So.....

No more Beast Wars Forum, no more underused (formerly Professor Smooth's) Rumor Forum? Stick the Movie in with the Cartoon?


Sounds good to me!

No posts were lost- we're just experimenting with organisation so expect things to move around back and forth a little until we get something we're happy with :)

I agree. It's about right to make sure things are still separate-ish but forums are kept reasonably active.

How many real regulars are there left btw? 10? 11? :o

It must be around those numbers, but ussually it just feels like the same 5 guys over and over again.

As a point of fact from the 1st of october we have had 4,654 unique visitors.

Per day we usually get about 230 visitors, of which 60% are new. So we have about 138 'regulars', probably more like 100 adjusting for robots.

Hmm... I suppose my frasing was a bit bad. How many of these actually post a few times a week every month of the year?

I don't track data specifically for the board, mainly because due to topic delation/alteration dead links appear which throw long lists of errors.

It's something I may look into soon.

Regarding visitor loyalty for the site as a whole:

Image

Most people who visit tend to visit once or twice only however there is a considerable number of unique visitors who keep coming back (around 200). Whether they post here or not is something else.

Of course, some people might just visit once a month or once a fortnight. People with lives for instance. ;)

We have the technology... let's find out!

Image

Over 96% of people revisit within 3 days. Apparently a profound lack of lives on the Internet ;)

Note- Figures include people who only visit once.

As an aside, we have a very high bounce rate on certain pages (people who literally take one look and leave) so that's something to think about in the future- how can we better keep people on the site?

yeah! we can have some massively contrived and rather cringeworthy feature about Spike nailing birds in the back of Bumblebee! We can have pics of girls in their pants and everything! It will be, like, kewl!

What?

Cheers for the graphs, Karlos mi hombre. :)

Too bad we can't figure out how many peeps that posts with any kind of regularity tho. But I'm thinkin'.. a graph of the post-count percentage, combined with some deduction, could do the trick, yes?

Say what you want about that... But it's kept Ryan going like an engine of juggernautism. ^^

Now... anybody know if he's got Megan Fox up on that section..? Image
