| #1 by Yorhel 2021-09-30 at 06:29 | < report >Yup, it's that time of the year again. On this date, fourteen years ago, I uploaded the first version of this little website called "VNDB". Somehow it still exists and is still growing. Geez. Like last year, I'll (ab)use this post to share a few yearly contribution statistics. I've made the graphs larger this time to emphasize the "still growing" part. After all, pixel is growth is also growth! - Number of database edits per day. - Number of newly created database entries per day. - Monthly active contributors. The first two graphs have been changed from "per month" to "per day, averaged per week" because spiky graphs are totally cute (but not cute enough that I'd remove the "averaged per week" part, that's a little too spiky for my tastes). The last graph is new and was created in response to a recent discussion where the database's contribution health was brought into question. The graph shows how many people have contributed to the database over a 30-day period. What is interesting here is that more people are editing the database, but the number of "core" contributors has remained roughly the same over the years. That's a good sign, I hope, as it suggests there's more people around to provide quick hit-and-run fixes while we have a nice and stable core to ensure consistency. tl;dr: We survived another year, you may get drunk now. 🎉 |

| #10 by NaioHoras 2021-09-30 at 08:29 | < report >Happy birthday, VNDB! I feel like the db has been more active after the reviews feature got implemented, so I'm also curious of how many users in involved discussion per day, or how many post in forum per day. are there graphs for that? |
| #11 by kratoscar2008 2021-09-30 at 08:30 | < report >Congrats. |
| #12 by Yorhel 2021-09-30 at 09:43 | < report >Two quick'n'dirty graphs for forum activity: - Posts per day - Posts per month Hmm, I also feel like the boards have been more active lately, but the stats don't show a significant change. This doesn't include reviews and comments, but I don't expect those numbers to be very large. (@hinoe: pm) |

| #15 by NaioHoras 2021-09-30 at 10:17 | < report >so I just manually counted reviews + comments from 29-8-21 to 29-9-21 with this link (what am I doing with my spare time...), and I got the total 349 posts, and that doesn't include new comments to older reviews. so yeah, the reviews feature contribute a lot. and if we include reviews+comments, the graph would be significantly higher. |

| #17 by leafcascade 2021-09-30 at 10:29 | < report >Happy birthday! Love all the features you've implemented over the years, even though it saddens me I'm too busy to contribute much. But I know it's all there when I do end up having spare time, and that's all that matters! Bless VNDB. :) |
