In this thread, hyperpape asked about posting statistics over the lifetime of L19. I decided that would be an interesting thing to find out and so I decided to do so.

Feel free to draw and discuss your own conclusions. From looking at the Posts Per Day chart, it doesn't seem to me that we've experienced the big drop in posting that some are claiming. It may be a bit on the low side, but it doesn't seem like anything abnormal.

Anyway, I hope you find these charts as interesting as I do. I've attached the data used to generate the graphs at the bottom of this post in case you're interested. (Side note: For some reason, the board doesn't allow .txt attachments ). If you have any questions about the data or want to see the data broken down in some other way feel free to ask.

Preliminary statistics:
Date range: Dec 5, 2009 - September 9, 2011
Total number of posts scanned: 76453

No understanding of what is now, no knowledge of what will be.

It looks like a lot of people post at work.
