It's been 2 months since I last updated it, so bi-monthly wouldn't be a bad idea, but I'd keep it up for the monthly report because it makes more sense that way.

IMO, it's still better to update it every 2 months than not to do it at all. LOL
For people who care about forum stats, merit and any activity on local board then I think they probably already know how to calculate it so far. Merit Dashboard and Ninjastic.space are two really helpful tools, so it probably wouldn't be a problem if the OP only had time to update them every 2 months.

But if someone takes the initiative to do so and updates it monthly, then I think the OP would welcome it. I don't think he'll be mad about it, but surely someone might need permission to hijack the thread. LOL

OP submits his monthly reports on time. I was referring to[CHARTS] Monthly Overview Of The Unofficial Nigeria Local Board📈 which I'm in charge of, it has been extremely helpful in our quest for a local board; we got our thread pinned after Cyrus noticed our activity on the thread. We gained little visibility after the thread was pinned, new members are joining up on a daily basis.

As I previously stated, I will devote my time until we achieve our goal and more

I've been slacking for nearly two months now since I last updated the Nigeria local board weekly activities. I shifted it from a weekly to a monthly report, but I'm still falling behind. When I get some free time this week, I'll try to update it from where I left off.

Tbh, weekly overview was an overkill so good decision to do it on a monthly basis instead. Since you are failing that as well maybe you should think about doing it on a bi-monthly basis.

I believe our outside forum groups significantly slow down our activities, particularly for me. But I'm glad that, despite the ups and downs, so many members are still committed to our thread and activities.

It sucks when real life obligations get in a way of our forum activity. Cheesy

I always had an issue with finding the balance when it comes to forums as for me was either I'll spend few hours every day, or I won't show up for a couple of days at all. Lately its been the latter for me.

I'm stuck between two projects I'm running on discord and telegram, which is why I've been less active on the forum for the past few months, and, as you said, finding balance is difficult, especially when the kids still need your attention. Lol.

How are deleted posts treated on Ninjastic? I tough about using max(0,posts) but i wasn’t sure it was the right thing to do. Very different results were on ratings of analysing at board or sub board level.

Ninjastic counts deleted posts so you get inflated numbers and that's the main reason why I was trying to avoid it while making these overviews, but since Russian board numbers got consistently screwed due high amount of deleted/moved old posts I started using that instead of merit dashboard. Unfortunately there's no perfect solution for this, and majority of local boards don't have a lot of spam anyway so in the end numbers are not that much inflated.

I find it quite interesting, even if the results are skewed by some heavy post deletion in Russian and Chinese sections.

Yep, interesting chart. Maybe issue with Chinese and Russian board post deletion could be sorted by using data for those two boards from ninjastic space?

I will give it a try.

Hey @Rikafip. Stop Slacking! Where have you gone? How comes that it is almost the end of the month, and we both haven't published our graphs (yet??)

You are absolutely right, I am seriously slacking. First I was procrastinating at the beginning of the month when I had plenty of free time but then things got really hectic at work and on top of that I got sick. But as they say that kick in the ass is one step forward so thanks for the reminder. Grin

I will try to publish the charts this week and if not, hopefully by Tuesday (May 31st).

I also need Fillippone in my life, someone who will remind me that I have work to do. I've been slacking for nearly two months now since I last updated the Nigeria local board weekly activities. I shifted it from a weekly to a monthly report, but I'm still falling behind. When I get some free time this week, I'll try to update it from where I left off.

Excellent work Rika, For the second month in a row, I did not make the list of how the mighty have fallen. Grin

Ah, now I get it. Not a bad idea (and something I would like to see too) but goal of this topic is to compare local boards and not to compare how they perform against the forum in general. As I said before, I wanted to to keep this overview brief and its already kinda too big so I am not so inclined to add even more charts. But I will definitely think about it and maybe include it in one of the future overviews.

Thanks to a @ddmrddmr intervention, I was able to produce something:

My idea is to assess the level of activity in the local boards.

So, the first idea to determine how lively the “local boards ecosystem is”, would be to calculate the ratio between the number of posts in the local boards, as a whole, to the number of posts in the forum.

The second indicator would be the same ratio, but considering merits. So it would be merits in all the local boards over the merits across the whole forum.

Hope this clarifies.

Maybe I don't understand your mambo italiano english, but isn't this already provided in his reports?
You can clearly see number of posts for most members in local boards, and there is information about merit statistics as well.

I can’t see the total numbers of merits of local boards, over the total merits in the forum: “Which percentage of merits has been distributed on local boards last month?”

Also:

“Which percentage of posts has been distributed on local boards last month?”

Yep, he has been without campaign for quite some time so its natural to write less, or maybe he is without the campaign because he can't be bothered to be as active as before. After all, its perfectly normal to take a break from forum every once in a while. If anything, someone else will have a chance to become the most active member of our local board

I read it like 10 times and honestly I do not understand what kind of chart you have in mind. To compare total amount of posts in local boards vs general board as a whole or local boards vs all other boards? Or something completely different?

I think it would be a nice addition to the thread a graph summarising the posts in a single month gathered by the local boards as opposed to the general board.
The same graph was done for posts.
What do you think? I tried to gather similar graphs to help draw, but I miserably failed on finding how to export the data.
So two simple graph lines:

local post/forum posts
local merits/forum merits

And for the end of this monthly overview, list of those that are keeping their boards active. Once again joker_josue retained his title and with 294 posts he was the most active members across all local boards. GG!

Very good report once again, and I believe that summer time and hot weather usually means decreasing in forum activity in this period, so I am not really worried about that.
But bad news for our local section is that our undisputed champion is below his average number of posts and that is going to be even lower in your next reports... because he made last post in May 18th Tongue

If we are already counting fifth month, May, as summer month and as an excuse for a smaller number of posts and a drop in activity, then what can we expect in the next 4-5 months Grin

I think that summer and vacations don't play a big role in the decline of activities on this forum, but that it is a long-term trend that started a few years ago.
Personally, I do not believe that this trend can be stopped or reversed because it is obvious that the younger generations prefer some other ways of communicating on the Internet.
As for our local champion from the Croatian part of the forum, we obviously have to help him find the signature campaign as soon as possible, otherwise the local statistics will be even worse Grin

Thank you for this overview Rikafip. Sadly the decrease is also evident in my local 'thread' (Nigerian local thread), from last months review we had around 348 post activity on our local thread, but we are down to 209 this month, that is a large decrease of around 139 post from last month; i really can't state the reason why, we had a couple of public holidays in our country this month, lol, so prolly users were rather spending time with their families than posting on the forum Grin

, or maybe it was just as a result of the reduction of the number of active users on our local thread, from 34 (last month) to 29 (this month).

It is a big decrease but your numbers are still good imho, especially considering the fact that you are writing everything in one topic. If you can keep these numbers in the long run I am sure that you will eventually get your own local board. You just have to be patient and keep bumping that request topic of yours.

Whichever is the reason, i sincerely hope the thread is more active for the month of June, as we seek to get our official local board, low activity is the last thing we want in our local thread (i myself also have to do better too Cool

). Good report once again mate.
