CodeWalrus' milestones (06/12/16 - 40000 posts)

[alexgt]

Today the 19th of December 2015 Codewalr.us reached 400 members  ! I joined the community when CW was just starting and started posting a few months later. If it wasn't for CW I know I wouldn't be here typing this and I wanted to thank the staff here for making everyone feel welcomed . Let the walrus fly some more!

EDIT: and we passed 28000 posts

Oh really? That's cool

[alexgt]

Yeah, I can't wait to see where we will be in dec of 2016!

[xlibman]

2016 will be interesting. That's the year where we will see if the 84+CE is taking off like the CSE did and also we will have restructured a bit to look less calc-centric.

However, our 400 members count is kinda misleading, because most zero-post users are probably spambots that bypassed our spam filters, but failed to post. Other forums had the same thing happening (sometimes more if they had popular tools that required an account). What is more relevant is how many people are posting each day.

[alexgt]

Yeah, you see allot of 0 post accounts here https://codewalr.us/index.php?action=mlist but some people just make accounts so they can access certain things. Like on thingiverse I only have an account so I can use the customizer . But most are spambots .

[xlibman]

Yeah, on Cemetech, SourceCoder 1 and 2 required an account to edit code, although version 3 doesn't IIRC. And on TI-Planet you need an account to use the very popular school document generator. Also, when calc sites become very popular in terms of traffic (eg ranked first in Google), they also get a lot of members who joins to ask questions, but never come back afterward, so they have a lot more 1-5 posts accounts.

Yeah, I only have 6 posts on Omni and I made a cemtech account for source coder too, and when I was using the Nspire I made and account for the things on ti-planet. I am really only active here xD

[xlibman]

We now have 2 million page views. It seems like I missed the first one. I am curious about how many requests we got on CW server, though.

Also what is your nick on Omni?

[Snektron]

2 Million Thats quite a lot

[xlibman]

Not much considering that's what Omni got in a month once.

[alexgt]

my nick is the same as on Omni. But I joined to ask Axe questions and that was after you left.

[xlibman]

Ah ok, because I couldn't find your account there.

EDIT: Oops wrong topic meant to put it in post/coding milestones. Not exactly sure how to delete a post(cause now the post on the other milestone topic isn't my 175th post ); I would if i could.

[alexgt]

Awesome! and wow 1600 downloads! congrats!!!

EDIT: and we have 404 users as of 12/31/2015

[xlibman]

Wait, who got 1600 downloads? I am confused (Congrats to who did, though)

Also CW reached 30K posts yesterday.
