This study is ongoing. You keep posting, and I'll keep geting the stats for a week or two, twice a week.

Give yourself a BIG round of an applause. DigitalPoint has the smallest numbers, but as you can see, it's growing FAST!!! It won't be long before Digital Point is #1 in stats. In my book it's all ready #1, and if you don't think it is, you need a big fat .


This message paid for by da National Association for the Advancement of Wackos. I'm King of da Wackos and I approve of this message, and you should to!

 

Interesting. I've noticed that the board really goes wild when I'm not online - which is usually in the middle of the night. I can't keep up with the day shift's posts

WMW is a ginormous PITA IMO (wow, 3 acronyms in one sentence). Gotta Log-in to try and see threads and then you can't see some of those unless you pay. Can't post about google without waiting for your post to be reviewed, etc.

I think this board has the best combo of Good SEO Discussion + Good Technical Discussion + Free Tools + Responsible Moderation + fun off topic stuff

Plus it's fast.

 

well I feel that DP is much more an addition to my forum lists then sitepoint or webmasterworld. I am on all three boards, but sitepoint only the marketplace is of my interested, and dp I am looking at everything so...

 

yep, time for a subscription based service, VIP area, smug attitudes and belittling anyone we disagree with

 

no not paying for membership!!! :O

 

I've never even heard of ABestWeb...

You should also compute avg posts/member... and, although this would be difficult, I wonder about the ratio of serious (webmaster) posts to "chat" posts. I suspect this forum is on the high side for the latter...

 

Great idea! I'll add that in on the next update, due early Monday morning.

nice domain Nintendo !!, sometimes you juz gotta love the internet

 

Congrats to DP. That's coolio.



That's the way uh huh uh huh, I like it, uh huh uh huh.

 

bring it on Mella: Go Mella Go Mella! woo!

 

Here's the numbers. Digitalpoint wins on two out of three of them!!


Average number of posts per member who has posted atleast once.

Digital Point: 3,799 active members = 66 posts per active member
SitePoint: 43,693 active members = 46 posts per active member
ABestWeb doesn't have the members list.

Average number of posts per member counting the members that registered and never posted.

Digitalpoint: 31
SitePoint: 25
ABestWeb: 20

Percent of members who register and postes atleast once. (This doesn't count members who have only posted on a board that doesn't have post count, ie Off-Topic at that other place.)

SitePoint: 54%
Digitalpoint: 47%

Members prunning (Deleting 0 posts members) can mess these numbers up, making it look like more members post that actually did.

 

Ive tired them all and I have to aggree with the others the content is a much better mix and not all the snobs like at some forums

 

Now see if you can figure out a way to separate out the General Chat posts from the rest...

 

LOL!!! The only way to do that is get the mySQL database of each vBulletin site and prune all 'Off-Topic' boards and update the counters, including the member post count!!!!! And no one in there right mind would give me there database!!! Shawn, want to give me the DP database!!! *Shawn: I don't think so!!!* But the passwords are encrypted!!!

INSERT INTO user VALUES (1,6,'',6,'Nintendo','d73fec3158hfJdb0657a571gfg6d664119b41','2005-05-16','pokemon**SPAM**pioneer-net.com',0,
'pokemon@pioneer-net.com','','','','',0,'Administrator',0,1085083200,0,1119133188,1119155343,1119037460,

Which is something you could also do for the other forums to equalize the comparison.

 

LOL!! Now WHY didn't I think of that!!! *Some one says: I can take a wild guess.*

Total Posts (14 hours ago)/Off-Topic Posts (Now)= ##% Off-Topic
ABestWeb: 416,249/133,044 = 31%
DigitalPoint: 252,206/67,944 = 26%
SitePoint: 2,028,358/304,894 = 15%
WebmasterWorld 1,655,352/127,740 = 7% (I always noticed the Off-Topic area was sort of dead!)

 

lol nice stats

you have to much time on your hands if you can come up with that info
