Things appear to be very slow here in terms of new posts... is anyone keeping track of overall Gemini activity?

I think this is a result of warmer days… I have a little motivation to do/write something on fist warm days and usually start spending more time on a bike.

I'll do you one better: here are day-by-day breakdowns of BBS activity over the past year. Looks like after the initial 1-2 months of higher activity, posting and commenting have been pretty stable. Interestingly, the charts show some clear cycles of increasing and decreasing activity, especially in the total posts+comments count.

@skyjake: Thanks, that is very interesting. Do you post this data regularly somewhere?

Lots of places are experiencing really excellent weather. BBS is great, but some months its gotta compete with BBQ. :)

@stack No, posting this regularly would require setting up some sort of a scripted way to generate the graphs. This was a manual job...

While somewhat interesting, I don't see much point in following the activity graphs excep for the occasional peek like this.

@skyjake, understood re graphs. Do you make the data available? Anyway, thank you for the nice graph.

The only statistics currently available is this:

I'll consider adding some of this there, but don't hold your breath. 🙂
