Ah, not once has there gone more than 9 days or less than 1 day between new pages in this thread, so far this year. I am currently grabbing some data so that I can make a spiffy graph showing activity in this thread so far this year.
Here is le spiffy graph:
It graphs the number of posts per day for each page, from January 1, 2014, to today. It assumes 50 posts per page.
The term 'Posts Per Day' may be somewhat mathematically misleading; that number was obtained for each individual page by taking the number of days between the first post on that page and the first post on the next, and dividing 50 by that number. So, you get the number of posts per day, not for a given time period, but rather for a set of 50 posts.
But yaeh, it's a neat little representation of the forum activity level over time. I would like to make one with dates on the X axis, instead of page numbers.
