ELynah Forum by the numbers

I don't get caught up in analytics. ELynah and the forum are going to do what they're going to do and they seem to be just fine, but it's time for my annual peek at the numbers.

Posted from my Droid.

I.e. I still think I would be happier with an iPhone and also wonder if I could spell i.e. at the beginning of this sentence without upper case i if I had an iPhone.

That's pretty incredible. I think I viewed from about 8 different countries this year myself. I also wonder which country my visits from CERN were credited to, since it's technically not in Switzerland or France...

You'd have to click off the autocorrect box, but it's at least possible.

That leaves 5%. How many Linux?

I did some rounding. Actually about 72.5 and 23.5%. 2.33% Linux. .5% Android, .4% iPhone .4% BlackBerry... >0.00% Playstation 3

Heh, probably all me and JTW.

Thank you again Age for all your work on this -- it's a great addition to the Lynah fan experience.

I know I viewed it from Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, and Panama.

My list: UK, Canada, France, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, and US - could only come up with 7, actually.

Me from work has to be a good portion of the Linux total.

Big numbers. Good numbers. Even better than Yale's numbers on offense.

We can't break down metrics for how many of our posts are from work, right?

Well, there's the little donate button to the right that could probably help discourage Age from doing so!

Out of curiosity, how do the numbers compare from the same time last year? Might be able to partial out just how many basketball-bandwagoners the site received.

I can't do a direct comparison because I screwed up the bit of code for analytics while working on the page and didn't have numbers from the beginning of the year to the middle of October in 2008. But for Oct 19 2009-Mar 31 2010 compared to the previous year, visits are up 1.57%. Interestingly, pageviews are actually down 30%, almost entirely due to, I'd guess, the relative elimination of game threads. These numbers don't include Chat or the main ELynah site, incidentally.

Edit: Replaced the map with one excluding US and Canada, because, well, duh.

Looks like Robb has been busy.

I'm guessing that if you did one for calendar year 2008, Germany would be a lot darker.

...and I predict there will be a whole lot fewer UK hits next year.

What, nothing from Ecuador? I'm pretty sure I logged in from there last summer a few times.

I just realized I might be able to take credit for Hungary.

SPAIN! YOU ARE DEAD TO ME.

And the leader in Africa? Ethiopia. Hunh.
