Pre/post Gavel Tracking Statistics

Hello!
I have been working on a secret project for over a month now, and finally I can share it with the community.

What is the project?
The project was recording the amount of discussions, messages, threads, and online players for a little while before Gavel and around a month after Gavel.

Why?
I was curious to see in what ways Gavel affected the Forums/Online Players, and I wanted to show the community this too.

Disclaimer
Before the date 12/11/15 I had been taking all the forum statistics at 4 pm EST and the online player count at 5 pm EST, after this date however, I took all the statistics at 6 pm EST. Also the graph website I used did not let me show every date on the x-axis, but they are there just some are hidden. This project started on 12/1/15 and ended on 1/23/16. Gavel's Release date was 12/21/15. Also on 2 dates throughout this, the server was down.

Really cool! I wasn't surprised about the thread part, since so many new Easter eggs get found and people find things to post about. The player amounts though... Really shows the Gavel release Hype at his finest!

Great project and interesting to watch, thanks for doing this :D
------
First day into Gavel and chill, 700 new threads xD

 

I have to say good job Grimm c:

I CANT "BEAR" PPL JUST SAYING FIRST ANYMORE

 

Nice! The posts and messages and member things are awesome, but for online players. Once every 24 hours does not do well to portray actual server activity. minetrack.me helps to show 24-hour player activity.

 

90% of them are probably from Trade Market.

 

I was reading it when I started writing a comment :p
Btw that thing above you said, SO TRUE xD No hate, spyro!

 

HAHA LOL LMAO SORRY SPYRO BUT THIS MADE ME DIE LMAOOOOOOO

These results didn't shock me, because I was expecting something like this. But I did not expect this:
https://gyazo.com/b12b23022067f9de1f69d20001622fb4 Like seriously, what happened here

 

You forgot a graph showing the giant drop in decent posts.

 

I guess people tried to sell stuff and made more forum accounts? Giant increase though.
Now that I'm here let me tag some peeps to read this xD

@its_Carlos @Maximi777 @huge6446 @SkySez @DemonYoshiX
@huge cock I actually don't know who this is... ._. Someone ban him? no? k.

 

Lel, i hate being a forums bug, but i love it the same time..

 

Mmmmm @Graphs

 

I demand graphs for threads and messages per day. Just plot the difference between a day and the day before. This can give a better indication of growth.

 

also holy what 40k forumers?!

 

Nah more like 90% NiS shit posting
