I was looking at one of those annual top poster statistics the other day and
thought – wouldn’t it be just too cool to have something like that for our
not-so-humble RTL? Well, being the stats junkie that I am, I rolled up my
sleeves and got to work gathering data. Please don’t ask about the nasty details
of converting nearly twelve thousand posts into an Access database, but let me
just say that I hope to never have to use Ctrl+C or Crtl+V combo this much ever
again! :-p

But enough of this! I bring you the Fun Facts of .rtlToronto in Numbers!

And what kind of a statistic analysis would this have been with out a cool line
graph:
http://www.nation01.net/misc/tempupload/PostsPerMonth.png
“RTL” refers to posts by people from the “Core Group”. Following suite I
copy-pasted the names off the main page, so if you weren’t included please
direct all the flame-mail to Calum ;)

Interesting observations with the graph:
** Neither “Project X” nor “Deep Yellow” post counts come even close to the
totals during “Raiders of the Lost Part”. Rather odd, isn’t it?
** We’re currently in an all time low post count – lowest since early 2001.
** Despite this, we’re seeing more and more posts by “non-RTL” folks – this
leads me to conclude that rtlToronto is just a cool place to hang out :-D

In case someone else feels the urge to play around with the numbers, I’ll upload
the database once I get home later on today.
