X Days without catacombed posts
« on: 31 Dec 2013, 08:02 »

I didn't want to jinx it by posting something about this earlier, but until today we were going towards the record of successive days without posts being catacombed. Currently, the record stands at 47 days (between January 27th and March 14th, 2012). The streak that ended today lasted 41 days, which makes it about the 3rd or 4th longest streak as taken from the Catacombs forum.

I did see it had been a while... was totally tempted to break the streak earlier >_>

temptation resisted!

While I'm sure the moderators appreciate the break, I can't help but feel the fire's gone out of Backstage a little.

I would have to respectfully disagree. You don't have to act up to the point of getting moderated to be fiery.

Not sure if that's what he meant, but the fire has gone out of backstage a little. Less activity and all.

Though that's still a good achievement in itself.

There has been a substantial fall in overall activity on the forum, from about June 2013, for whatever reason.

Look at the statistics to see this.

A number of people do not appear to be as active as they used to. Additionally, some people that previously posted a lot, have gone as far as to delete their account, because of apparent issues regarding cliques, or groupthink.

It may be the case that a critical mass of people is not currently in existence, when it was before.

CCP live event policy changes may also have had an effect.

Burnout, repetition, disillusionment, may all take their toll on long-term posters who previously generated a lot of useful content.

Posting tends to trend up until summer and hit a low point around the holidays/January. Not that any current lull is entirely cyclic - overall activity also varies due to whatever sorts of forces within and without the RP community, but that is certainly a component.

Edit: As a good example of why that's the case, I have been swamped at work for the past 6 weeks or so. So maybe I just haven't had my mod-hammer poised for every naughty post-weasel that popped up. I also haven't been posting, while previous to that I had a small uptick in my own activity (as a poster, rather than an admin/mod)- which has in the last year or so otherwise lagged a bit.

I just thought people were too busy engaged in RP with meaning and consequence to bother with posting overmuch these days?

Do we count spambots on this tally? If not, we're 17 days without cata.

Can we get an actual counter plugin for the site that shows it at the top page? :D

Nonnonono. I know how this goes...
Soon someone will want an "X days without YDIW" counter, then someone will want an "X days without Vince Hate" counter, and soon there'll be counters all over the place...
And then someone wants an "X days without new counters" counter.
And then rises the counter-countermovement, and the counter-counter-counter movement, that quickly reforms into the countermovement...nobody is sure which side they're on anymore, but regardless...
Bait trolling, flamewars, and Vince Hate engulf the forum, and all counters reset to zero, apart from the "X days without new counters" counter, the forum dies and unit 00000000000001 is born, expulging the catacombs all over reddit as a digital afterbirth, and we all drift apart.
