[QUOTE="El Mahdi, post: 6743025, member: 59506"] Statistics? No. General feedback? Yes Compiling those kind of statistics from over 4,000 posts - data that would require in-depth reading of every single post, and a lot of "reading between the lines" - would take an impossibly prohibitive amount of time. I have however, gained a general sense of things from the feedback. I happened to know the number participants because I made a list of everyone that's contributed to the threads in the Temporary Warlord Forum (plus one other thread that I found from 2013). I made the list so I could send out mentions/invitations after I post a working beta version of the project and start a final poll/feedback thread. I don't have statistics on each poster, but I can say that the majority have posted multiple times, and the ones doing the major posting probably number somewhere between 50 and 100. There's at least 270 unique contributors to the threads in the Temporary Warlord Forum (including myself). I say "at least" because it's very possible I may have missed a few. There's 274 unique contributors if you also count moderation...:p However, I have no way of knowing if any of these are multiple accounts of the same user (sock puppets).
