[CHARTS] Brief monthly overview of the local boards activity

[fillippone]

Thank you @Rikafip, for this work.
I am going to add your graph for my review.

Positive note: The Italian board is ranking up the ladder, and as you correctly stated, we are back where we belong—where we failed to sit for a long time!
Negative note: maybe it's a little early in the cycle, as forum activity didn't pick up as expected!

Thank you @Rikafip, for this work.
I am going to add your graph for my review.

You already made one? How did I miss that? Meh, I was happy that I finally beat you, just to find out I wasn't even close.

Positive note: The Italian board is ranking up the ladder, and as you correctly stated, we are back where we belong—where we failed to sit for a long time!

I remmber the times when Croatian board was not far away from yours (some months even beating you, iirc)  and look at the difference now. Kudos to you guys for keeping it alive and kicking!

Negative note: maybe it's a little early in the cycle, as forum activity didn't pick up as expected!

The best is yet to come so I think there's still time to see some old names back and hopefully some new ones as well.

[bitmover]

Thanks Rikafip for the update

I just updated locals boards race once again (I failed to update it in september, as I was traveling.)

Now, here you go, updated until october 2024

It really seems like it was a very different cycle from the others.
Forum activity has not had any significant changes, as is usually the case. Not even transaction fees had an unusual increase, as is also normally the case.

So, we are facing a new version of the cycle.

[PX-Z]

Congrats, good job and thanks to our top posters in Philippines local board. It's good to be always part for most top posts in locals but merits are always rare to pass on the board, we need to keep up

I just updated locals boards race once again (I failed to update it in september, as I was traveling.)
Now, here you go, updated until october 2024

Damn, I just realized that I forghot to update the ovevriew with your animated chart. Anyway, its been sorted now and thanks once again.

Forum activity has not had any significant changes,

My local board is a little bit more active lately so I hope those are little signs that other local boards (and forum in general) will have increase as well.

You local finally board looks a little bit better when it comes to merit so keep it up.

[joker_josue]

Forum activity has not had any significant changes,

My local board is a little bit more active lately so I hope those are little signs that other local boards (and forum in general) will have increase as well.

Also, we have to take into account that these numbers are from October, and Bitcoin's peak was in November.
Perhaps the November numbers show things a little differently.

[Rikafip]

Time for yet another brief monthly overview of the local boards activity, but this time a little bit ealrier than usual. Chart fans should think of it as an early Christmas present.   All charts and table are made using data from @DdmrDdmr Merit Dashboard and @TryNinja Ninjastic.space.Thanks guys for your awesome tools!

Communities marked with * (Pakistan, Bangladesh) don't have their own local boards. Since its Christmas time, maybe theymos/Cyrus finally (whoever is in charge) add at least one more local board, like he did for Nigerians 2 years ago.


Post activity per local board during November 2024

During the last month, 13572 posts were written across 18 local boards which is almost as same during October (13581). Consdering the situation on the market I expected increase, but it is what it is.

Russian local board has naturally been by far the most active one, with Turkish remaining at the 2nd spot. After some time German managed to reach 3rd spot, Portuguese climbed up to 4th while Nigerian dropped from 3rd during October to 5th.

Regarding the bottom part of the chart, its pretty much the same as month before: Greek, Polish, Romanian, Indian and this time Bengali joined them, which is not good as they are still trying to get their own local board and decrease certainly won't help them.

Active members per local board during November 2024

1332 forum members wrote at least one post on one of the local boards, which is a solid increase compared to month before (1292), especially considering the fact that number of posts remained pretty much the same.

Russian local board is leader here as well, with 429 active members, followed by Nigerian and German local boards, while the usual names at the bottom (Greek, Romanian and Polish) had very similar numbers compared to month before. With Bitcoin reaching new ATH, hopefully situation improves in the next monthly overview.

Local board members per amount of posts during November 2024

When it comes to the members who wrote only 1 post, Greek is the leader with exactly 50% such members, followed by German (39%) and Indian (33%) local boards. At the same time, Pilipinas only had 16%, followed by Pakistan (17%) and Portuguese (18%) local boards, while Romanian and Polish didn't have members who wrote only 1 post during November.

In the 2-9 posts bracket leader is Bengali who had 63% of such members active in their local, followed by French (55%) and Pilipinas (54%) locals. In that bracket, Pakistan had the lowest pervcetage of such members (33%). followed by Italian (36%) and Turkish (37%) local boards.

In the 10+ posts bracket, leaders are Polish and Romanian boards with 57% of those members, followed by Pakistan at 50%. In the same bracket, Bengali had only 10% of suich members, followed by Indian and French local boards that both had 17% of those members.

Merit shared per local board during November 2024

When it comes to merit shared in the above mentioned period, situation looks much better than before, at least looking from total number of merit shared perspective. During November 6116 merit was shared across 18 locals, which is a big increase compared to October (5207).

Once again leader is Russian local with 1431 merit, but this time German board came very close to them with their 1400 merit while Nigerian was left far behind at the 3rd spot. I don't know what hapepned last month in German board, but their number went up 300% compared to October (from 350 to 1400) and they mostly responsible to this big overall increase of the number of merit shared.

Merit/Post ratio per local board during November 2024

The merit per post average for all local boards during November was 0.45 which is an (expected) increase compared to October's 0.38.

After being 2nd last month, this time Romanian is at the top with very high 1.4 merit per post, followed by Arabic and German locals, while on the bottom we have Pilipinas with a very low 0.09 merit per post and Portuguese with 0.15 ain't much better either.

Merit senders and receivers per local board during November 2024

In the above mentioned period 491 members sent merit while 587 received which is an increase compared to October (456/502). Since number of merit shared went up by ~17%, this increase expected.

Percentage of merited posts across local boards during November 2024

After the October's very high 45%, Romanian board managed to even higher percebtage of merited post in November, 67%. To have such a high percentage, boards usually have to be less active, and Romanian is exactly that with 46 posts written in that time period. Nevertheless, kudos to you! At the same time, Pilipinas board had only ~6% of merited posts which is probably on par with Off Topic and similar low quality parts of the forum.

Merit per transaction across local boards during November 2024

An average merit per trasnaction across local boards (excluding Pakistan and Bengali as I don't have that data for them) during November has been exactly 2 and is an increase compared to October's 1.7. Considering their huge 300% increase of merit shared, no wonder that German board dominates this chart, followed by Spanish and Arabic boards that traditionally have high merit per tx.

The most active members per local board during November 2024

Last but not the least, top 10 most active members per local board. Bits.media from Russian local is once again the most active one with 240 posts, Portiguese member joker_josue is 2nd with 205 posts while another Russian member Julien_Olynpic is at the 3rd with 170 posts. Gg guys.

[joker_josue]

Well, the Russian tab has more than twice as much (much more) than the second place.
He asked me if the topics of conversation are about Bitcoin or are more focused on other subjects.
With this I'm not saying it's something bad, just curious about the topics spoken.

When I started making these overviews difference between Russian and 2nd most active was much bigger, so this is nothing new.

He asked me if the topics of conversation are about Bitcoin or are more focused on other subjects.

I am not sure that I understand this part. Who asked you that?

With this I'm not saying it's something bad, just curious about the topics spoken.

I guess they talk about the pretty much the same stuff as in other local boards. Its just that they are much bigger than the others. You can always head over to their loacl and use translator to get the idea what's going on there.

[God Of Thunder]

Thanks for another chart, Rikafip.
But you are faster than before. Keep up your good work, brother.

Communities marked with * (Pakistan, Bangladesh) don't have their own local boards. Since its Christmas time, maybe theymos/Cyrus finally (whoever is in charge) add at least one more local board, like he did for Nigerians 2 years ago.

It looks like my community decided to give up. If you look at the last three months' stats of our local thread, its performance has been declining every month. I had a chat with a couple of members of our local thread whom I suspected of doing abuse, and now most of them do not come to our local thread anymore. That is what happened a year ago, and now, once again, the same thing. If I keep talking against the abusers, they stay away from our local thread. LOL.

[Segmadis]

Thanks Rikafip,
These are really interesting statistics.
I just wonder why most of the bigger countries are not posting as much, but it most probably have its explanation.

Just one visit to the Russian local board and you will see how big it is in comparison to our Croatian local board, for example. The Russian local has over 10 sub-boards and some of those have their own child boards. Considering the size of the country and how popular the language is, not just in Russia, but in many neighboring countries, I am not surprised by the numbers. Not today and not in the past. Bitcoin and crypto have surely gained even more traction in Russia following the global sanctions against the country.

Thanks for the update Rikafip!!

It makes sense. It makes sense.

In addition to crypto matters, certainly due to the sanctions, they should be able to gain access to other external information via the forum, which they might otherwise have difficulty obtaining.

Time for yet another brief monthly overview of the local boards activity, but this time a little bit ealrier than usual.

Thanks for taking time to create another report
Great to see our old local member ovcijisir coming back to life and taking the crown of most active member in previous month.
I think next month is going to be even better, with more comebacks after bitcoin reached new ATH.

I'm glad to be back, I was dormant for a while, but was really surprised that I am in a first place this month. Hope I didn't bother local members too much with posts.

With new ATH I hope I will not be the only one to come out of winter sleep on our local board

[CryptoHeadlineNews]

It's obvious last month was actually competitive in terms of local board post race, because i'm really surprised to see my local board come 5th last month with a total post of 1255 posts, which seems to be the 3rd lowest post we have made this entire year after August and September. As this shows a slight decline in our activeness and the activeness of the other local boards, which is fine and healthy for a competition such as this. And as such, I will like to use this medium to motivate my fellow Nigerians, to not give up as we strive again this month of December 2024, just as we did in January to emerge second place on this race, since it's obvious, we can't win the Russian local board, despite struggling with the Turkish monthly recently😃😃

However, Here Is A Statistics Of The Nigerian Local Board Total Post Race For The Year 2024

In January 2024, Naija Local board made 3255, and we came 2nd
In February 2024, Naija Local board made 2368, and we came 3rd
In March 2024, Naija Local board made 2833, and we came 3rd
In April 2024, Naija Local board made 2496, and we came 2nd
In May 2024, Naija Local board made 2288, and we came 3rd
In June 2024, Naija Local board made 1748, and we came 3rd
In July 2024, Naija Local board made 1429, and we came 2nd
In August 2024, Naija Local board made 1088 and we came 6th
In September 2024, Naija Local board made 1200, and we came 2nd
In October 2024, Naija Local board made 1464, and we came 3rd
In November 2024, Naija Local board made 1255 total post, and we came 5th

Thanks for the update Rikafip!!

Here is the updated Race

Overview has been updated, cheers!

I just wonder why most of the bigger countries are not posting as much, but it most probably have its explanation.

Bitcoiners and crypto enthusiasts in general from those countries are simply using some other platforms for communication, which we don't lack in recent years.

I think next month is going to be even better, with more comebacks after bitcoin reached new ATH.

Yep, if we continue like this, next overview will be by far our best in recent time.

Hope I didn't bother local members too much with posts.

Keep them coming, we needed some "fresh" blood!

It's obvious last month was actually competitive in terms of local board post race, because i'm really surprised to see my local board come 5th last month with a total post of 1255 posts, which seems to be the 3rd lowest post we have made this entire year after August and September.

Maybe that strict sheriff of yours has something to do with it.

October total posts 1088, November total posts *1255, we did better than the previous month, we only lost our position because other local boards did better than us. I had one of the least mod actions compared to the other local board mods last month.. maybe i have nothing to do with it after all. 

I'm more interested in merit per post ratio & total Smerits sent, I know merit per posts ratio is going to decrease due to the two active merit threads I created since I prefer to send merits to applications on those threads.
