I don't think it matters too much nowadays considering the amount of >>traffic we get.
And yet...
CSIPGA's current traffic is practically double what we had five years
ago. Which says something about the lows this newsgroup reached at one
point. Why, it's practically BUSTLING in here now!
(That said, the total number of active users may have declined. We've
got fewer people saying more. I'm not sure if that's actually an
improvement or not)
More of a tight knit community :D
How do I know? I've got a spreadsheet of course!
Once upon a time, there was a website which kept stats on various
newsgroups, and one of the things it showed was the average number of
posts and total active users for a month. Unfortunately, the website
didn't last very long* but while it stayed up I kept track of
c.s.i.p.g.a's records. So in February 2019, the monthly average was 6
posts per day, with 15 unique users posting. I don't know what the
numbers are nowadays, but it seems we're doing close to 10 to 12
messages per day now; maybe more.
Personally, I point the finger at candycane; they're a prolific
poster. ;-)
Ah, I only post occasionally ^^"
If you really want a case of me inflating the activity, look at rec.arts.comics.creative
* only a matter of months, in fact, so my spreadsheet is _very_ short
;-)
