[CHARTS] Brief monthly overview of the local boards activity

[Rikafip]

Now I have to add not only one, but two sets of charts to my monthly overview!

Still better than having to make 4 overviews, like I will have to make this month. 2 here (monthly and yearly) and 2 for my local board.

In the end, I’m always slacking!

Hah, tell me about it.

Thank you for another month of review.

Well, how long has it been since I've been in the top 3? Congratulations to this month's winners...

Its better to ask when was the last time (if we are not counting last month) that you haven't been in top 3?

I do expect you to stop slacking and back to the top in the next overview.

i enjoy reviewing the data shared for local sections each month, especially for my own section. as the turkish section, i think we can catch up with russia by the end of this month. we were behind them in terms of message counts, but we got quite close to them in december. recently, a few people from our local section were selected as merit sources, and i think this is also an important factor.

[EFS]

Selecting new merit sources to replace inactive ones is good but their merit allocations are still very low. The impact has been very limited. We're still behind other local sections. It's already clear from the merit/post ratio. We'll probably pass the Russian section in message count this month, but improvements are needed in merit distribution. If users who earn merit distribute it fairly, we'll become a faster growing local section.

Active members per local board during December 2025

During December, 1441 members wrote at least 1 post in one of the local boards, which is almost as same as the month before (1445 during November).

Nigerian is at the top, but not as dominant as with the number of posts, Russian board at the 2nd spot while Indonesian at 3rd is far behind them.

Now Indonesia is indeed lagging behind Nigeria and Russia, but in 2026 the Indonesian Local Forum may be more active and more active members because it has started to appear now.

Some influence the number of Merit Sources is small and some are even inactive making activities in local Indonesia quiet,
some have already applied to become Merit Sources, and I am also one of the people who submitted, but waiting for Theymos to review our application.

Merit Distribution Data throughout 2025

Data Distribusi Merit sepanjang tahun 2025, lalu akan di lanjut update secara berkala mungkin seminggu sekali untuk keberlanjutan Data Distribusi Merit ini.

Update the data race all the local boards that you pinned show amazing activity for Nigeria and Russia, these two local boards compete with each other,
but some also like my local board Indonesia is also a competitor with Turkey.
this proves that the Bitcointalk Forum is still very crowded, and some local boards are quite probably because of the lack of interest in Bitcoin.

Great analysis once again Rikafip, congratulations on your years of hard work on these very interesting analyses that many members follow regularly.
Annual review? I can't wait to see it. 
I see that one constant hasn't changed for years on the Croa
I guess we can expect the publication of local statistics for the Croatian part of the forum soon?

Now Indonesia is indeed lagging behind Nigeria and Russia, but in 2026 the Indonesian Local Forum may be more active and more active members because it has started to appear now.

I remember when, writing my monthly posts, I was dreaming about the Italian board surpassing your Indonesian one.
We were slowly grinding merits, but then you changed pace and became unreachable.
Well done on successfully luring new members into the forum! There, we failed miserably.

[HustleZ]

Its time for yet another brief monthly overview of local boards activity, and a little bit earlier than last time as I plan to publish the yearly overview by the end of the month.

Hi Rikafip, hope you are doing well. I just wanted to draw your attention to a slight mishap in the table. In the Pakistan Thread and bangali thread section of top posters when you click on any user's name it goes right to my profile instead of going to their respective profiles. So if you adjust it a bit it would be amazing. Thanks!!

Thanks, its been updated!

Tbh, I think that some local boards might have unrealsiotuically high merit per post ratio, which makes your looking worse than it actually is. I can only speculate though as you know situation in your own local board much better than me and how many good posts get undermited.

Annual review? I can't wait to see it. 

I've been making those for the last few years.

Very soon. Tomorrow.

I remember when, writing my monthly posts, I was dreaming about the Italian board surpassing your Indonesian one.

I remember the time when my local was beating yours, and now we are nowhere close to you.

Yeah links for Bengali and Pakistan have been messed up, and they actually lead to whoever click on them, not exactly on you. Anyway, thanks for letting me know, it will be sorted out.

Italian locals used to be strong competitors, and even Italy became one of the active locals a few years ago.
and Local Indonesia starting from 2023-2024, the end of the activity is quite quiet, and many members are no longer active,
perhaps due to the decrease in rewards for bounties and airdrops and also unable to compete with others.

Many new members are indeed struggling to be active in the forum, but some also become farming accounts,
but currently it seems that Lokal Indonesia is also stricter and @AakZaki one of the active hunters lately by revealing many farming accounts.
