Christmas Forum Stats Updates

the increase in post for december is particularly impressive given most posters log off when work finishes on the 21st and wouldn't log on regularly again until January. To see it so close to November when we're at peak build up is what stands out to me.

Maybe i wasn't the only one to carry on posting via my phone during the holiday, normally i'd not bother & catch up in Jan when back in work but this year kept checking in at quiet moments... that or folk where just mad for christmas in the first 3 weeks of December...

I think it's fitting of it's own thread, the final peek behind the curtain for 2019.

And the ultimate reveal, the stats for 2019 in it's entirety. As you can see we ended up the year with a fantastic 10,610 posts.



Can we better it in 2020? How can we continue to grow the community? Is 11k our target for 2020 now :eek: :P :pac:

I think 11k is too small based on those figures and increase in popularity. I’d aim for 15k.

Thanks for the update boss. Great to see things going from strength to strength. Its a great community here and one that I am delight to have taken the plunge and activity joined in.

I took a general online/ social media hiatus from about the 20th till this morning as realised was spending too much time with my head stuck in my phone. Is great to be back though

It's great to have you back, it's nice to have a social media detox every now and then

Thanks. Genuinely did missing chatting to you guys however was also nice to get away from phone/ipad/laptop for a few days.

I actually spent 99% of my online activity over the break on here, as much as I like it in here thats sad old man territory so have decided to limit my time on the tinterweb & will be trying to put the phone away a lot more in the future. I spend way too much of my free time on it & for my own wellbeing need to back away a bit more.

Whats seldom is wonderful after all!

Was something that the bester half and I were chatting about on New Years eve. She spends too much time on Instagram and me on Twitter, not posting or anything just following others. So we both decided to cut back and try to do when we are alone, i.e. I check twitter for 10 mins on the train and then book out.

I do most of my posting on here during work time (shhh don't tell the boss:)) so rarely be on in the evening and weekend which I see as family time, either with the kids or me and the missus.

Similar to myself. I dont post much on twitter these days & tend to use it for sports & news mostly. I pretty much ignore FB & really should just go & delete my account. Instagram is used for putting up family pics only & I only allow family access (family living abroad etc) anyway. So as I said its mostly posting here in this forum in terms of interacting :eek:

Either way will be cutting back in the evenings from now on. If nothing else it might help me sleep better too!

That could be me posting that!! Only difference is neither wife or I have a Facebook account.

IIRC we usually keep a decent total for January what with us still winding down from the festivities. Assume it drops off for the summer, but was wondering when do we usually start seeing a dramatic drop off and a below average monthly total?
