Forum getting too popular?
<< < (54/61) > >>

I won't pretend to understand how it happened, but the EEVblog forum is the closest I've seen to Usenet in the late 80's and early 90's.  Naturally there are some nut jobs, but the number and proportion of intelligent, well educated and pleasant people is quite amazing.  Interestingly, the pompous "experts" seem to get bored and wander off after a relatively short period of time.

Oh, and Dave, I'd classify your public persona as borderline nut job.  But many thanks for what you have done.

I gave up my personal technical life to look after my aging parents, both now deceased.  I was going out of my mind from isolation until I discovered the EEVblog forum.  So I *really* appreciate it.

BTW that search bar might be changing soon to actual content ads (also from Supply Frame/FindChips), they want to try something different.

I hope you will consider refraining from going the route that's common now, with automatically traded and externally hosted ads with dynamic content and client side code. I've always felt your approach of self hosted static ads is refreshingly pleasant.

You must be right as yesterday it was 15.9:1 and today it's 20.5:1 !  :wtf:

Unless Dave sees other stats this seems like piss poor info for the owner of a forum.  :--
You'd expect he could see the daily stats and we see the overall historical ones.  :-//
Another SMF fail ?

The personal Most Popular Boards By Activity stats don't make a lot of sense.

If there was a very unpopular board where only 2 users had only ever visited just once and posted just once, it would be stuck at the top of their most popular boards forever because 50% of the posts on that board were theirs!  RF, Microwave, HAM Radio used to be stuck at the top of my list. :-DD

New topics & posts are stabilized nicely, so do online viewers and page views, but new members are sky rocketing, are spammers account strike back again Dave ?
