250000 posts since May 2005 & new yearly record for 2011
« on: October 07, 2011, 12:16:13 am »
Tonight Omnimaga forums have reached 250K messages if we count the 56000+ messages we had on Invisionfree. If we only include the messages from this SMF forum, Omnimaga is heading towards 200000!

Although activity has dropped since last Fall, September 2011 still managed to be the second most active September month in Omnimaga history, with close to 8000 messages, down from 9325 last year but far above September 2007's 2025 messages. In addition to that, because of the high activity last Winter, Spring and a still quite high level of it right now, 2011 marks a new record of new messages in one year, breaking last year's record of 87232 with still a few months to go. Last year shattered the old 2006 record of 30132 posts in a year.

Monthly posting statistics (since Mar 3rd '04)
Daily post graphic (since Aug 25th '08)
More statistics

After the Ndless craze in Early 2010 which lasted until OS 3.0.1 release, the TI-Nspire scene kind of stagnated afterward, despite the arrival of Lua, since a lot of Nspire users were Ndless users or programmers, and since Ndless and TI-Nspire news was our second biggest source of traffic after the TI-83+ series, this had a big impact on Omnimaga forum life in overall. However, since the past few months, there have been an increasingly higher focus on calculator development and programming discussion, which kinda balances things out in some ways. We hope that in the future the site (and the rest of the TI and Casio community) maintains such level of activity and releases.

Happy 250,000th post Omnimaga!

2011 has been the most active year ever and it isn't even over :)

I hope future advancements continue to drive user activity here ever higher.

Lolk :P

Also the good news is that even if September 2011 is less active than 2010, if we remove all posts I've made each month, September 2011 actually had more activity, so this means the userbase still grew up. :D

                     2010   2011
Jan                     1948   8766
Feb                     1906   8476
Mar                     3913   10836
Apr                     3728   9977
May                     3128   9825
Jun                     5386   7906
Jul                     5215   7738
Aug                     6155   7211
Sep                     7115   7610
Oct                     9579   
Nov                     10211   
Dec                     9414   
TOTAL                     67698   78345

I almost made 20000 posts alone in 2010! O.O

Well I guess it's positive that the total without my posts is higher than when I was more active, although my lower activity did have an impact for sure.

THis is far less bad than in 2007, though. In 2007, with me around we averaged at 2000 posts a month, but when I was missing, we averaged at 600.

Also Yunhua98 what ever happened to the Aug/Sept CGPN (which was supposed to include TI-Nspire/Prizm contest results from the news as well)? O.O

Also I just noticed yesterday we had our first 400+ post day since last June 28th. At least that's good considering OmnomIRC is down and that a lot of people used OmnomIRC to be notified of new posts.

Since it's October, though, I'm betting a lot of the new posts will be necroposts O.O (like last year)
