[CHARTS] Brief monthly overview of the local boards activity

[Ambatman]

Jokes apart, the drop in local boards is quite noticeable. I am always puzzled by how the summer months in the northern hemisphere do impact the forum activity.
Of course, Spanish, Italian, and maybe French local boards can be impacted, but the others... where is everyone?

On the beaches of Portugal, Spain, Italy and Greece.  
Why do you think the price of BTC has been falling? It's because people are selling to go on vacation in Europe.  

September effect
Still not getting old.
I doubt if any are going to my country Nigeria but we have quite nice places for tourism(mountains, rivers, Wild life's etc)  not to mention with all humility our diversified  culture's history are very engaging.

Any can take it as a vacation option though,  I assure you won't be disappointed as long as you don't come during summer  Which is quite hot.

That's why Europeans only go there in the winter months in the northern region. Those who take vacations at this time, of course.

Unfortunately at the local Spanish board we have had a bit of a downturn in activity over the last few months due to our most beloved bot going on holiday, or something. But fortunately his place as leader has been taken by famososMuertos, who without being a bot is doing a commendable job.

I am just amazed seeing Nigerian local board and Russian competing I guess is not what I am thinking because with due time I am sure we would definitely take over them. @Rikafip I really appreciate your work for putting us always updated here at least to know the activities and the activeness of every local board.

The results of the Nigerian board are pretty remarkable.
Even more remarkable, you were successful as a community without a proper board until recently.
Well done.
Kudos also to the local merit sources, who are doing good work.

Yes, you and @hugeblack also attributed to the heavy growth of Nigerian board by offering self and free review from our users, the opportunity made some of them to take their sit not untill another source was added but his allocation is very little just 100 merits per month, but still we appreciate theymos for doing that, I hope he increases both allocation to around 500 each.

You are still quite far away from them and it won't be easy to catch them up or even overtake as your growth slowed down, which was of course expected. But how knows, stranger things has happened.

Yeah we all noticed him being less active lately, and not only in the last few months but maybe even a year or so. Or at least that's how it feels as I don't see him around as much as before.

Hehe, we can say with time maybe before next year, just that only few of us post in the local board most people has been complaining about lack of merits so their interest is gradually declining from local board, they focused on English board to see the possible assistance for their growth since the allocated merits isn't going way far more better. The population is also increasing and nearly almost every day we do have new sign up, sometimes they are people who puts more efforts in making the board more active and lively.

Thanks again Rikafip 
I always spend some time reading the charts you make and compare them with the other months and do some analysis myself

Everyone has already talked about Nigeria, but it's amazing to notice their greater participation, not only in the forum, but in other social networks in general, I also use X a lot, and the participation of Nigerians is remarkable
Some of the crypto users I follow are Nigerian, especially in the airdrops we hunt together

I'm also surprised to realize that on the Portuguese board we only have 30 active users, when all together (Brazil and Portugal) there are around 225 million people

I guess people from these countries are using some other platforms to talk about bitcoin and same thing can be said about other local boards like Spanish and French and then there are completely dead board from countries with big population like Chine, Japan, Korea etc.

Yes you're right
We've discussed it on our local board once, because there were times when we had even fewer active users 
The best explanation was the use of other social networks like tik tok, instagram, facebook etc

I've already recommended the forum to people close to me, but it's hard for them to stay here, I think they don't have the patience to read a lot of texts and they're not used to using a forum
It's hard to compete with videos that are only a few minutes long and full of visual stimulation

But in my opinion nothing is better and more organized than the forum, and we still have reliable sources

Reading takes work and forces you to use your brain more actively. 

Without a doubt, this type of forum is one of the best ways to keep information organized and with reliable content about Bitcoin.
