Topic: [CHARTS] Brief monthly overview of the local boards activity - page 9. (Read 21078 times)

I appeared there again, this time in 7th place on the Portuguese local board. This month of December was really good, I was on vacation and I thought I hadn't participated as much. Next month I will try to improve my ranking a little, the difficult part is maintaining the consistency of writing quality things. It's very challenging.

Congratulations @joker_josue for top 1 on our local board.

I'm sure there will be many changes in posting behavior in the January report, I've started to notice this since the first week of January: Changes Discussion Behavior in Forum. But that's normal because most gambling campaigns require posting in certain threads. But I don't know whether this condition will have a big impact on the local board or not


Maybe you need to gamble to find a topic that is interesting enough... lol 

Well, I just had to make 4 more posts and keep first place. 

I think December was actually a good month. The month of January is also being interesting, we will see the final results.

Since majority of those who were in mixer signature campaigns found their spots elsewhere I don't expect a big decrease. Having said that, I do somehow feel that its harder to find interesting topics lately but I don't know is it just me and I am less interested in forum at the moment or there's an actual change. 


You see, this is what happens when I rush with these overviews.  Anyway, thanks for letting me know, its been sorted now.

What will also be interesting to see is how January 2024 behaves once the month is over, bearing in mind the readjustments in campaigns/participants that have taken place after the ban on mixer campaigns, which might lead to seeing some changes in the information shown. That’s something you’re already looking at and commenting in the monthly update, so let’s see if anything worth highlighting comes up with the next update.

Note: Spanish Local board active member list seems to have been left blank for December 2023.

Edit:
Cheers.

I probably should have released this overview before the yearly one, but it is what it is now, next time I'll do it like that. Either way, just before end of the month overview is here and as usual it was made using data provided by @DdmrDdmr Merit Dashboard and @TryNinja Ninjastic.space which I suggest to check if you want more in depth overview of the each local board.

Communities marked with * (Pakistan, Bangladesh) don't have their own local boards but that's something I hope will change this year.

Post activity per local board during December 2023

During December 22544 posts were written across 18 local boards that are part of the overview, which is a small decrease (~6%) compared to the month before (23958). As usual, Russian board ha sbeen by far the most active one and once again going over 6k mark (this feat is even more impressive considering the fact that they have to use VPN in order to access bitcointalk), followed by Turkish and Nigerian local boards while Portuguese and German close the top 5. On the other side, Romanian, Greek and Polish local boards remain and the bottom and far away from the next closest local board, in this month Arabic.

Speaking of change in activity, majority of local boards remained pretty similar to previous month (generally a bit fewer posts) with only French local board having more significant drop of ~40% (from 512 to
312).

Active members per local board during December 2023

In the previous month 1526 local board members wrote at least 1 post which is very similar to November's numbers (1531). Naturally, Russian board is leader in this chart as well, with Nigerian board at the 2nd and Indonesian local board at the 3rd place while at the other side standard names are at the bottom of the chart.

---

Local board members per amount of posts during December 2023

In the "1 post" bracket, Greek board is leader with 50% of members writing only 1 post, followed by Arabic (48%) and Polish (46%) local boards. At the same time, Indonesian board has only 12% of such members, while Nigerian has 15% and Pilipinas with 17%.

Regarding 2-9 posts bracket, Pilipinas board is the leader with 44%, followed closely by German (43%) and Greek (42%). On the other side, Arabic has only 19% of such members, followed by Croatian and Romanian boards with 20% each.

When it comes to 10+ posts bracket, Polish board is the leader with 54%, followed by Pakistan (50%) and Croatian (48%) local boards. Likewise, Greek local board has only 8% of such members, Spanish has 24%) and French with 26%.

---

Merit shared per local board during December 2023

During above mentioned period 7916 merit was shared across local boards which is a small decrease (~5%) compared to November which makes sense as number of posts decreased in the similar percentage. Leader is once again Russian local board with 1787 merit which is not a surprise given their post number, while Indonesian board is not that far ahead with 1459 merit while Nigerian board was at 3rd (1273). At the bottom is Greek board with only 1 merit shared, while other standard names are there as well.

---

Merit/Post ratio per local board during December 2023

Regarding the merit/post chart, Romanian board is at the top with 1.16, while Arabic is at the 2nd spot and had 1.1 and Spanish at 3rd with 0.97. When it comes to the botton, no surprise to see Greek there since they shared only 1 merit in the above mentioned period while several others like Indian, Pilipinas and Turkish are imho undemerited as well.

---

Merit senders and receivers per local board during December 2023

During December 519 members sent merit in one of the local boards while 578 members received merit which is again not too far away from November's numbers (537/591). Boards are arranged based on the amount of merit shared and the one that once again sticks out is Pilipinas board which is in my opinion the most undermerited board among the more active ones and that goes for quite some time.

---

Percentage of merited posts across local boards during December 2023

Like in the November, Romanian board is once again at the top with 50% of the posts being merited which is a very high percentage, but something like that is possible only for less active boards. Spanish board is second with also very high 40% and Polish local board with 34%. Onc again Greek is at the bottom with only 2% posts getting merited (to be more specific only 1 post) and Pilipinas and Turkish also having very low percentage of merited posts.

---

Merit per transaction across local boards during December 2023

And last in this series of charts, merit per transaction chart that gives as a little bit more info on each board's merit sharing habits, and no surprise that boards with highest merit per post ratio also has usually high merit per transaction ratio.

The most active members per local board during December 2023

And in the end of this month's overview, top 10 most active members per local board. After a long time, we have a new the most active member BVeyron who wrote 258 posts in Russian local board and who narrowly beat usual name at the top, joker_josue from Portuguese local board who wrote 255 posts and at the 3rd spot is another member from Russian local, The0ldl_lser who wrote 238 posts.

Yes. I do not care if a group of people leave the community for their benefit. They were participating in the local community because they thought they could get some unfair advantage which they had already. A couple of accounts spammed the entire thread with copy-paste news and auto translations and did some merit abuse too. I had to step up and expose a few of them and luckily it worked. Several members didn't come back to the local thread after that. Some of them write once a week. They have used out thread to rank up and once they joined the signature campaign, they slowly left our thread. Never mind, we have a peaceful thread right now.

No. We haven't contacted the admins. We have a old local board request thread which was created by BitcoinDream. The community bumped it time to time but then we decided to wait more and grow our community a little more. But, I guess the time has come already and we should create a new thread or update the old one.

270% more posts compared to year earlier is indeed a massive growth, but what's even more important is that you said that your local board looks cleaner and that post quality increased. Having good numbers is of course important but imho what's even more important is to have quality discussions if you want to get your own local board any day.

By the way, has anyone from your local board contacted theymos/cyrus lately?

I consider this as a massive growth. Bangladesh community was full of one-liners, spammers, and news copy-paste. Fortunately, things started changing after I posted it here and there. I have reported to two merit sources and asked them to review those guys carefully. I have threatened them by revealing all their abusive behavior and the result is impressive. Suddenly, everything stopped. The activity decreased a little bit but I don't think the community regrets that.

Bang! I was the person encouraging my locals to write at least one post per day in our local thread. I followed this for a while until I noticed there was something fishy going on. So, I already knew that I had posted a lot and was likely to be the top poster of the year (by number). The community is growing every day and I hope we will have our local board at some point.

I don't know. I can't promise anything, with new projects emerging, time starts to get shorter.
But, I will continue to do my best. 

Cheers bud. 1 overview down, 3 more to go (yearly overview for my local board + 2 overviews for December 2023). Let's see if I can make all of them by the end of the month.


Yep. Situation wasn't that bad considering the bear market and since 2024 should be better than 2023, I do expect better numbers.


I think I am pretty consistent with my inconsistencies


Let's see if you can keep the title of the most active local board member 3rd time in a row.

Congratulations on the excellent work done in collecting and compiling this data.

Congratulations to all members of this forum, for continuing to participate and maintain Bitcointalk as the main reference in the world of Bitcoin (and cryptocurrencies).

Very well done my friend.
Very nice overview. Thank you for this invaluable work, you made with great effort and great quality.

Local board rocks. Now we raised the bar and we need to keep the ball rolling in 2024!
A s far as the Italian board is concerned, we see ample room for improvement, and we are trying to fill this gap to the potential.


I see some inconsistencies here.

Your reward is that your are being mentioned in this overview, and feeling of pride that you helped keeping our local board alive. 

Where do I send the address for my top 10 award? Is it again a silver statue like last year or? 

Like I did for 2022, I've decided to publish the overview for the last year as well. In the majority of charts I added 2022 data as well so we can get a better idea how boards progressed/regressed compared to year before.

All charts and tables were made using data from @DdmrDdmr Merit Dashboard and @TryNinja Ninjastic.space. Communities marked with * don't have their own local board as of yet but I hope that by the time I make the next overview they will get their own (well deserved I might add) local boards so they can develop their communities further.

Post activity per local board during 2023

During the last year 214527 posts were made across 18 local boards/communities, which is decent increase compared to the previous year's numbers (193837). Like the last year, Russian board has been by far the most active one, followed once again by Turkish and German local boards.

While majority of boards had decreased amount of posts last year, several boards managed to grow substantially, name Nigerian with almost 400% growth and Bangladesh with 270% increase. With the bull market coming, hopefully 2024 numbers will be much bigger than the last year's one.

---

Active members per local board during 2023

During above mentioned period 5780 members wrote at least one post in one of the local boards which is a slight decrease compared to 2022 numbers (5960). Once again, Russian board had the most active members, followed by German and Nigerian local boards. Like with the post chart, majority of boards had the decreased amount of active members and the only sticking out is Nigerian board with ~230% increase.



And to get a little bit better overview of the situation, here is the chart with members divided by the amount of posts they wrote. As expected, in all local boards group 1-9 posts bracket dominates meaning majority of members are not reall regulars which is how it usually goes on other forums too.

---

Merit shared per local board during 2023

Even though number of posts decreased, that didn't happen with merit; during last year 93118 merit was shared across local boards which is a noticeable increase compared to 2022 numbers (71009). Naturally, many local boards had the increase of the amount of merit shared (especially the less active ones), but Indonesian had by far the biggest increase, from 4029 to 13237 which is 230% increase.

---

Merit/Post ratio per local board for 2023

Despite the drop of the post number and increase of the merits shared, merit/post ratio didn't go up as much as you would think. Once again Arabic had the highest ratio, followed by Romanian and Spanish local boards. While during last year's overview Indonesian board ended in in the bottom half, this time they managed to end up with the 4th highest ratio, while few other local boards had a big increase as well ((Indian, Bangladesh).

---

Merit senders and receivers per local board during 2023

During above mentioned period 1363 members sent merit while 1838 received, which is an increase compared to 2022 ( 1098 members sent merit, 1963 members received). Once again Pakistan and Bangladesh are missing from this chart as I only have the info for those who have local board status.

---

The most active members per local board during 2023

Last but not the least, the list of the most active members across local boards during 2023. Like in 2022, the most active one was joker_josue from Portuguese local board with 3310 posts followed by two members from Russian local board, Smartprofit (2921) and  Julien_Olynpic (1919). Gj guys, keep it up!

That was the way to get the information, thank you. The first is impossible, because it is a bot. But, the second is achievable.

I'll see how these first weeks of the year go, and then I'll see if I accept this challenge of coming second in 2024. 

Its there in ninjastic.space and you can watch it live, just chose the timeframe and clicl on "User" tab. Last year ChartBuddy was the leader with 8258 posts while you were 5th with 5038 (2nd was not that far away, only ~500 posts so that's something that you can aim for in this year  .

I was looking for these numbers per user, that is, how many posts each user made this year.

I remember seeing this somewhere, now I don't know if it was in some statistics processed at the end of a year or it was something "live".

There's a general downtrend, but it's not like the decline in activity was constant year-on-year, i.e. 2022 was slightly better than 2020. But yeah, dropping below 2 million would be the worst result since 2012, so it's getting slightly concerning. But maybe it's just a natural cycle, Bitcoin is no longer a novelty and there are now plenty of other places it can be discussed, so bitcointalk is no longer the first place to go with any btc-related questions.
