Pie chart of forum popularity

[Nifft]

Cool chart.

If your goal is to normalize traffic, a good split might be:
- RPG / General
- Not D&D / Rules
- 4e / General
- 4e / Rules
- 3e(+older) / General
- 3e(+older) / Rules

... rather than having House Rules in their own unused forums, and General all mixed into RPG/General.

There's a Media Lounge?



Cool!



I'll have my pie and coffeee in the Media Lounge, please.

i am curious about the posting traffic.

It used to be a few years ago (pre 4e) that the general RPG discussion was pretty busy, such that a new boring post would float off the 1st page in a few hours or so. Nowadays, it seems like it'll slowly drift down, over the course of a day.

it's like the volume of new threads/active threads has decreased.

If that is your pie chart......




......does that make you the orc?

Of course, with the sort of traffic EN World gets (~1,300 users at the moment), those percentages mean that even the slow forums have one or two dozen people browsing them at any given time.


I'd be curious to see posting rates for the different forums.

The number of forums has increased, spreading the traffic across them.

This is a pie chart of my favourite bars... and a bar graph of my favourite pies....

I don't as a rule check out the Off-Topic forum, but I figured it would have a larger slice of the pie. Aren't people doing the Hive thing still?

That's 3 people and 50 sock puppets, isn't it?

Sadly that was pretty much was the case about a year ago...

Now a days the Hive is slower than it was, but now it is real people talking to each other, not made up personas.

I'd wager a gold piece or two that the Story Hour forum sees a bit more traffic during a week when Sepulchrave II posts an update.

Hint, hint.
