Christmas Forum Stats Updates

As it stands we are not too far behind the number of posts for the full month of March 19, it seems in the craziest of times we really need Christmas cheer more than ever!

Reckon we'll smash those figures this month, especially if a large amount of regulars are stuck at home.

Also once the novelty of the current situation starts to wear off, I think people will be back posting on a broader range of topics.

True. It seems everything else in the world has stopped with little else being discussed.

So LoughC, how did we end up for posts in March?
I'm craving a stats update

Sorry man busy day at the home office and real office!!

I will get to it first thing Monday

Ah here, no rush at all, just curious is all, enjoy the weekend!!

So March 2020 ended up with 74 posts more than March 2019

Q1 20 is now 270 posts ahead of Q1 19.

Up but considering what's happening that makes sense why March was such a hit.

Thanks Loughc; great to hear

Interestingly April 19 was our quietest month last year, early posts indications I can see April 20 surpassing April 19 easily and it may not even be the quietest month this year.

I imagine once lockdown is over we'll all be fleeing from the laptops, tablets and phones!

Think April will look after itself so May make a serious move up the league table in fact.

Have to admit with WFH I've been popping in to the older threads a good bit again as I always said they're a great cheer up tool. Got some real good laughs & bangs of nostalgia reading back through the old stuff. I know its only April but last Christmas feels so long ago now that I'm having no problems revisiting the ghosts of Christmas past!

Though agree the forum is clearly the quietest its been in a long time.

Yep, more surprised when there is a new post when I check these days then when there isn't!

I check in here regularly, I find reading back over old threads quite therapeutic when my heads in need of some 'calm'

I can never quite muster the will to listen to christmas music or watch christmas films out of season but love reading back over posts from previous years & seeing the build up gather excitement etc. Its brilliant to have that to fall back on.

Being a nostalgic old sod I love this forum.:)

We are now 302 posts up on last year for the 1st 4 months of the year.

over 300 posts up, wow! 2020 has the makings of a bumper year so.

We'll have to see, we all could be massively fatigued by the end of this year.

It's also important to point out last year May had 125 posts more than April last year. As it stands we are already well behind for May. I have no idea why May last year was so popular, April and June were quiet but that's expected.

I'd be hopeful we'll be excited for christmas come the end of the year as the rest of it will have been such a disappointment. But yeah, a lot can change in a short time, as we have all seen in the last 6 or 7 weeks.

May does seem quieter so far to be fair. As I'm up at my desk at home I dont have to set an example to others with respect to internet usage during work hours so pop in here every day, and its clearly eased off in terms of volume of posts.

Great to see a stats update though, I had only been thinking about it earlier today too.

So hows the merry month of May go for us here at the Christmas forum LoughC?
I'd be amazed if we were anything other than down on preivous years, seemed v.quiet in here for long spells last month.

While I agree it has seemed v quiet lets hope for some inverted logic where there was actually more posts then last year even though it seemed quieter!

We've been on such a good run of late........
