might be entering someplace else.

Okay, now I really need to know. All the Czechs, say Aye.
(New Delhi, almost made it? Woah! So far, I know of Shubhi. That's all.)

And we really need someone from Antarctica.

Ha! Look at Australia represent! Hell yes. Canada may have taken our usual 3rd spot as country, but our cities are dominating! Take that YWS. You take it good.

Yeah! 3 countries from Australia on the list. We are awesome. -high fives Jiggity-
