[Tweak]

This month's statistics have been uploaded earlier as I will have no further chances before October.

The statistics I'm giving here make use of the server logs and Google Analytics to show trends an information of all visitors to the forum.

Note: All statistics are correct as of 24th September, 14:37 GMT

So far this month the forums have transferred over 14 GIGABYTES of data, an increase of over 1.5 GB from last month and nearly 7 GB more than in January. This means that per visit each user downloads 15 MB of data through an average of 2.5 visits per visitor. This includes over 4 GB of bandwidth from bots etc. As many of you will have noticed, this actually hit the hard limit set on the account, this will be raised for next month to insure it doesn't affect the forum availability in the future.

The busiest day this month was the 12th (nearly 1 GB) and the quietest was the 6th. Interesting the busiest days of the week is Sunday and Thursday with the quietest being Friday. Most visits occur around 11pm GMT (5pm Central) with the least at 8am GMT (2am Central).

According to the statistics the busiest country is the USA followed by the UK (now the server logging has been fixed). We've also had visitors from Oman, Poland, Australia, Canada, Norway, Sweden, Russia, Germany, the Netherlands, Romania, Ukraine, Czech Republic, China, Latvia, New Zealand, Denmark, Finland, Israel, Spain, Thailand, Luxembourg, Brazil and Japan.

The top 25 users shows Crevan having used the most bandwidth this month followed closely by Lita with Macid0031 at the bottom of the top 25 - a difference of over 600 MB of data.

When it comes to various robots and spiders Yahoo Slurp has used over 2 GB of bandwidth in its indexing and Googlebot has used 450 MB.

Most visits last between 0 and 30 seconds (probably bots) with the next largest visit being over an hour! The average overall is about 15 minutes.

85% of users use Windows with 30% using followed by 40% using 2008 and then Vista / 7 with 10%. Mac accounts for 10.7% of visits with all visitors using OS X. Linux is a measly 4.5% with the majority using Ubuntu, although SUSE and Fedora are shown too. Other operating systems include the PSP, Wii and Symbian.

When it comes to browsers Firefox has 27% usage with the latest 3.6(.10) being used, hits come from FF 4 as well as 3.5(.13) and even some from 3.0(.19) with a few still on FF 2. IE users mostly use version 8 with some hits from 7 and 6. Netscape has a small amount of users. The most commonly used browser is Google Chrome with over 42% of visitors using it. Safari, Opera, Mozilla, Samsung, LG, Motorola and Android are also used.

88% of users have the site bookmarked or browse directly whereas 10% come from Search engines. Another 2% are linked from various sites.

That's strange, I come on here a lot with Android OS.

Edit: And iOS

[Tweak]

As do I, sometimes the Android browser is identified incorrectly.

[Self-sain]

I do to woot, and idk if that's good or ad that its so popular, with the price to maintain it increasing >->

[Tweak]

At the moment it's manageable, would be nice to get some increased revenue coming in though, would also give a buffer if the need for physical expansion is required.

[The Past]

Oh wow, I'm one of the top users. Nice. I think.

[Crevan Fox]

Oh wow, I'm one of the top users. Nice. I think.

So am i, I am not sure if thats a good thing though 

[Fenrir Darkwing]

I'd say so, but thats just me.

[Ares the Ram]

jsut a thought, but would it decrease the amount of upkeep costs to get rid of some of the sub-forums? like combine the story forums into one big one?

[Tweak]

Nope - not in the slightest.
