    Funny thing is it's already better than it was... first few days were shocking.

    If I could find my way around (My Forums!) and if there was a dark mode I'd be a lot happier!

    Dark mode is a must have.

    @Loughc - have you got your stats powers back yet??

    I'm nearly afraid to ask and I think we all know what way things have gone :(



  • Registered Users Posts: 10,033 ✭✭✭✭DvB


    yeah I'd say there's a big black hole right around the middle of July that we may struggle to extract ourselves from. I know we were well ahead for the year up to that point but between the downtime & clear drop off in posts since the site returned that could be eaten up quickly. Though you never know, as the kids go back to school & peoples heads start turning towards christmas the pick up in here may gather a decent pace yet (fingers crossed anyway)

    Exactly, lets hope this is just a speed bump and we are back motoring soon when the Christmas season kicks in, in earnest.

    Guess who's back.... back again.....



  • Registered Users Posts: 10,033 ✭✭✭✭DvB


    ooh... so has the new site started playing ball stats wise!?

    It's not 100% but it's probably 80% there. So we'll take it for now. It means the figures reported will be slightly under-stated.

    So picking up where we left off with July baring it mind we might be missing some posts.

    According to the new stats we ended up 16 posts behind last year. Which is amazing as we lost 8 full days of posting due to the platform changeover.

    We are 5,107 posts ahead of last year for the full year up to July.

    Our year total up to the end of July has surpassed all years from 2007-2018 individually.

    Our first day back to boards in July resulted in 70 posts that day, good going considering most of us didn't even know how to post on here.


    August is to follow.



  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 24,647 Mod ✭✭✭✭Loughc


    Wow, wow, wow. August was a mammoth month.

    I'm super proud of August as I think we all noticed the increase in number of posts in August. August ended up 213 posts ahead of last year. YTD we are now 5,320 posts ahead of last year.

    I'm so proud of this as this was all organic, no mid-month stats update to steer us, no forum games to play, just good old fashioned people wanting to chat Christmas. Including the first 3 days of September and we have broken the 10k posts mark for the year.



  • Registered Users Posts: 10,033 ✭✭✭✭DvB


    Whats the target for the year now? Be amazing if we topped all previous years given the changeover fiasco.

    I actually think this forum has recovered better than most on boards who all appear to still be slower than they were pre changeover. Thats all down to the great bunch of folk we have in here & the vibe of the place IMO.

    Including up to mid-month September we have 4.7k posts to get to to match last years total. We started some of our games/competitions last year in September so it's going to be hard press to come close to have we posted for Sept-Dec.

    We are currently 1.4k behind last year's September with half the month gone. We are guaranteed 2nd busiest year no matter what happens really. Which given the year and the state of the new site is amazing.

    Completely agree about this forum is the only one that bounced back while others are struggling and that is purely down to the sound people posting here. It's definitely more like a chat amongst friends no matter how often you post here or how new you are.

    On that note, the Elves in the house have Rudolph slippers that I am very jealous of. I keep meaning to look for an adult pair. Maybe this year is the year.



  • Registered Users Posts: 10,033 ✭✭✭✭DvB


    I want a moose head pair of slippers. The kids saw them last year & told me to get them to match the couple of moose christmas decorations we have & was raging I didn't pick them up in the end. If I see them this year, bam!!! in the bag & take my money!!

    Aye it’s been a strong September to date. This place has found its rhythm again after the platform changeover.
