We have added some trend stats to the message board home page.

They way it "should" work is it compares month-to-date. So, for today as an example - it's looking at how many members have joined so far this month, compared to the average that have had joined in the past 24 months.

Interesting. Robert, how do you differentiate between members and active members?

This is not sarcastic...it is just a learning curve on my behalf. I wonder what the statistics would be useful for.

1) it is just curiosity for members to view..it seems
2) it seems that it could be used to show capacity,and volume, as in a sales pitch to attract advertisers.
3) it is a tool for the web site developer to tweak the site, based on what the"feedback" from the numbers are...but it seems it would need to be viewed by the participatnts for that .

I think it runs like a meter because the new members % has changed three times since yesterday ;)

ok makes sense....over 7K this month....

but , a month is dynamic....

so will the beginning of the month be a small % and then the percentage increases, as the month goes by. Until you have reached the full month

OR

is it the LAST 30 days....each day.

seems it always be about the same....each new day would have little effect on the previous 29.

just asking out loud...

It seems to be keeping a running total. If you look at Robert's post and compare it to the front page right now you'll see changes since he posted.

Right now for this month

Turned them off, with 1000+ simultaneous users, they eat up a lot of resources.
Will add them back when we clean up the code a little.
