This 24 hour figure is one of the best indicators of continual ATS growth.

Any guesses for how long it will be before we hit the magic 2400,which is an average of 100 posts an hour?

Not long John - this coming Saturday, 6th, perhaps??

Tremendous growth in the board - well deserved too!!

That is a truely fantastic statistic. Coming up to an average 100 posts per hour is an overwhelming number.

Keep going ATS!

I'll start taking odds... My personal favorite is Sunday the 7th. Place your bets! Gamble gamble gamble!

DE

We passed 400,000 total board posts and no one even noticed!

Do you know the peaks John?

To average 100 per hour, we must be like 500 in some hour and dead in others. When's peak around 11pm eastern US?

Here's an interesting graph... www.abovetopsecret.com...

Very cool graph. Its very intresting to see the numbers just keep jumping.

Hold on there Bubba-Louie... We're not trying to imply that post-count is a metric of ATS's "coolness" in any way, just that our growth continues to attract new members who become involved in the community. The new moderators, along with some new tools for quickly reacting to "less-than-stellar" posts should help to address some of the issues we've had lately with obvious attempts to jack-up point totals. Also, the increased staff will be able to pay better attention to thread content, and make sure appropriate topics are in the correct forums. Other interesting stats for number-minded people... Members posting: 24hr: 310 Members posting: 7 days: 641 Some boards would love to have as many 300 members... we have that many posting in a 24 hour period! Members Visiting 24hr: 613 Members Visiting 7 days: 1004 The members visiting in 24 hours was a much-watched stat at one point. There was a time when we thought 400 was a great number. Guests Visiting 24hr: 4405 Guests Visiting 7 days: 21625 This is an approximation as we're only counting unique IP's, and many users can come from AOL over one Proxy Server IP. So this means the board is averaging about 5,000 unique visitors/users every day. [Edited on 3-3-2004 by SkepticOverlord]
