I can also reset post counts to zero

The secret of how DJ always has the most posts on a forum

WAIT. YOU THINK YOU CAN REPLACE MY AWESOMENESS WITH A NICKNAME? Think again Prince.

Kidding aside, my friend is actually pretty crazy, so he might spam more than me without every seeing me post in real time.

Well if he does that then I honestly don't think his account will last long

(unless he can control himself of course).

I could always replace nicknames in IRC

I used Un|corn when Unicorn used Unicorn|

and I usually say that it's me right after joining the channel

Unicorn · June 19, 2015, 09:52:01 PM

Yeah well, I am now Unicorn, so what now?

Update: I updated Tout-82 (the original site) stats because I discovered that the board actually started in 2004, not 2006, so I had to split many posts from the 2006 stats.

Also added the amount of boards with 100 posts and higher per year. Pretty sad stats if you ask me, but the good thing is that the community is once again concentrated on larger sites as opposed to 29 different small forums now.

Forums under 100 posts also now have dark blue-gray numbers, while forums with 0 posts are in light blue, to make it easier to find stats of forums with 100 posts or higher.

TODO:
-Add Technicalc forums there

The 2015 statistics have now been updated to include posts from May 30th until now. TI-Planet actually leads June for monthly posts (they had over 3000 since May 30

).

Snektron · June 26, 2015, 02:47:32 PM

Cool! I don't know how you get these stats, but it would be cool if you could make some sort of script that gets the post count on each forum

alexgt · June 26, 2015, 02:49:46 PM

Go Ti-Planet!

I am also curios of how you get these stats?!

Dream of Omnimaga · June 26, 2015, 04:41:53 PM

For large sites, I just check the last post ID. I have the first post ID of 2015 written down for most boards. For smaller sites (those with like 1 post a week or less), I just count them one by one.

alexgt · June 26, 2015, 06:10:47 PM

Oh, that is a good way to do it

Dream of Omnimaga · June 26, 2015, 09:32:55 PM

Indeed. The only issue is with forums that are literally invaded by spambots. Most of the time, sites get like 1 spam post out of 20 when they're less active, so it doesn't mess up the stats much, but in the case of Ticalcs.net and Alvasoft, during their last years when they were still active, about 99% of the posts were spam, so I was forced to find legit ones and count them one by one. >.<

Also I better keep up with yAronet posts more, now, if I decide to continue updating this activity chart in the future, because yN no longer displays the total post count of forums now. >.<
