[CHARTS] Brief monthly overview of the local boards activity

[joker_josue]

Last but not the least, list of top 10 most active members across 18 local boards, that are most responsible for keeping their boards alive. Once again mandown from Turkish local board is the most active local members, and this time followed by 2 more members of the same board while the name we used to see at the top (joker_josue) this time ended as 4th most active local board members. Kudos guys and keep up!

Well, the Turkish local board guys are not stopping. 
That makes it difficult.

But, at some point, I had to fall off the podium. We'll see if next month (April) I can recover. I don't think so.

@Rikafip, thanks for the update this is what I have been waiting for a while to find the current status of Indian local board since merit source announced that he withdrew from his position and there's no surprise the numbers went quite low. Indian board started to rise from bottom since last year June but now back to where it's started.

Maybe its time for someone else from your local board to apply for a merit source status?

Here is the updated race!!

Cheers, overview has been updated with your animated race.

True, it makes it much easier to have those kind of numbers when Turkish board is 2x more active than Portuguese.

Rikafip you are doing well for this update every month. I received the mentioned and decided to visit the thread to what is going all these while and I am very much impressed that Nigeria local board is still on the second for the months active members row. And from bitmover chart Nigeria takes third meaning we are still on the high side and pushing on to the right position. We are still praying that let's have the moderator (s) and the merit sources so that we can also do well in other areas and not only on the active side.

We are very backyard in the monthly Sending and receiving of merits. But we believe all those things will be fixed soon. Keep the good work going.

I guess so but the thing is veterans users from Indian community move to reddit platform and the remaining who are active here isn't showing much interest in engaging with the Local board discussions.

I hope we will find a replacement merit source...

while the Bengali numbers also keep going down month after month. I do hope they reverse this trend as it will get harder for them to get local board if numbers keep going down.

I don't know what should I say, I can speak for myself. I was not active due to Ramadan and decided to leave the signature campaign as well. I just came back a few days ago and still posting in our local thread. But the fact is, the activity of our local thread has been decreasing for a while and I guess I have said this before. You may know the reason already. A couple of members who have ranked up and joined the signature campaign decided to leave the local forum because most of them just wanted to use the thread to rank up and abuse the merit. It is easier to do these things on the local board. But unfortunately, I was harsh with them which led to decreasing the activity every month. I remember all the names who have been too active in our thread and they were posting all day. Best of luck to them. Maybe will get the board without them. Or we should be happy with the local thread?

Why not apply for a merit source? I am assuming that the members of the Indian local board will support you with your efforts as you have been active always on the board and always created interesting topics and engaging. It is not a big issue if you know how to apply for a merit source, this might be the first time a Senior Member becomes a merit source for the local board.

Now, you would say why not apply for the same. The problem is that there are so many non-Indians who acted like Indians and are now using their influence to control the board. They say they have retired or they are busy but they are still active with their alts and they can still influence the mods and encourage others to act against anyone, for example, me. Recently I have gone through that when I got temp ban. That is why I said I am not going to apply for a merit source for the local board.

I could but the problem with that is I don't understand the most spoken Language of our country the reason you may know which is I am from the southern most region. It should be someone who can understand Hindi primarily even though if they are not familiar with the regional languages. There are few other legendaries who contributed to our board are still active, I expect them to take a look or else we may look for possible options.

I don't see how that can be a reason for you (or anyone else for that matter) to not apply for a merit source status since you use English language only in your local board. Or something changed there and now you use other languages as well?

Well done mate. Great work as usual. And as a bonus, your productivity spree means also that this mint you have beaten me to that! I blame a horrendous mishap on my draft.
I will use your graphs in my Italian review! As always, great roundup.

Maybe I am just too paranoid and can't enjoy this win but I have a feeling that you delayed your overview so I have enough time to beat you, for a change. Just to make iot more interesting next month. 

I will use your graph in my Italian review!

Looking forward to it!

English language is predominantly used in the main board of Indian LB but Hindi language speakers probably over 80% of total Indian population that's why it's important that someone who is going to represent the Indian board should be familiar with the most spoken language.

Again, I don't understand why is it important to know Hindu if everyone on your local board is using English language only? I mean, I just went through your board a bit and when I look at the topic titles, all I see is English language.

Unfortunately, the numbers for the Romanian, Greek, and Polish boards remained pretty similar to the previous months, while the Bengali numbers also keep going down month after month. I do hope they reverse this trend as it will get harder for them to get local board if numbers keep going down.

The Polish board has been really quiet lately. For small boards like that, all it takes is 1 or 2 top contributors to become inactive for all stats to take a nose-dive. And even if there are some people lurking in, when seeing low activity, they'd just move away to other parts of the forum.
Hopefully things will change at some point.

Once again Spanish local board is at the top of the merit/post chart, ands this time with even bigger ratio (...)

Time to start learning Spanish I guess 
1.42 merit per post is impressive indeed. Looks like they have a nice community there.

Believe it or not, I think that some some merit farmers actually tried that technique, going to a local board (without speaking the language) with a good merit/post ratio and trying to get some merit that way.

@fillippone for some reason I think I saw situation like that in Italian local board. Or I am imagining things that didn't happen?
