Some stats

Yo all,
some stats today since I was checking the database anyway and there seemed to be some interest. You've all done some serious damage the past years!

Some stats of today:

- 313,287 comments
- and that's not counting the about 10,000 (!) that the moderators have had to delete (come on guys!)
- on over 25,000 posts
- from over 16,000 signed-up users
- who have made 2,359 friends,
- and a few hundred people on the ignore lists
- all this generating about 25,000 pageviews a day
- from about 5,000 different people a day
- spending about 6 minutes on average on the site

Im new so I have no idea :D but i think i can figure it out.

Dan says on Feb 1, 2008, 13:48:

Is this since the start or just this past year?
Looks like we're all doing pretty good here.

God Bless America!

- all this generating about 25,000 pageviews a day
- from about 5,000 different people a day
- spending about 6 minutes on average on the site

Does this mean that the average visitor checks in 5 times during the day, for an average 6 minute visit? Or looks at five different "pages" within the site, totaling a 6 minute viewing?

This stuff intrigues me.....

ColombianoGringo says on Feb 1, 2008, 14:20:

Peter,

Are those 10,000 individually deleted comments or does that include every comment in deleted threads?

podborski says on Feb 1, 2008, 14:25:

Peter, how many comments when you subtract la mona's? And have you thought of sending out a search party for her?

CatGirl says on Feb 1, 2008, 14:32:

Whoa...you guys are serious about your numbers.jaja

It is interesting that so many twisted people are attracted to this site.

billyb says on Feb 1, 2008, 19:12:

Well let's move it to the 'off topic'' and add a few hundred posts to Peter's total. I wonder, shouldn't we deserve a commision from Peter's advertising revenue???? You know, something like a penny per post. Patico, that might pay for our trip to Monteria.

And have 20 questions chats every night without creating a 300 comment post? Right eywed?

Eywed: Keeep me posted jjaja.

So you all want a chat room huh? What do you think would happen if a troll got loose (only speculation)? Although I could use a different example, since I am a lady I will say this:
Would it be like throwing a marshmallow in the clothes dryer? (replace marshmallow).

Maybe there should be more clearance for participation in a chat room? If that ever occurred of course....

In a chatroom trolls would be eliminated by natural selection.

That for some reason sounds more like a cat fight instead of a chat room jajaja what a visual!

jajaja Eywed...what are you talking about? Would I "dare enter". If I recall aren't you the guy that believes in mutual respect? Or have you got another side you didn't share when the FBI was interrogating you the other night..jaja.
What's up? Am I missing something here...it almost sounds like some members have a few bones to pick.

Eywed: I think your comment came up after I answered GS - Now what you describe sounds a bit different. So how could we do 20 questions and talk X rated while a brawl is going on? jijiji

Yeah...maybe GS has a point. That could be done PM - correct? Either way, I am only guessing what a prepago is, but I have a feeling... a strong feeling I wont be asking about those types of things on this board - LOL
