[CHARTS] Brief monthly overview of the local boards activity

[Rikafip]

Hey @Rikafip. Stop Slacking! Where have you gone? How comes that it is almost the end of the month, and we both haven't published our graphs (yet??)

You are absolutely right, I am seriously slacking. First I was procrastinating at the beginning of the month when I had plenty of free time but then things got really hectic at work and on top of that I got sick. But as they say that kick in the ass is one step forward so thanks for the reminder.   I will try to publish the charts this week and if not, hopefully by Tuesday (May 31st).

I don't know if it has been commented in some of the 17 pages of the thread, has the activity on local boards increased lately? I say this because I see that there are some signature campaigns that pay to write on the local boards, about 40/50% of the total weekly quota, we have been commenting on the subject in the Spanish section, and at least I remember years ago it wasn't like that, I don't know if this could have had any influence.

Come on! You are pulling excuses. We both know we aren’t talking about sickness of things to do at work!

Nope, haven't noticed any increase lately. If anything, numbers are going down (for majority of local boards) but that's not just local boards issue as English part of the forum is experiencing the same thing.

I say this because I see that there are some signature campaigns that pay to write on the local boards, about 40/50% of the total weekly quota, we have been commenting on the subject in the Spanish section, and at least I remember years ago it wasn't like that, I don't know if this could have had any influence.

I just checked and out of 16 active signature campaigns only 4 don't count posts written in local boards so yeah, situation does look good regarding that compared to some previous times. Then again, I don't think that local boards are affected much with this rule as I think that people will write in their local boards whether posts count or not. For example, (until recently) I've been 2 years in signature campaign that doesn't count local board posts and that didn't stop me from being active in my local and I think its the same thing for majority of other members.

Come on! You are pulling excuses. We both know we aren’t talking about sickness of things to do at work!

As we say in Croatia, "dobra izlika zlata vrijedi" or "good excuse is worth in gold".

Rikafip, how is the progress of your long-awaited report of the local boards activity?
I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that many members of this forum are waiting with great interest for your new report 
Given that I understand that due to personal commitments you don't have so much free time, maybe in the future you could make this report once in three months instead of every month and so reduce the burden a little because of this report that you certainly feel.
For me, that would be quite ok and maybe some trends of this forum would be better seen over a longer period of time.
Thank you for your effort and time for publishing these reports.

Rikafip, how is the progress of your long-awaited report of the local boards activity?

All charts are finished, I just have to write the text so it should be published tomorrow.

Given that I understand that due to personal commitments you don't have so much free time, maybe in the future you could make this report once in three months instead of every month and so reduce the burden a little because of this report that you certainly feel.

Nah its not burden at all, it's just that some months are more hectic for me due nature of my work, and then you add some procrastination and laziness and this is what you get. And my plan is to continue doing this on a monthly basis, like I did for the last two and a half years.

Thank you for your effort and time for publishing these reports.

I am always glad to hear that others are finding these things useful/interesting.

[Rikafip]

Time for yet another brief monthly overview of local boards activity, this time with a slight delay. As always charts and table are made using data from @DdmrDdmr Merit Dashboard and @TryNinja Ninjastic.space.

Communities marked with * (Pakistan, Nigerian, Bangladesh) don't have their own local boards. Not yet at least but I hope that changes in the future.


Post activity per local board during April 2022

After last month's increase of activity, we are back to the decrease; during April, 18351 posts were written across local boards which is slight decrease compared to March and 19044 posts written in that period. Decrease is not big, but these things accumulate over time and numbers are generally much lower compared to year ago.

When it comes to the most active threads, there's no change compared to last few months: Russian board is far ahead, followed by Turkish and German. I do hope that situation in Russian board calmed donw, but somehow I doubt that's the case. The name that sticks out in this chart is Pakistan, as they are having great numbers considering the fact that they have only 1 topic to write all those posts (863 to be precise). I don't know what's the quality of those posts written there, but its respectable number nevertheless.

Number of posters per local board during April 2022

Despite the slight decrease of the post amount, number of posters increased: during April 1372 members wrote at least one pass in local boards, which is n increase compared to March during which 1357 members were active. Talking about the boards with the most amount of active members there is no much change compared to March: Russian board is far ahead followed by the usual names.

I've been thinking about increasing the requirement as current one is only 1 post, and I am not sure that we can categorize someone as  an "active member" if he wrote only 1 post in a month.

Post/user ratio per local board for April 2022

This is the 2nd time that I am sharing this chart, and just confirms what we saw already, that more posts written in a board usually results with the bigger post/user ratio.

Merit shared per local board during April 2022

Even though post decrease was slight, when iut comes to merit shared it was way more severe. During April, 5556 merits were shared across local boards which is a significant decrease of 20%, compared to March and 6981 merits shared. This huge decrease is mostly caused by three out of four most merited local boards (Russian, Turkish and Italian). Vast majority of other boards have decrease as well, but those three affected the result the most.

The only local board (among the more active ones at least) that has a significant increase was Croatian,but its more due fact that March was very bad month fore us, rather than this being a very good result.

Merit senders/receivers per local board for April 2022

Despite the big decrease of merit shared, this chart doesn't look much different from the March one.

Merit/Post ratio per local board for April 2022

Last but not the least in this series of charts is post/merit ratio. Once again Dutch board is kinda messing up the chart, but as I said before these kind of things are normal among the local boards that are no so active as you don't have to share a lot of merit to affect the ratio a lot. The most important thing is that blue color still dominates, meaning monthly ratio is still bigger than 12 months one.

The most active members per local board during April 2022

And for the end of this monthly overview, list of those that are keeping their boards active. Once again joker_josue retained his title and with 294 posts he was the most active members across all local boards. GG!

And for the end of this monthly overview, list of those that are keeping their boards active. Once again joker_josue retained his title and with 294 posts he was the most active members across all local boards. GG!

Very good report once again, and I believe that summer time and hot weather usually means decreasing in forum activity in this period, so I am not really worried about that.
But bad news for our local section is that our undisputed champion is below his average number of posts and that is going to be even lower in your next reports... because he made last post in May 18th

Thanks for the highlight. I only hope that my participation will be of quality from the point of view of my colleagues from the Portuguese board.

I believe that for the next month (June) I will lose the first place. But if that happens, in July I will take revenge! 

[Rikafip]

Yep, he has been without campaign for quite some time so its natural to write less, or maybe he is without the campaign because he can't be bothered to be as active as before. After all, its perfectly normal to take a break from forum every once in a while. If anything, someone else will have a chance to become the most active member of our local board

I believe that for the next month (June) I will lose the first place. But if that happens, in July I will take revenge! 

You keep saying that every month and you usually end up being the most active members so I have  feeling that you will end up at the top next month as well.

I already look like the politicians who promise and never do anything! 

[Coyster]

After last month's increase of activity, we are back to the decrease...

Thank you for this overview Rikafip. Sadly the decrease is also evident in my local 'thread' (Nigerian local thread), from last months review we had around 348 post activity on our local thread, but we are down to 209 this month, that is a large decrease of around 139 post from last month; i really can't state the reason why, we had a couple of public holidays in our country this month, lol, so prolly users were rather spending time with their families than posting on the forum , or maybe it was just as a result of the reduction of the number of active users on our local thread, from 34 (last month) to 29 (this month).

Whichever is the reason, i sincerely hope the thread is more active for the month of June, as we seek to get our official local board, low activity is the last thing we want in our local thread (i myself also have to do better too  ). Good report once again mate.

[Rikafip]

Its actually quite the opposite as you overdeliver while politicians always underdeliver.

It is a big decrease but your numbers are still good imho, especially considering the fact that you are writing everything in one topic. If you can keep these numbers in the long run I am sure that you will eventually get your own local board. You just have to be patient and keep bumping that request topic of yours.

If we are already counting fifth month, May,  as summer month and as an excuse for a smaller number of posts and a drop in activity, then what can we expect in the next 4-5 months 
I think that summer and vacations don't play a big role in the decline of activities on this forum, but that it is a long-term trend that started a few years ago.
Personally, I do not believe that this trend can be stopped or reversed because it is obvious that the younger generations prefer some other ways of communicating on the Internet.
As for our local champion from the Croatian part of the forum, we obviously have to help him find the signature campaign as soon as possible, otherwise the local statistics will be even worse 

[fillippone]

Thank you for your work, as usual, Rikafip
I think it would be a nice addition to the thread a graph summarising the posts in a single month gathered by the local boards as opposed to the general board.
The same graph was done for posts.
What do you think? I tried to gather similar graphs to help draw, but I miserably failed on finding how to export the data.
So two simple graph lines:

• local post/forum posts
• local merits/forum merits

Thanks!

I read it like 10 times and honestly I do not understand what kind of chart you have in mind. To compare total amount of posts in local boards vs general board as a whole or local boards vs all other boards? Or something completely different?

Sorry for my broken English.

My idea is to assess the level of activity in the local boards.

So, the first idea to determine how lively the “local boards ecosystem is”, would be to calculate the ratio between the number of posts in the local boards, as a whole, to the number of posts in the forum.

The second indicator would be the same ratio, but considering merits. So it would be merits in all the local boards over the merits across the whole forum.

Hope this clarifies.

I think he is finally back today, there is still hope for us 
Maybe he was resting, swimming and getting nice skin color on his holiday vacation.

Maybe I don't understand your mambo italiano english, but isn't this already provided in his reports?
You can clearly see number of posts for most members in local boards, and there is information about merit statistics as well.

I can’t see the total numbers of merits of local boards, over the total merits in the forum: “Which percentage of merits has been distributed on local boards last month?”

Also:

“Which percentage of posts has been distributed on local boards last month?”

Ah, now I get it. Not a bad idea (and something I would like to see too) but goal of this topic is to compare local boards and not to compare how they perform against the forum in general. As I said before, I wanted to to keep this overview brief and its already kinda too big so I am not so inclined to add even more charts. But I will definitely think about it and maybe include it in one of the future overviews.

I think he is finally back today, there is still hope for us 

Yeah I saw, our local forum is not the same without him being all over the place.
