+Frank B. Subscriber² Posted March 4, 2011 Subscriber² Share Posted March 4, 2011 There's more than enough to discuss in March: Availability of iPad 2, iOS 4.3, jailbreaking of the latter, Firefox 4 + IE 9 will be released to the web, GDC is on etc. March will be fully green.

Chasethebase Reporter Posted March 4, 2011 Reporter Share Posted March 4, 2011 Well in terms of registrations, spammers have been cropping up a lot more recently so that could be why. Otherwise disappointing, but March should be better.

amon91 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 That huge spike in registrations must have an explanation, but in the end new members alone won't make a community healthy. As for metrics, I think measuring activity by an average of posts/threads a day would be more efficient than just the number of posts.

bdsams Veteran Posted March 6, 2011 Veteran Share Posted March 6, 2011 The spike is probably associated with the giveaway me thinks. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/980212-board-stats-for-february-2011/#findComment-593763832 Share on other sites More sharing options...
amon91 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 The spike is probably associated with the giveaway me thinks. Probably that. We should have a giveaway based on rep (if there's any proper way to keep track of that), not posts and definitely not just registrations.

Dusco25 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 most people that register do so just to ask for computer help then never return Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/980212-board-stats-for-february-2011/#findComment-593764256 Share on other sites More sharing options...
