End of Month Stats for August 2012
« on: September 04, 2012, 09:58:52 pm »
This month ended on Labor Day weekend here in the U.S. so we had another month with a slight lag in updates. But we're back and here we go with more stats! This month we broke a new users total milestone!


Users

This month we broke the 5,000 users mark! Of course, if you've frequented the forums in the last few weeks, you may have noticed a multitude of spam happening, and many of this number and probably dirtball spambots, which takes some of the sweetness away from this milestone.

  • Total Registered Users: 5009
  • New Users: 347
  • Daily Average: 11

Items

This month was slightly slower than July was, but we've still added 833 new items to the database, bringing us passed the 28,000 items mark to a new total of 28,727. We also saw 2,702 edits to existing items!

  • Total Items in Database: 28,727
  • New Items: 833
  • Daily Average: 27
  • Edits: 2702
  • Daily Average Edits: 87

Collections

This month we saw 15,717 items added to user's collections, bringing the grand total for items listed in collections up to 231,544! Members added 830 items to their wishlists and 232 items to their sell lists.

  • Total Items in Collections: 231,544
  • Total Added to Collections: 15,717
  • Daily Average: 507
  • Total Items in Wishlists: 12,137
  • Total Added to Wishlists: 830
  • Daily Average Added to Wishlists: 27
  • Items For Sale/ Trade: 1114
  • Total Added to Sell List: 232
  • Daily Average Added to Sell List: 7

That's it for this month, thanks to everyone for using the site and keeping things up to date. Keep up the good work folks!

Great month everyone. I'm constantly amazed at the # of games in collections. 5000 members is a huge accomplishment too. We are working hard to tackle the spam problem and are putting a few solutions in place.

Heh I was just poking Disgaeniac ... but in all seriousness, there is spam for every language. Some of the ones we used to get on one of my other forums were symbols I had never seen before. We just happened to get lucky to get Russian. And if we get any more of the "good" ones, I wouldnt mind if you sent them to my inbox before you delete them!

On my own blog (that I never advertise and will continue so), most of the spam is russian. I think it's pretty normal.

Quick question:

How do these stats work regarding "# of games added"?

I mean, if, say, there is 1 game added...and then 1 dupe deleted...do they 'cancel each other out?

If not - wouldn't this artificially inflate our monthly number of additions?

Just curious...

Is there anyway to find out which game/item appears in the most collections?

I think Scott just looks at the total from the end of the last month and compares it to the total from the end of this month so this wouldn't account for dupes. I don't think that dupes are THAT big a deal where we go from 1000 new entries to 500.

@jcalder8:

I think that you're probably right about there not being thousands of dupes deleted monthly, but, the "duplicate-listings" thread *DOES* get A LOT of action & use.

So, buy comparing the end of this month's totals to the total from the previous month is, in effect, counting every dupe as another game.

Maybe simply adding another new stat like:  "Dupes Deleted" would make for a more accurate monthly reflection...
