[CHARTS] Brief monthly overview of the local boards activity

[dkbit98]

Its time for a yet another brief monthly overview of local boards activity, this time a little bit later than in previous months as I was busy with yearly overviews.

Well done for one more good reporting work Rikafip!
I am looking at activity from Pakistan members and it's again higher than our local board, French, Arabic, Romainan, Nigerian (recently added), and few others.
They deserve to get new local board, so theymos and moderators do something if you are watching and reading this.
Any update about making yearly reports like we talked about?

Why do you think that?
Honestly, the forum may even reduce its activity a little, but it will hardly cease to be the main source of information about Bitcoin and this market. It's one of the few forums I know of that has such good stability.

Hm I don't think I follow you. I didn't say that forum will die, but rather that activity will most likely keep decreasing as it was for the last ~5 years.

Yep, their numbers are very good. And its not like that for the last few months because if you go back ~2 years ago when I include them into this overview they were already more active than many other local boards. I think that them getting their own local board is just a matter of time, but I do hope that they won't have to wait as long as Nigerians.

Any update about making yearly reports like we talked about?

But I already made yearly overview a week ago, I don't know how you missed it. Or you meant some other type of yearly overview?

Yeah I missed it obviously, maybe because I didn't feel so well last week and I was traveling for a few days in the same time, so I couldn't follow everything that is happening in the forum.
I remember you posted something similar overview of our local board but I think that happened earlier in January, and everything mixed in my head.
Good work for both of them, I just checked them again

Post activity per local board during 2022
Merit shared per local board during 2022

It's very nice that the local board Bahasa Indonesian has experienced several improvements during 2022.
Specifically regarding the merit share, the amount actually increased compared to the number of distribution during 2021 where the percentage increase reached 65%. I have also prepared recap for 2022, but maybe not as complete as you.

Awesome work, thanks for that. If you don't mind I would like to update my monthly overview with your animated chart.

Yeah I noticed for some time that Indonesian board recovered well, but still your number of merits shared is far from the early 2020 numbers when I started making these overviews, even when you take into consideration reduced amount of posts meaning there's still some room for improvement.


One question: does anyone know if its possible to add one "reserved" post under the first post of this topic?I mean ask mods to do it. I totally forgot to do it and I would like to use that to create a list of all monthly overviews for an easier access. I think I saw someone making a similar request but not sure if I am imagining or that really happened.

Of course! That would be awesome.
The problem is that I need your updated data to update my race chart!

<...> One question: does anyone know if its possible to add one "reserved" post under the first post of this topic? <...>

Read through this thread to get some insights on how it could be resolved. Though Pmalek’s case was resolved in a simple manner (Charles-Tim deleted a post that was in fourth place within the thread, thus Pmalek was able to have three posts in a row to do what he needed to do), there are prior cases where it has been done. The basis for it to be feasible is described here, and pivots around finding a deleted post with an Id in the adequate range (between the two posts it should be inserted on a given thread). It involves a bit of mumble jumble that only Admins can do at database level.

Yeah I understand that I would have to update the overview and not include it immediately. Unless I give you (or you take it from ninjastic.space before me) post data in advance which could also be a solution.

Thanks, that's exactly the topic I had in mind I just couldn't remember the details. It seems like a lot of hassle as someone else's post would have to be deleted in order to make room for mine so I think that I will just add the info I planned in that first post.

Talk to theymos first. Send him a PM and check what he has to say. He isn't going to delete a random post and give you the ID for it. He will give you the ID of a post that was already deleted in the past for whatever reason. It worked in my thread, maybe it will in your as well. If theymos can't do it, he will let you know.

Yeah I know he wouldn't delete a random post. From my understanding I would have to ask @asu to delete his post so I can get another one right after the first one.

It worked in my thread, maybe it will in your as well. If theymos can't do it, he will let you know.

Nah, I don't wanna bother him with it, its not that important. I thought that it can maybe be done on mod/admin level in a simple way but since it can't I'll just sort that out in a different way. Anyway, thanks for suggestion.

Send me a PM before your next update. I will try to update the rate asap.  Let's see how it works.

I thought about separating members in several groups according to the amount of posts made like I did for yearly overview as that would give clearer picture but it will have to wait for the next month's overview as I've been busy in the last couple of days and it will remain the same until the end of the month. So, if you have some idea how to divide groups, let me know pls.

Thank you Rikafip for giving local communities such amazing charts which give an overview of their contributions in keeping this forum alive.

I agree with the active forum members that graph is much more clear.... for monthly stats I think we can divide it like 1 Post, 5 Posts and +5 Posts.

Another request please make the colors bright for this graph too like other graphs, dark colors are nice and more prominent.

Also thank you for the 2022 Year Summary, it really helped me to compile stats for our community Pakistan Thread - Rewind 2022

Wow amazing I love the race chart.. Russia is unbeatable... I mean... ok you got it

[Rikafip]

I could just send you .csv with post numbers so you don't have to bother with it.

I was thinking more like 1-2 posts, 3-9 and 10+ but will play around a little bit more with it and in the meantime maybe someone else share their opinion.

I chose those colours as I wanted numbers inside the charts to be more visible. The brighter chart color is, harder is to read what's inside them while other charts don't have numbers inside so I can chose any colour I want.

I think the first scale 1-5 posts or 1-10 posts would be better. Since there must be many users who have only posted half a dozen times in the forum. So creating lots of small scales can become a lot of work.

One question I wanted to ask you last month, but I actually forgot. I have seen the number of post per local board diverging when compared from the results of @ddmrddmr dashboard. As per dashboard posts in the Italian board are 724 for both November and December, while per your report they are at 902 and 499 respectively.

Do you have any insight on this?

Ddmrddmr counts posts in his Merit Dashboard different from ninjastic.space and that's the cause of that difference. While ninjastic.space counts all posts written in certain timeframe (even those that got deleted later), Merit Dashboard counts posts based on difference between post number so if there's many deleted posts in certain period or if mods move them around, that can affect the total number of posts showed. He can give you a more detailed answer on this.

Russian board had big problems with that as their admins constantly deleted old posts causing Merit Dashboard being unreliable so I started using ninjastic.space instead. That tool is not perfect either as it shows inflated number (due counting deleted posts) but it give a clearer picture when it comes to boards with many posts deleted on the regular basis.

edit: for some reason ninjastic.space now shows 861 posts for Italian board during November. Since I doubt such difference was caused by some change in ninjastic.space, I guess I made a mistake and it will be sorted asap.

Thank you for the clear explanation, I should have already known.
Going deeper on the analysis I also noticed there is a big discrepancy also in he number of active users. While on ninjastic.space there were 54 active users, you reported 38 only.
Senders/receivers are off again agains ddmrddmr....
Do you have an explanation also for that?

Yet another fuck up I guess that I can't really explain. Anyway, all three charts (I had to sort merit/post chart as well since it was affected by a change of number of posts) have been updated with correct numbers and I appreciate letting me know.

Senders/receivers are off again agains ddmrddmr....

Hm I see 27 senders and 34 receivers on Merit Dashboard and the same numbers are in the monthly overview. Unless I am (again) missing something.

Sorry,
I meant merit/post ratio, but I guess it's due to the different in post counts.

I guess ninjastic.space has a better counting method, but @ddmrddmr dashboard has a simpler interface for what I intend to do!
