[CHARTS] Brief monthly overview of the local boards activity

[fillippone]

Wow,
only a few hours before the end of the month, I was finally able to publish my analysis on the Italian board.
Once again, thank you Rikafip for your incredible work, I embedded in my post!

Congratulations on this report on the Italian board. This is not a simple report, it is a very complete and detailed analysis of what "pass for Italy".

I assure you it’s not simple to write, but this month I had the feedback it’s not even easy to read!
I might shorten it next time.
Even if it’s a gargantuan task, I like to discuss those numbers and telling a story about them!

Personally, I thought it was an excellent job. 
A short description of the numbers helps to frame the situation and to have a more detailed general idea.

Yes, this is basically the same idea of this thread by @Rikafip.
Of course, as I am focusing on a single board, can go much deeper in the a analysis.

Damn you were really cutting it close this time, slacker of the month title well deserved.

Bastardi!

If I were you I wouldn't change the approach as your overview really stand out from others, and especially if you enjoy making it like that. Tbh I started making these overviews primarily for myself as I was curious how my local board performs and compares to others, and I guess its something similar in your case as well.

Same here.
It started as I was an avid user of the @ddmrddmr merit dashboard, and wanted to share my findings with other. Then it slowly grew on a way of trying to create a “story” for our board, trying to motivate also the other users.
I had mixed results on this, but it was well worth trying.

[Peanutswar]

Currently, I'm updating our local stats here in the Pilipinas Local Board and I guess it is glad to share here our Monthly Active users and activity of our local.

MONTHLY MERIT STATS (10/1- 10 /31/2022)

Stats came from
Ninjastic Space by TryNinja and Bitcointalk Merit Dashboard by DdmrDdmr.

[Rikafip]

Currently, I'm updating our local stats here in the Pilipinas Local Board and I guess it is glad to share here our Monthly Active users and activity of our local.

While your post activity is still pretty good, when it comes to merit I see that you had one of the worst months yet, with only 12 shared during October which is a huge drop from already low September's 53 merits. As a matter of fact, only two times you had the worse results: back in November 2018 (14 merits) and December 2018 (4 merits).

Have you started conversation in your local board about more members applying for a merit source? I am asking because your merit/post ratio is one of the lowest on the forum, even lower than places like altcoin or off-topic boards which we know are not an epitome of quality discussions.

[Rikafip]

Exactly one month passed from the last monthly overview  so its time for the new one. Charts and table are made with the help of @DdmrDdmr Merit Dashboard and @TryNinja Ninjastic.space.

Reminder that communities marked with * (Pakistan, Nigerian, Bangladesh) don't have their own local boards yet, with the hope that will change soon.


Post activity per local board during October 2022

After having decreased amount of posts written across local board during September, last month was a little bit better with 14084 posts (up from 13857). Increase is very little, but considering how situation is going on lately in terms of activity, i will take it as a positive sign.

No changes among the most active local boards as Russian remained the most active one, followed by Turkish, German and Portuguese and pretty much the same boards occupy the lower activity part of the chart. It is good to see that 2/3 (Nigerian and Pakistan) communities without local board are showing strong numbers month after month and are consistently in the top half.

@Cyrus, maybe its time to consider giving these guys their own local boards? Or at least give to one of them and see how it goes.

Number of active members per local board during October 2022

After last month's decrease, this time number of active members went down significantly: from 1185 in September to 1101 in October. So far I don't remember having such big decrease on the monthly basis (percentage wise) but since I count all those who wrote at least 1 post during month period, I guess that should be kinda expected.

Merit shared per local board during October 2022

Slight increase in post activity unfortunately wasn't followed by the merit shared increase as during 10/2022 5030 merits were shared which is almost 10% decrease from September's numbers (5487).That decrease is relatively evenly shared among majority of boards with no drastic decrease except French board that had 40$ decrease  while few other boards had noticeable decrease like German (- 28 %) and Portuguese (-27 %).

When it comes to the biggest gainers, two boards stands out: Arabic board with 145% and Croatian with 96 % increase (the latter one is more about the poor September results).

Merit senders and receivers per local board during October 2022

Nothing much to say about this chart really other than reminder that local boards are ordered by the amount of merits shared. What is noticeable though is that number of senders and receivers are down, which is understandable given the ~10% decrease of the amount shared.

Merit/Post ratio per local board for October 2022

And the last in this series of charts, merit/post one. As you can see, once again Arabic board really stands out with its 3.02 merits per post shared and Romanian is not far behind as well. Other boards didn't really have significant changes compares to previous month (at least none that I noticed) while some local boards like remained seriously undermerited month after month.

0.03 merits per post shared in Philippines board during last month (12 month ratio is not much better either which shows that it is ongoing problem) is on par with some of the least quality parts of this forum, like altcoin or off-topic sections. Imho, they need another merit source urgently, or at least help from other merit sources until they get their own because they are still among the more active local boards.

The most active members per local board during October 2022

Now that we saw the overall situation in local boards, its time to mentioned the people that are keeping their local boards alive. Once again joker_josue from Portuguese board  with 244 posts remains the most active one among all other members active in local boards followed by two members of Russian board, Ratimov and Snork1979 that both written 171 posts in their local board while DdmrDdmr from Spanish board was not far behind them with 170 posts.

Reminder that communities marked with * (Pakistan, Nigerian, Bangladesh) don't have their own local boards yet, with the hope that will change soon.

And we expect the change to be sooner than its time. Those yet to be made local boards have busy activities and theymos should look into them, especially Nigeria. We have healthy discussions and topics going on in our local thread. We are a country that loves Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. Again, following up this monthly reports with the tables has made me know some of the members here and their countries of origins. Keep it up Rikafip.

[fillippone]

Great news!
I have already started working on my update, and I already added sarcasm on your slacking habits.
But the harsh reality is crust you are way more efficient than I am.
So, good work my friend!

[dkbit98]

...

Hold your horses... I think that next month report will show much more activity for local boards, maybe thanks to FTX collapse.
Good news for our local board is that old King Slacko is finally back after summer break, and I don't think Daniel will hold his crown any longer
It's crazy to see that our local troll policeman Snowshow was third most active member in our local boar...

[joker_josue]

@Rikafip congratulations for another good job. Thanks.

Now that we saw the overall situation in local boards, its time to mentioned the people that are keeping their local boards alive. Once again joker_josue from Portuguese board  with 244 posts remains the most active one among all other members active in local boards followed by two members of Russian board, Ratimov and Snork1979 that both written 171 posts in their local board while DdmrDdmr from Spanish board was not far behind them with 170 posts.

The month of October was a little low for everyone, I couldn't even reach 250 posts on the Portuguese tab. I was surprised that I still managed to come in first.

In turn, less post movement - in general across the forum, generates less merits to circulate. Perhaps the time is coming for there to be more sources of merit.

Yes, this last fortnight will give a big boost to the posts, it would be good for the merits to reflect that too.

Great news!

So, good work my friend!

Is silent! It's just that now seeing this topic is that I remembered my tree.

[Rikafip]

And we expect the change to be sooner than its time. Those yet to be made local boards have busy activities and theymos should look into them, especially Nigeria. We have healthy discussions and topics going on in our local thread. We are a country that loves Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.

Keep up with those numbers and I am sure that you will eventually get what you deserve. Thinking of it, I don't remember your local board request topic in being bumped lately so maybe you (Nigerians) should be more active in that regard.

But the harsh reality is crust you are way more efficient than I am.

Hah, I still do slack and it takes me 3-4 days to finish this overview. Its just that in the last few months I have a little bit less hectic schedule (+season of swimming is over for me) so I am publishing these things in the reasonable time frame.

Hold your horses... I think that next month report will show much more activity for local boards, maybe thanks to FTX collapse.

Yep, I expect this month's numbers to be higher than the last ones, mainly thanks to the shitshow caused by FTX downfall. Regarding Return of the King, he was sorely missed in the last few months and with him at the helm I think that we can climb up the ladder at least 1 spot, maybe even 2. 

It's crazy to see that our local troll policeman Snowshow was third most active member in our local boar...

At least some use of him. But I think that our guys managed to out troll him as he went back under the bridge he crawled from. At least until he resurfaces with yet another alt account.

[uchegod-21]

@Cyrus, maybe its time to consider giving these guys their own local boards? Or at least give to one of them and see how it goes.

Thank you good for lending your voice to the request of Nigerians to the admins of this forum. I have seen the honesty and genuineness behind your request. Since you publish this figures monthly you are in the best position to track how fast and quality the Nigerian local board thread has grown. Every time you observe the immense growth and contribution, you don't hesitate to announce it.

As Cyrus will be examining your request, get ready to travel to Nigeria. We will give you a beautiful wife, it doesn't matter if you have a wife before. It's our culture, we give wife to strangers that are good to us in appreciation for their kindness 

[Rikafip]

Since you publish this figures monthly you are in the best position to track how fast and quality the Nigerian local board thread has grown. Every time you observe the immense growth and contribution, you don't hesitate to announce it.

Well I am only checking the numbers and not the post quality there/amount of spam and that also may be one of the criteria for getting your own local board.

Every time you observe the immense growth and contribution, you don't hesitate to announce it.

I see local boards an important part of the forum, even more so now than before when bitcoin is spreading all over the world and not all people are capable or willing to communicate in English. On top of that, each country has its own crypto related issues and where better to discuss it other than your own local board.

As Cyrus will be examining your request, get ready to travel to Nigeria. We will give you a beautiful wife, it doesn't matter if you have a wife before. It's our culture, we give wife to strangers that are good to us in appreciation for their kindness 

Hah I am not so sure that he even saw my post, let alone considering it. Regarding the wife thing, thank you for the offer but I am barely managing one wife, let alone two. 

[aysg76]

Great news!

But the harsh reality is crust you are way more efficient than I am.
So, good work my friend!

You both are good at your levels and it requires lot of work to compile the monthly statistics reports for the local board activity so you can take your time with this one also.But yes we have to take on this one that @Rikafip is doing quite a good job in them and being preety fast from last few reports.

But you also take your time and maybe you come up with your own crux of reports in your style within next few days so waiting for it also.

[Daniel91]

Great analysis Rikafip, as always. Thank you for your effort and time.
So, the only good news is that our activity has increased a little, but unfortunately the number of active members continues to decrease, and the number of shared merits is also lower.
Obviously, this is a long-term trend that will be very difficult to change.
I can't believe that I am again the most active member of the Croatian part of the forum, and I don't have the feeling that I was very active.
I thought it was some mistake when I didn't see our slackovic on the list lol   
... and so our troll is third on the list, what can we say about that?   

[Rikafip]

So, the only good news is that our activity has increased a little, but unfortunately the number of active members continues to decrease, and the number of shared merits is also lower.

Number of active users went down a lot compared to the February 2022 when I first started tracking that. To be more precise, in February there were 1396 active members across local board that is ~25% more than the last month.

Obviously, this is a long-term trend that will be very difficult to change.

Yep, hard to change it the trend but maybe decrease could be slowed down though, with adding few more local boards.

I can't believe that I am again the most active member of the Croatian part of the forum, and I don't have the feeling that I was very active.
I thought it was some mistake when I didn't see our slackovic on the list lol    

I hope that you enjoyed while it lasted because no when King is back you will have to satisfy with the 2nd place.
