Why was there an extra 5,000 PMs sent in July?

I believe Neobond posted that there was a mass spammer sending PM's to random users.

JUL '08: 1,217 registrations, 6,245 new topics, 76,072 replies, 8,238 PM's sent and 2,139,545 topic views.

Numbers are up again on last month, the PM stats aren't totally accurate as it appears we had a spammer on July 11th which resulted in 5,113 messages sent for that day. Without that days totals it comes to 3,125 or 3,225 if you count the 100 PM's a day averages for the last 2 months (still down from last months 3,306 PM's sent).

Well done guys (Y)

I would think the definition of an active poster would be someone who is currently in discussions and debates around the forum, and takes part in the community, and isn't posting "lol" in every jokes and funny stuff thread, those I call spammers.

But in the end, it is the admins / mods choice on what to define as an active poster. Good luck to everybody :yes:

Wow... anything to make the posts huh? Bacon.. comon, it's all about Canadian Bacon :)

Just joking. I will give an update at the mid-month mark, or weekly, just to see if we are on target, and count down the last few thousand when the end of the month, or the 8,000,000 mark approaches, whatever comes first.

As of May 7, 2008 ET, there are 357,835 posts yet to be made, 146 days left. This leaves 2451 posts per day, 102 posts per hour, 1.7 posts per minute round the clock. Easier done than said.

As of September 6, 2008, there are 64,743 posts yet to be made, 24 days left. This leaves 2698 posts per day, 113 posts per hour, 1.8 posts per minute round the clock... easier said than done.

Free stuff is always good, though I already have Vista. Perhaps Neobond could arrange for Bill Gates to be put in a box and mailed to me? I could always use someone to talk to and fix my computer issues.

    • Nah. For every indie dev that needs to create code for "stuff" or textures, it's a godsend enabler to possibly tackle a project that you may not otherwise. The end result and testing will tell the truth if everything works or doesn't, or a game is just mediocre slop, but now these tools are now there and it's the developer's duty to judge the outcome, and even more so for pro studios. And you gotta remember that they will be at an early stage.
    • whoosh my comment went over your head. Enjoy your notchless 3:2 OLED device
    • As a game dev, today was really depressing. They announced that Blueprints will be deprecated in UE6 to be fully replaced by their sh**ty Python-like Verse language... They also announced that 5.8 will be the last version of UE5 until UE6 comes out in MID 2029!!!! They have completely lost the plot.
