Just played a few hands of blackjack...quadrupled up...now everyone will be a winner!

there!

$1000 to every participant for me being a dickhead! Enjoy!

Whatever, I felt compelled to respond since it was directed at me, and you seemed to be putting emphasis on it. I may be a loser compared to some of the people on this board, but you sure as hell aren't one of them.

I just found some posts in my car, and they're mostly for me. I want a recount.

I was being very sarcastic in that post. I apologize, I certainly don't think you're a loser...especially not compared to someone who is excited every time he sees he has more than $100 in his checking account...

Shit, don't think for a second that I've never been there myself, it isn't much fun. Likewise, I apologize for taking a shot at what you do for a living, any job is a respectable one.

There's just nothing wrong with staying home on New Year's Eve...they call it amateur night for a reason. And you were right, those of us that were here did post more than normal because of it, so props are in order for taking that into consideration.

I look forward to the part of my personal maturation that allows me to stop going out...my friends and I were playing Rock Band and downed a case of beer and didn't get to the bars until around 11 PM last night. I think I was having more fun playing Rock Band...plus the quantity of champagne I downed caused me to have a killer headache all day...and after this post we're all going out for round 2! I hate being home for the Holiday's...I'm a sucker for peer pressure...can't turn down a beer. Or 10.

I was young once and did all the same shit. I don't know if it's so much as maturation as I still like to party, it's more about me having way too much to lose now so I can't take the risk. Hell, even if you're out there completely sober you can still get caught up in someone elses stupidity.

ROFL

So the two sad things are that 1) I took 10 minutes to do a semi-close estimate and 2) still got smoked by Hootie's guess.

(Basically copied 7 pages of the main forum into a spreadsheet, tallied the posts in those threads, omitting some of the old ones that had been bumped and added 90% of that total to the amount in DaFace's beginning count).

Thanks for the consolation prize, DaFace.

Man, Pioli and Co have really jump started this year in terms of post count! We're currently at about 75% more posts for the year than we were at this point last year. Here's a nifty graph for the math geeks out there.

So what happened in September-October of last year? Was it DC traffic? That slope was steeper than any other regular season on record.

If you look carefully, you can see the draft every year after 2002.

The slope during the season in 2002 was almost the same as the slope of the season in 2003. The big difference between 2002 and 2003 was that the slope during off season in 2003 was nearly equal to the slope during the season. 2003 was the first year that CP became a year around board in a big way.

If the slope that we saw last season holds, we've entered a new era of Chiefs planet.

My hypothesis is that it's a result of the new server. In past years, gamedays were somewhat limited by the server's capacity. Now that the cap has been lifted, so to speak, people can stick around here to talk about the games rather than splitting time with other boards and/or getting frustrated and walking away entirely.

I'm wondering that myself. I certainly think that this offseason's activities have sparked an interest level in discussing the team in that we've not seen before. It'll be interesting to see if that holds through the rest of the year. Could a one-million-post year be in our future? :hmmm:

But...the planet is dying...it's not what it used to be...it's gone to shit since phil left....

Hey DaFace, what happened to the stats that used to be on the forum index page?

We started having intermittent freezes around here a month or so ago. I hypothesized that one of its queries was the cause, so I disabled it. The freezes seem to have gone away, so I think that may have been it. I may still try out a new version of it at some point though.

Oh, if it was causing freeze ups then **** it, it wasn't that important.

That's kind of what I figured. I may try and mess with it at some point in the future. It's kinda fun when it works.

If you unlock the Beryllium thread, I guarantee a 1,000,000 post year.

I came back though, so Armageddon is on hold at least temporarily. :)

Why was it locked in the first place?

I have no clue.

Its a repository for all things Beryllium.

I guess someone doesn't like Beryllium.

Looks like Dartgod closed it (he has mod powers in CasinoPlanet). It was probably mucking up the forum and got in the way once the season started.

Since it's the offseason, though, I'll open it back up - just for you. It'll probably get closed or moved again once the season comes back around.

Awesome. This is good news. Somebody inform Simplex!

I'm not sure what's changed, but this place is rockin' compared to last year. Here's the latest graph:

http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/1144/stats0418.png

At the end of Q1, we had 284,290 posts, which puts us on a pace of over 1.1 million posts for the year. Of course, we'll probably slow down a bit in the summer and speed up a bit in the fall, but overall it seems clear that this offseason isn't near as slow as previous years around here. We're currently (as of April 18) at 334,989 posts, which is a whopping 36% increase over our previous best-year at this point of 2007.

Its probably DCS

it's because my xbox broke

Also, here's a graph showing the number of users who log in on an average day:

It's a bit deceiving since people don't have to log in to lurk, but it's interesting nonetheless. Basically, we've got about the same number of people logging in as in 2007, but people are posting more. I agree - I blame DCS.

You didn't notice the 8 million noobs?

(The stat wasn't tracked in the early years of vBulletin.)

Can you do an April to April Graph for all the years?

This

pretty much

i came back also

Herm and Carl getting fired? :shrug:

Well, me going from lurking to posting again added about 60 posts a day... :)

My posting has increased quite a bit in the last year, I'd guess.

This takes quite a bit more effort, so I probably won't do it very often, but here ya go.

You can definitely see a change in slope last season that seems to have carried into the offseason. In fact, our 2008 Sep-Dec average is actually lower than our 2009 Jan-Apr average. This place is actually slightly busier NOW than it was during the season. :spock:

Update:

http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/7494/maystats.png

Still on about the same pace as earlier (1.1m for the year), though the gap between this and previous years is actually widening. We're now up about 63% over last year and 38% over 2007. Basically, the summer slump isn't quite as large this year compared to the past.

To give you an idea of how much of a difference there is, we averaged 2500 or so posts per day in May 2009 compared to about 1600 per day in May 2008. WTF has changed?

I am doing my part

The thread about me spiked the posts count.

Ah, that's true. However, the difference between 2009 and 2008 is about the equivalent of one thread that size every 2 days. :eek:

It's really this month that has me baffled. I have been attributing it to the new regime so far, but nothing notable has really happened with the Chiefs this month.

The only thing I can think is that we kind of jump started the offseason with that, and people have stuck around for all of the other dumbassery. In the past, people got bored in February and March, poked their heads in in April for the draft, and then ran away for the rest of the offseason. This year, people have basically stuck around the whole time.

Am I crazy or is that backwards? The chart looks like an increase to me.

What he asked.

Stupid typos. :D

That's total post count. You need to look at the slope of the line.

Na, I had the years switched in my description.

Dammit Carl! :cuss: :D

Three letters. D. C. S.

Oh, and Halfcan showed back up.

Let's talk about me some more.

heh.

DC traffic almost definitely, election stuff I'm sure.

These are apparently stats about Chiefsplanet users

There is absolutley no way that 1/4 members are women. I can count the women whom post here on my hands.

22% are teenagers. LMAO I don't believe that. I think it's a product of the language that's used on this site.

Here's a new trivia question:

How many users have been banned on ChiefsPlanet? Closest to the number without going over wins $10k casino cash.

Do multiple bannings count as one?

Nope. So Marlboro Chief likely counts for a ton of them.

286

465

1346

516

343

186

101

550

So how long do we have to wait for the answer?

You didn't hear? I already one. Game over ladies.

Well then congrats two you.

423

eh i was just waiting for at least a few guesses first. ill pick a winner later today.
