AFF Statistics

[russellw]

For the benefit of those interested in such things, here are a few of the metrics that we measure for AFF.

We will start with a look at where the posting activity comes from - firstly with a top level view (by raw numbers and percentage) and then for each main area of the forum.





No real surprise to see that the General area dominates with just over 30% of the total forum posts but the Club & Speciality area also ranks highly.

To break these down further:

General



The Pub and Bar dominate this area, making up 75% of the total post count in this area and almost 24% of the overall forum posts.

Clubs

For clarity this is divided into two sections - the car clubs and the AFF based clubs.





Ford Passenger Cars



A fairly even spread at the top of the table here with FPV/Boss just ahead of Contemporary and Territory.

The Workshop



Cleveland makes up 23% of this area - about twice as much as the next most popular Windsor and Ford 6's.

Events



Unique Monthly Visits

This metric depicts the number of unique visitors to the forum each month during the period since the inception of AFF. There are seasonal trends noticeable in the data but the numbers have grown from the ~20,000 per month in 2004 to around 90,000 now.



Weekly Posts

The average number of new posts per week is currently at 9,892 and that level of posting has been fairly consistent over the last couple of years.



Registrations

The chart below tracks the number of new valid registrations each week since inception. The level has been high in the latter part of this year so far.



Bandwidth

The chart below shows the amount of bandwidth used by AFF on a daily basis in Mb per day. The current level is ~ 20 Gb per day.



.. and the same for the number of pages served per day which hovers around the 600,00 mark.



.. and finally the number of server database responses per day which is currently ~ 2,000,000 per day.
