A three day window is a wee bit small to draw conclusions really. A broader timerange may seem more fitting. One thing that I’ve pondered lately is the weight of the local altcoin board on each of the Local Boards. More often than not, it is still a heavyweight subsection on each Local Board, and responsible for a large part of the created posts in a given Local Board.

I keep track of the number of net (*) posts created per month on Local Boards, with monthly data for each, broken down by first level of childboards within. For example, the Local Spanish board (see https://public.tableau.com/shared/3X239NMSF?:display_count=yes&:origin=viz_share_link) still has around 44% of posts made in the Altcoin board. Considering a five month period (data that goes back to the end of 2017, but for simplicity, I've filtered the above link to 5 month's worth of data).

(*) Net posts = created – deleted – moved.

Negative values, such as the -234,5 in your data come from posts/threads that are deleted. Every now and then, mods seem to perform a large purge on posts/threads, and the number of posts for a given month decreases instead of increases, sometimes in pretty steep values.

All three I believe.

Good work, but a narrow range analysis gives wrong results, especially within 3 days.
Also, there are some factors that need to be considered such as Merit analysis, Mod activity, number of active users will determine the data more accurately.
Also, some data, such as ANN & bounty section of Altcoin boards, should be excluded from the ratios.

Your daily average is wrong: it's 3 days, but you divided the number of posts by 4.

Skandinavisk(scandinavia)is an area in Northern Europe, and this area covers the lands of Denmark, Sweden and Norway and it could also include Finland and Iceland in a broader/wider region(Nordic countries).

Skandinavisk(scandinavia)can also be referred to as the Scandinavian peninsula

I'm a little bit surprised about the small number of posts in local boards. I'm active on the German local board and I've the impression that there are much more posts per day.


Looking forward to it. Would it also be possible to make up to 7 days (one week) to get an impression of the difference between Monday-Friday and Saturday + Sunday and add the number of post per day? Like that:

	28.08.19	28.08.19	29.08.19	29.08.19	31.08.19	31.08.19	Daily Average
Arabic	32314	xx (posts per day)	32338	xx	32366	xx	13
Indonesian	1041791	xx	10414871	xx	1042000	xx	52.25

I know it's very time consuming but the community would appreciate it for sure.  
And I will share it on the German board.  

You are right. The German Local Board has more than 2400 posts in August. That's almost 80 posts per day!
This 3 day statistic can't be accurate. Only 48 posts instead of 80 per day. That's almost double.

I also found some other things which are not so accurate.

Besides German mistake instead of 48 post per day they have 79 posts per day!

There is also Chinese and Indian mistake. It's not 0 posts per day.

In august Chinese Local Board has 224 posts 31 days = 7.23 posts per day

Indian board has 293 posts 31 days (aug) = 9.45 posts per day

I will report more accurate statistic for other countries in the future.

The issue is that daily measures are very sensible to being heavily affected by post/thread deletion, where more posts can be deleted than created on a given day, rendering a negative number of created posts, or lowering the real number of created posts toll.

Even if you take this on a larger scale to try to minimize this effect, it may not always clear the picture. For example, the Chinese local board has a record of 11 net negative number month value of created posts (monthly reading - https://public.tableau.com/shared/63RSPTF3S?:display_count=yes&:origin=viz_share_link). The reason strives in the heavy deletion from the Main default board, the Altcoin board and the 山寨币 board (can’t make out what it means).

The root of it all is that counting the number of posts using the forum stats (current or archieved) will always render the net count (created – deleted – moved), without there being a way to dissociate them on the stats themselves. One would need to try to control that through alternative external methods (data scrapping involved) which seems an overly task to do, and pretty impossible to perform retrospectively.
