Hi - If you are interested in how many posts are posted in the various forums each day (as I was), then here is a chart for you.

UPDATE: a year worth of posts per month!

filtered down to just the big three:

And here's all the rest of forums of consequence that don't make the big three:

    We're cool because we post most in the beginning of the week when there's work and shit to avoid.

    At the end of the week though we go to parties and stuff unlike those pasty G&T and D&D nerds amirite

    I wouldn't really try and read any trend into the day-by-day numbers. I would guess those micro-trends would not hold up to a comparative study of other weeks.

    I only included multiple days into the chart so that I could be more confident of the representation of a subforum's "typical" single-day traffic. (less fooled by some single-day anomaly)

    Of course none of this may be very typical due to it being a holiday week. If these numbers were easy to get, I would pull out several other periods for comparison. Sadly, because we are reading against the 17-million-records posts table, and because there is no index on date ranges there, these numbers are NOT easy to pull out in a way that does not bring the database server to its knees.

    Perhaps that particular Tuesday there was some sort of heated discussion that led to an outbreak of posting.

    I've heard Tableau is good for querying massive amounts of records like that.
