Well, of the 16 people above you in the list, 5 of them haven't posted recently - and 3 of them haven't logged in for several months (but within the 6 month cutoff).

Okay - that's all the stats I've got for now.

Let me know if you have any ideas for other stats you'd like to see.

I'll try and get the 2019 calendar year stats done in the next few weeks.

snowleopard · 21 Feb 2020

I know that I've obviously been incredibly active on this site over the past dozen years, but I was a little surprised to see that I was ranked #38 on the 'longevity list' (users with valid accounts and who had been active in the last 6 months). It makes me feel old!

Glancing through the list of 37 people that have been on ZooChat longer than myself, I see that I am the first North American to join ZooChat who is still active here...only 4 days ahead of @Ituri (who I once met at a zoo in 2010!)

Thanks for all of the cool charts @Simon Hampel

The longevity chart is an interesting one. There are a couple of non-Australians ahead of me on the list (Zooish and KB). I'm presuming with both KB and myself our earlier posts as Jelle and Grantsmb respectively were included, I think probably they were.

Yes, I'm pretty sure we just renamed your account, which means that everything else stays the same - including your original posts and registration date and so on.

Thank you very much for collecting and presenting all of these very cool statistics and for the nice and clear charts you made to present them to us, @Simon Hampel .

I'm looking forward to seeing the 2019 stats. I'm sure I'll feature in those in some ways, as I did in the overall stats.

Simon Hampel · 23 Feb 2020

Bonus stats!

I remembered I had done this on one of my other sites, so thought it would be interesting to see the results on ZooChat too.

B36. Posts per day - top users (90 day moving averages)

I've looked at the top 16 users and graphed their individual daily post averages - 4 per chart to avoid clutter. It's interesting to see how posting patterns change over time for users.

ZooChat is 16 years old!
