I've said...give us data of 54 days of one and 54 days of another. As someone who reads and interprets statistical data, I am always looking at like events.
Really, I am not bitter at all. In no way shape or form. I am sorry that others have inferred that.

SoCal is correct from the perspective we are trying to compare apples to oranges.... each of the forums are composed of a different combination of posters (with their own individual posting styles), moderated differently, and may contain more/less "serious" vs "for fun" threads, etc....
no serious data analysis or statistical trending can be done as the vast differences do not make the sample data ranges replicatable (or repeatable). This thread certainly doesn't imply that AFF is better than another forum (even if everyone knows AFF is the best anyhow).... it only shows us how much "posting volume" we've put out there.... that in itself doesn't prove anything....
