Thanks Darren!
Can't remember the last time more than a post a day was needed to make the top 100.

Echo all comments above- a really navigable site- could we call it TWO POINT TWO? Or is that blasphemy?

Looking at some more of your excellent stats, Darren, I notice an interesting trend for last year in the number of posts required to attain the silver medal position (not that I'm particularly interested in that...)


It's almost a perfect slide from January to August, with a brief flat-line Feb-March. Haven't worked out how to do a graph- do you make it elsewhere & then insert it? The gold is a more erratic pattern. Interesting that he summer postings were so low- even the little heatwave didn't catch the posters.

Possibly the fact that September saw more by way of summery weather than the preceding three months did.

It's a full update this month - posting league and All Time Chart have been updated in addition to the usual.


This is the first time I've ever updated the site from overseas (Germany) so Gute Nacht to you all!



Posting League


The posting league is calculated each month by comparing a snapshot of users and post totals with one from a month earlier. The total number of posts for each user includes posts from all forums going back to November 2001. All users are automatically included in the survey.


Who topped the chart this time?  Find out here!


Posting League Records


Every month, various statistics are updated, such as biggest climb to number 1, most consecutive months in the Top 10, highest new entry, etc.


Rogues' Gallery


A collection of photos of TWO forum members, the more the merrier! Members are shown in descending post total order, again including all posts made since November 2001. Those who haven't posted for at least 6 months are removed. This is updated every 3 months, unless updates are received. Please submit your photos to me, by using the TWO Private Message system, or alternatively the "Contact Darren" link on my web site.


2 members were removed, and 10 members were re-added. We now have 83 photos.


Don't be shy - send in your photos! If you are already there, maybe you'd like to send in an update - some of the photos are 10 years old!


All Time Top 100


Every three months, a new list is compiled showing the Top 100 TWO members of all time, including those who were banned or have lapsed. Changes in overall position compared to three months prior are also shown, as are all those climbers in positions 101-300. Post totals include all those made since November 2001.


This section was updated in January, but is still available:


2015 Year End Chart


The 2015 Year End Chart for the posting league is here! Who was the top poster of 2015?
Includes the full Top 300, detailed analysis of the chart, top 5 females, Scots, Welsh, Irish and International Posters, and a full refresh of the Regional Analysis.

Excellent stuff, Darren! I really do love your stats and really look forward to them - as I've said before, they're a TWO institution. Thanks so much for the effort you put in.


Saying that, I'd been dreading the monthly result, as I expected to have fallen out of the top 10 and my record to come to an end (I thought, as usual, that I'd posted far less than I actually did ). Glad to see I just sneaked in!


 


Then to get the annual gold is an amazing surprise!


I was looking back through the past several years, and my annual posting rate hasn't changed that much (always within about 2,900 to 3,600)

Thanks for the stats, Darren. An enjoyable read, as always. I see I've slipped out of the top 10 last month - just not as much interesting weather to post about!
