For perspective I created the forum on the 12th of January on 2015 and started inviting the first few members so those 8 people including myself were just creating the place that first 20 days.

Remember that during this time of year EST that days for the analytics begin and end at 7:00PM EST.I just jumped on briefly to do stats, I find it relaxing - I know that is pretty weird. Or weirdly pretty. Nonetheless, I find it remarkable that you did all this work on the sort of day I would just crawl back to bed and read comic books. Exalt you.

Such hard work, it takes me about five minutes and is mostly copy and paste. When I crawled back in bed I went to sleep (which is where I am heading now). Thank you!

February and March are looking good. Also 90 posters have 20 or more posts. Closing in on 100 with 20 or more. That is a milestone in my view. 153 out of 227 have posted at least once or 67.4% have posted at least once. 44 out of 227 have 100 or more posts for 19.4% which is also pretty good IMO.

I had hoped that April would improve on March, but I had not counted on not being very involved either. I received a pm this morning, and I am home for about another hour since my wife is in dialysis this morning. The pm said I should encourage myself by redoing the comparisons that I did last year. He said that I would see something that explains a lot. They also reminded me that I said this:
On June 3rd, 2017 at 10:02 AM EDT we reached a milestone of 1,000,000 page views with bots and spiders filtered out. and that if we have a good month page view wise we can hit 2,000,000 page views this month or at least very close to June 3rd one year later. So that would be cool if we double our page views in one year.
The pm also suggested that I update some comparisons with other forums. Since he sent me the info I will do what I can here in a few minutes. Remember copy/paste is your friend.

He is right, I am encouraged by looking at the numbers and he is also right, it does explain a lot. Apparently others outside the forum are looking at our numbers way more than I am. robkuntz , I guess the "little bubble" community is doing alright for itself.

Post by Hexenritter Verlag on May 4, 2018 13:08:45 GMT -5
Wow, so awesome. This community might be small but we can pull our own. I am a member of four of the listed forums & this is the forum I most in most frequently. As Jakob mentioned I was banned from odd74, likely for mere open association here & I think I was purged from the Alehouse for not posting. I do like the Comeback inn, but since it is focused on Blackmoor & I have drifted back to my own home-brews; I haven't felt the urge to post there. In Dragonsfoot I feel lost, way too much traffic & I only post on a few subforums there when I do. I need to visit the Piazza again asap.
BTW Exalt to TPD.

So that would be cool if we double our page views in one year.
The pm also suggested that I update some comparisons with other forums. Since he sent me the info I will do what I can here in a few minutes. Remember copy/paste is your friend.

He is right, I am encouraged by looking at the numbers and he is also right, it does explain a lot. Apparently others outside the forum are looking at our numbers way more than I am. robkuntz , I guess the "little bubble" community is doing alright for itself.
Good news! Hmm. Why the massive bannings at OD&D Discussion??

That's a very good question! Especially since there was nothing about it over there. I distrust "stealth banning."

Wow, 4 times the number of posts as ODD74 over the same time period with a lot fewer posters. Congrats to all of us. But we look a bit slow this month, so let's crank it up!!

That's a very good question! Especially since there was nothing about it over there. I distrust "stealth banning." I actually stopped posting over at Dragonsfoot after the sjw there were giving Frank Mentzer all the grief last year. I didn't believe the sjw's unfounded, and unverifiable charges, and it was one of the first corporate sponsored leftist attacks on Independent Gamer Publishers that I have seen, a disturbing trend that appears to not be slowing down even now.
Pretty sure there is some relation to that breakdown and the 0D&D bannings (which was probably just the mods over there icing all of the sjw spying and sock puppet accounts).

I don't know what is going on at either place, but even before all the drama, you could not have paid me to join either site. I have zero confidence that I would be treated even 1/10 as good as I am treated here, in fact, I am confident that I would not be treated well at either place. I lurked for quite a while before I joined here. I won't join anywhere that I would be afraid to speak out. And I've seen what happens to people who speak out at both sites.
