    On paper yes the increase in traffic could warranted an extra mod.... if it was needed, however this place is just too nice to need a 3rd mod, honestly this place doesn't even need me as a mod but 2 makes sense incase one mod is off enjoying personal time, from a mod perspective there is very little to do, the community here is the nicest, the worst we get is the stray you know it's only May, etc.

    Well we still appreciate it.
    Sometimes its the little things that make a difference and modding isn't always about being heavy handed & dishing out cards & ye guys handle it perfectly.

    Sept - Dec had 41 days where post count was above 100 posts per day.

    That is the most amazing state for me. Over 100 post in a day is a lot when you think of it for a relatively small group.

    And to echo's Posy's comments on this, if things getting back to normal results in less posts then let 2020 forever hold the record! :)

    I've said it before, lets have something positive to remember 2020 for. It will be nice to look back in years to come and talk about (potentially) the forums busiest year ever :)

    I posted a lot more for a couple of reasons, I no longer felt like a newbie and I was in clients office less. I simply will not log on when in a clients office for obvious reasons.

    I was the same. Having being a lurker for a good while, then a newbie poster, I felt more confident last year and hence posted more.

    So yesterday we broke the 100 post mark for the first time in 2021, it took us until September 24th to achieve the same feat last year.

    Can honestly say that was looking like a horrible morning yesterday, being back in work, turned into a positive one thanks you kind folks. Was like catching up with with friends/family after awhile and hearing what everyone has been up to, how they are getting on etc.

    Predicting that we will smash Jan '20.

    Haha, I wouldn't go that far, there's an initial 9am rush then things tend to die down until lunchtime. :pac:

    It's a lovely forum. I don't post very much in it but love the pictures of the trees and decorations and reading about traditions people have, either ones they are carrying on, or new ones they set up. And Christmas buys, of course.

    Well don't be afraid to post more often, the more the merrier is the mantra in here!! :)

    And we got the hattrick not only was yesterday over the 100 post mark but it was also busier than Mon & Tues. I imagine the buzz of ChristmasFM take the credit for that.

    After 1 week of Jan-21 we are now half way there to beating Jan-20. :eek:

    Have a feeling we might slow down after yesterdays fun & games, still though an impressive start to the new year.

    And we made it 4 days of above-100 posts in a row. Unreal start to the year, no doubt powered by Lockdown 3.0

    Absolutely amazing!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,430 ✭✭✭✭DvB


    Thats phenomenal.
    I felt it was a bit slower yesterday (which is to be expected as we push further into January) but delighted to see we still had that high level of traffic.

    Dare we complete the working week with another ton today!?!?

    Same, to be honest, didnt think we would hit the ton yesterday as went a bit quiet mid afternoon. Delighted to hear we made it!

    Could be a challenge today with people not working etc however who doesn't love a good challenge :)

    Loughc is like the festive antithesis of Tony Holohan. Every day, we wait for the updated figures, only in Loughc's case, the higher the better! And I much prefer these statistics compared to Dr. Tony's.

    We dare....

    5 days in a row.

    Unbelievably we surpassed 100 posts yesterday.... which is very unheard off for a Sunday!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,751 ✭✭✭mirrorwall14


    I've made myself a little promise, to do at least two happy posts in the forum each day-preferably in the morning to set me up for the day!

    was Saturday out by many? It did seem a tad quieter.

    Saturday was less than half of Sunday's, to be expected, people tend to have jobs to do on a Saturday and Sunday tends to be a relax infront of the tv/fire day. Especially during lockdown.

    Absolutely.

    I'm amazed at Sunday hitting the ton TBH.

    Super effort guys. I can't claim any credit since I contributed absolutely zero posts :D

    So yesterday was our busiest day so far and this morning we have surpassed Jan's 2020 total.
