Should I continue to do the stats?

[ColdFront77]

Is there any reason for me continuing them? If there is no demand for them, there is no reason to continue to do them.

Which ones do you like seeing the most?

Thanks.

Yes, ColdFront77...those stats DO have a use, and a following (although few post their kudos).

Keep on keepin' on...someone has to do it, and who better, Sir?

[breeze]

That's right, Tom - those stats are needed, and,
so are YOU!

[ColdFront77]

So, there tends to be an interest in them. I'm sure the majority don't care and me getting tired of doing them in some ways, some days more than others.

[cycloneye]

Yes dont quit doing them because you are a master in the stats.

[Stephanie]

I always love the way you dig up information on the amount of posts there have been for a given topic, etc.

I think that the stats are needed and provide a valuable service.

[ColdFront77]

Originally posted an hour ago:

I rather do away with those that have the least interest.

It would be nice to here the opinions of those that don't think I should keep track of the board's statistics.

[ColdFront77]

I will no longer do the Post Milestone threads. My main concern will be with the "Daily Post Count for all forums," "Total Post Count & Percentages for each forum" and "Number of posts made each day" Member Locations." If there is demand updating those I didn't mention here I may consider doing them. Thank you for your understanding.

i hope you will continue the post milestone threads!!

How often do you update the milestone threads? If it is too much work, reduce the number of times you do these updates.

I do go to the stats forum, but I must admit it isn't often that I post in there. Don't measure your success by the number of responses there are in the forum and when you need more information post both there and in other forums requesting it. JMHO.

[CaptinCrunch]

YES. keep posting the stats, I like them.

P.S. The post club stats need to be updated, I'm shown in the 1000 post group and have since made the 3000 post group.

keep up the GREAT work Tom!!!

[WXBUFFJIM]

Keep em coming, It's worth it.

[chadtm80]

I voted Yes... Just like I did the other three times you have asked

My favorite one is where you break down the posts per day by each forum

[kevin]

Absolutely Tom. Thats your special niche on the boards. Don't think it isn't appreciated!

[ColdFront77]

Thanks Helen, David, Christopher, Jim, Chad and Kevin.

i hope you will continue the post milestone threads!!

I already decided which stats to do and which ones I am not going to do... which includes doing even some of them less often than I used to -- probably noticed that by now.

Viewer/Member feedback is nice every so often. There are many members not interested among the vast membership. Obviously those that don't access the board too much [were mainly here for the tropical weather discussions {during the summer}] can care less.

I won't get any feedback if I don't bring it up from time to time.

As I have said before, I don't expect to have many member acknowledging my work, but at the same time I can't, nor can anyone (especially those of you who responded here) know who is truly interested in the board's statistics.

[stormraiser]

Tom, friend.......I'm not going to respond to your question, other than voting in your poll, because, like Chad said, nothing has changed from every other time you asked this question

[ColdFront77]

It's always good to ask the questions on this or any issue more than once or twice. Sorry if it's such a problem for some of you.

If it hasn't been noticed yet, I have decided that I am about done with doing most of the stats. I am still holding on to two (sometimes perhaps a third).

If it comes to taking my title away; so be it.

[AussieMark]

Yes u are doing a great job Tom. I love em. I read em each day.

if u are finding some of the stats to much maybe u could find a assistant

[weatherlover427]

You know that I read a lot of them and comment on occasion. However I think you won't get a post like "AWESOME job TOM!!! " with every stats update that you make. The sheer number of views that your stats topics get alone should indicate that they are generating at least some interest.

[JQ Public]

Tom it seems like you have a post like this every few months. I support whatever you want to do. If you don't want to or don't have the time to do it then do what you have to do. But i do appreciate the work you do
