Title: End of activity peak?
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on February 12, 2010, 04:42:16 pm
Mhmm I noticed that the high activity the forums had seems to be slowly coming to an end, traffic seems to be dropping slowly too... even when we had 4 days with 100+ posts each a few days ago, there were fewer active topics than the previous times we had such high post rates. Idk if it's cuz of the new OS being tested or the fewer projects updates (*Pokes calc84maniac*) but we seems to be going back to the activity of a year ago now. Is it because everyone is in exams or something?

I know I'd been pretty busy, so I havn't coded much on Elmgon.  I noticed the decrease too, and wondered like you did.  Hmm...

It's probably exams.
Hopefully things pick up again.

I hope it isn't my fault, I think this started around the time I started posting again D:

No, but seriously, I think activity will pick back up sometime here soon  ;)

Oh wow, ztrumpet is right  :o
Everybody, quick, make topics about inactive projects and such, it'll bring a bunch of activity!

Well, you know me, I always pop in and out.

Life's so weird. Getting used to things before they go ahead and change when I head to college in May.

I've been concentrating on Factory Series. And right now, I'm thinking about going back to the walking engine of TLM because, actually, I've learned a lot of new things from Builderboy's Factory and Ztrumpet's Factory Theta... Otherwise, I think I'm about the same as before...

May be, I guess it's because of a lot of asm products that are coming out, and we have no idea what they are about (for example, Eeems, Quigibo, etc...) not that they are bad, but for me, I have no idea what they are talking about... I tend not to post there X.X

Jsj, that's an awesome look at it.  I like that you learn from code, but also you arn't afraid to admit that Asm is not your forte (strong-point; Wait a minute-Is "forte" French? :D ).  Great outlook. :)

I hope you don't have summer school {AP} x.x

activity wise I also noticed I had half of the posts most days x.x. I used to have a bit under 20% of the forum posts and now I am getting closer and closer to 25 x.x. Maybe I'll be like Kerm on Cemetech, altough maybe not, since I doubt I could be able to post this much in a day x.x
Title: Re: End of activity peak?
Post by: {AP} on February 12, 2010, 11:32:44 pm
Yeah, I'll be in college over the summer.
If things go as planned, I'll be in constantly for about 2 years.

We'll have to just wait and see how things go.
I'll have a laptop and internet the whole time I'm there so other than the work, I won't have any excuse to not check up on the forums daily still.
Title: Re: End of activity peak?
Post by: miotatsu on February 12, 2010, 11:34:17 pm
i have been slightly less active because i decided to work on mastering brainfuck and writting an SAO xp calculator with it, and now i can't stop until i finish :X sadly i did not back it up often and it got deleted when my computer restarted itself to install updates ;.;
however it was a good reminder to me to keep my projects backed up frequently and all in all it will just give me more time to learn brainfuck which will make me a better programmer overall :D
also i have a study hall this quarter and that means that you can expect to see some progress on piworld again soon (the calc version)

I missed this topic. :S

Yeah, it seems calcmaniac projects can get a good share of traffic to Omnimaga. But we are getting many posts activity and new projects, too.
How is the traffic in the recent weeks?
Title: Re: End of activity peak?
Post by: ztrumpet on February 21, 2010, 11:50:47 am
To me, it's seemed to go back up in the last two/three days.
Title: Re: End of activity peak?
Post by: Builderboy on February 21, 2010, 01:20:04 pm
Yep, it seems the flux of traffic in and out of Omnimaga is a constantly shifting and morphing entity that can be neither predicted nor controlled O.o
Title: Re: End of activity peak?
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on February 21, 2010, 02:04:03 pm
Yeah I noticed activity suddently went up again.

From what I gather, we will most likely have less traffic this month and slightly less posts, especially that it's a 28 days month too, but unless I am wrong, it seems like it shifts from normal activity like we had on the old board in late 2006 and 2007, then suddently spike in the 100s a day.

The posts seem to be when there are interesting projects and progresses.
And when there is discussion still vigorous going on. Maybe it stabilizes after a while or when we get more members...
Title: Re: End of activity peak?
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on February 21, 2010, 02:35:22 pm
When there aren't a lot of projects updates, discussion tends to be focused on only a few topics and activity slowly goes down until projects progresses again. That makes me wonder, I hope calc84maniac posts some more F-Zero/Project M progress or maybe some Nspire stuff soon :P

Yeah, he has stopped the calc projects frenzy... Maybe *because* the POTY is only in the end of the year.

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on February 21, 2010, 06:18:11 pm
Lol, I doubt it. Knowing him, he's most likely busy atm, while working on a secret project like usual. Last year he came up with F-Zero, his raycaster and TI-Boy SE and they alerady had progress when he showed them. I wouldn't be surprised if he was currently messing around with Nspire stuff or rewriting Project M or F-Zero to run faster or something :P. Also IIRC he did some work on TI-Boy SE too at one point. Either way, those who don't frequent IRC often (or the logs) most likely missed those:

(http://otbp.tifreakware.net/images/n3d_01.png) (http://otbp.tifreakware.net/images/n3d_04.png)

(now you know from where the non-rendered 3D link in our new banner comes from :P. Note: the last one appears to have more than 16 shades of gray because he used dithering, also the FPS count is wrong. IIRC he said it was more like 70 instead of 100. I assume it would be much faster if he didn't use that many triangles)

Wow, that's awesome!  Calc84, if you're working on something secret then I'm sure it's great! ;D

That should give attention to Omnimaga forums again. ;D

I am also waiting for Brandon Wilson's secret project. See his website.
Title: Re: End of activity peak?
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on February 22, 2010, 01:16:56 pm
I am really curious what it is. I wouldn't be surprised if it was something big for the Nspire that works with ExtendeD's exploit or a new OS for either the Nspire or the TI-73, 83+, 84+ series

That is why I use very small font to hide.

SMF doesn't have a spoiler BBcode?
Maybe a quote or code box with font colour corresponding to the box do the job. I will try.

Small fonts shows in Opera. In opera text can't be under a certain size.


Unfortunately SMF has no spoiler BBcode but I could probably add some mod that adds one

I didn't remember some browser have minimum font size. Firefox minimum is not set by default but Opera is I think.
The spoiler modd would be useful.

Also quotes and codebox colour are theme dependent. :( We can't use it.

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on May 21, 2010, 12:52:24 am
Well, it definitively looks like the activity peak we had since Early March until Mid April has definitively arrived to an end. May 20th 2010 was the most inactive day since march 2nd 2010.

Are most people still into finals? I am not sure exactly when the average people end school and know some finished school recently.

I hope this is just temporary. Despite activity still being a lil higher than before March in general (and higher than other forums for the most part), half of our active members joined this community in 2010 and did not know Omnimaga as a less active place. We used to have 800-1400 posts a month and most members at the time were used to it and felt the board was somewhat active for a TI forum. However, the new members are used to 5000+ a month. From experience in the TI community, when a forum gets less activity (especially projects) for an extended period of time, regulars starts checking the board for new posts less times per day, then eventually check every few days or even once a week, then only reply to threads with replies in the last two or three days, afraid they might be seen as necroposting. In short term I am not too worried, because the site is still very active, especially project-wise, but since Summer Time is already much less active than the rest of the year, if our activity dropped a lot before Summer, then it is very hard to get all old members back when school restarts. Do you think an extended decline in activity could discourage some of the newer members?

Are the people who have been less active still interested as much toward calcs but just too busy? Or is there a decline in interest (due to delayed Ndless release or the like)?

I also wonder if it could be due to the recent increase in 500 Internal Server Errors? When posting, if you get that error, you can click "Back", copy your post, refresh the page then paste it, then try again and again until it works, but not everyone knows that, so they might be scared of posting because they migth lose their post.

Is it because the IRC post notifier bot (SpyBot45) is no longer working since over a month?

Is it because of the recent lack of features on ticalc.org?

Just something I,ve been wondering, because every week I hear people saying "YAY! Finished school!", yet those people barely show any sign of life for the weeks afterward.
Title: Re: End of activity peak?
Post by: Builderboy on May 21, 2010, 12:55:03 am
For me specificaly its because of Finals. I dont graduate until June 16th so I still have a bit of school left.  And they arnt making it easy on us x.x

Yeah, school is still in session for a lot of folks. I know a guy who doesn't get out until like the end of June. Also, for the people who declared school's out and then disappeared, it's probably for one of two reasons:
1) They immediately went off on vacation.
2) They're relaxing and de-stressing from the hectic chaos that is always Finals Week

Furthermore, I really don't see any correlation between activity on omnimaga and features on ticalc. Could you elaborate?

Post by: jsj795 on May 21, 2010, 12:59:32 pm
After finishing all the AP tests, I found myself faced with the finals, presentations, and other works given by the teachers...
Also, my friend burrowed my calculator because he lost his (and he's one of my best friend, so I couldn't refuse. I do math with TI 89). So atm, there's no progress...

Post by: ztrumpet on May 21, 2010, 03:26:07 pm
I'm still in school and will be for the next 3ish weeks.  The teachers are working us pretty hard.  I think it's exams and the end of school for most people. :)

The last time ticalc.org started being uptight about what deserves a feature and what doesn't, people started thinking no more good programs were coming out and it somehow affected activitity on every forum.

I wouldn't worry to much Omni, we're still going very strong. Also, that activity spike was pretty massive, so I don't think people will expect activity to always stay that high. :D

Title: Re: End of activity peak?
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on May 22, 2010, 05:53:42 pm
Mhmm, wouldn't it be the other way around Madskillz? Summer goes from June 21st to September 21st, meaning you would normally be less active when June starts. Maybe they should rename your Summer class to Spring class :P

@Ztrumpet, personally I dont really get excited when one day in particular we get like 250 posts then the other days under 100. Sometimes it's just a coincidence causing everyone to come online that day. I look more at the average of the week personally. That said activity is still rather high compared to some years. I hope projects continue progressing though, since this is what people come here for most of the time.

Well speaking for myself, as I posted in my topic about why I wouldn't be posting much, it is because of school. Or was haha. I was having finals, presentations, and then on top of that just a lot of personal drama stuff that never makes things easier. I still probably won't be as active as I was for the next week though just because I'm going to try to be catching up on A LOT of long deserved sleep and just trying to relax now that I've graduated. I'm sorry I haven't been on here as much and such, to everyone, but I plan to be back to full posting and work on my calculator stuff as soon as possible. O0

-Well I'm done with my college classes, and since I was done in the first week of May, my summer class started the second week of may. I get a month off to work on a final project and then come back to finish the class up in July. This is my last class and I graduate, which is good and bad in many ways. But I'm looking forward to being done at least for one year.

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on August 17, 2011, 02:20:09 pm
Hmm I wonder if this could be a bad sign... O.O

Activity increase in 2011 compared to 2010, per month

Aug16     1.29%
July     22.77%
June     23.12%
May     155.99%
April   107.61%
March   237.99%
February384.24%
January 399.77%


Note that the Ndless era started at the end of Feb 2010 so maybe Jan and Feb are irrelevant. Also in July 2010 and July 2011 there were several downtimes and in July 2011 a bunch of people could not access the site for weeks due to the 400 Bad Request issue. This could have affected the stats.

What kinda worries me, though, is that Cemetech also seems to have lower activity this Summer than last year, even with DCS out.

I'm guessing mid-september or so there's prolly going to be a bunch of new people with 84s, prizms, nspires; hopefully with projects of their own after a while :)

Yeah, well my concern was more that during this part of Summer 2011, there seemed to be fewer active people than during Summer 2010, so I was wondering if Fall 2011 would have the same level of activity as Fall 2010.

A possible reason for a decrease in activity may be due to the fact that there's not an active Axe competition...I dunno, I just feel like Axe is the language that really gets people posting and crap like that.
Title: Re: End of activity peak?
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on August 18, 2011, 12:30:26 pm
There was one ??? (part #1 of the contest)

Actually during the previous competition we reached 400 posts in a day a few times, which did not happen during this year's competition. What I think is a lot of the Nspire people went less active because Ndless keeps being blocked and is not available for OS 3.0 due to TI and Lua is too limited to do stuff such as   textured 3D engines. As for the 83+, we have to remember that last year Axe was still new and it attracted lots of people. Now it has been around for a while so while people still uses it, it doesn't have its "new effect". It's like when a new store opens and the first few days it's crowded as hell.

Yeah, I'm assuming ndless 3.0 is in progress, at least I hope so. Color gbc4Nspire would be pretty cool :P

O.O

Looks like we're at half of our daily average compared to last March now. D: (although still way above the pre-Ndless/Axe era)

Maybe Ndless 3.1 (and an e-mail to all members informing them of the release) will fix that, though. I would post more but I've been busier lately. I'm curious what's happening with people such as z80man, mrmprog, pianoman, shmibs, JustCause (isn't he back at school with net access by now?), ephan and a few others?

pianoman wrote quite a few good Nspire Lua games... I do hope he comes back, although he was last active in October.

Hmm... Maybe we need more games? Speaking of which, I notice cyanophycean314 has made Hangman...

Well a few people where working on Tiny Craft (mine craft for calc) and I think that could become potential a pretty big thing O.O

Yeah, if that works out, it could make some news and if it is realllly good, it might draw a peak in attention (like with nDoom, but on a smaller scale).

Yeah, hopefully some releases of cool games will get some more activity going. :)

/me starts porting more mini games to Grammer/ASM
Also, do we have an Axe BGMG coder?

Well we are waiting for Ndless 3.1 and we regularly post news about it, I guess it holds some people from leaving.

What is BGMG? ???
Title: Re: End of activity peak?
Post by: Xeda112358 on January 17, 2012, 08:30:04 pm
BGMG=Board Game Makers Guild
What happened is that it appeared that a few of us all thought of the same board games at the same time, so a bunch of board games have recently been made in Lua, Grammer, and I believe Axe has a few. As a joke, we mentioned Board Game Makers Guild, and maybe it will stick :)

This sucks, but can't he access internet from school? Or did parents ordered teachers to block him from computers?

I can't wait until he turns 18 so he can move away.

:( No access to computers must be having a big impact on Justcause. Hope He's ok.
I just turned 17 and realised that I don't have long to go either.
Also it is a challenge for me trying to answer some posts and making my answer sound relevant, as I haven't been active in programming and stuff. So maybe when I turn 18 I have some more time to get all that sorted.
