That's great!

Thanks Maria!

We should do a "postwhoring week" and see if we can hit 800 or 900 posts.

Great number guys

Sorry I haven't been around much recently, I seem to let RL issues overwhelm me and forget to come online so much, bad me

Stop asking to be spanked!
Like we don't know you enjoy it.


There is an update in the FF post count policy for 2008, although I hope we'll never have to be interested by it: starting in February, any board that averages less than 15 posts per day will be given a warning, and will be put on a list of boards that have received a warning, and if any of those boards average less than 15 posts a day at any other time, the boards will be closed.

Basically, now each board will have a "second chance" if for once they don't reach the 15 posts per day quota.

There seem to be a lot of boards on FF so I'm not surprised to see some harsher rules.

I have a question - will it be necessary to make 15 posts every day or will they look at weekly or monthly averages?
Sorry if it makes no sense.

[Hawthorn]

Yeah, they gave a "second chance" to all the boards with this new updated rules, but for instance the boards that were excluded by the regular post count in the past, will be watched too this year (like the News board), so somehow the new rules as a whole are a bit stricter.

It does make sense, instead.
The post count per day is calculated using the monthly average, so the number of posts of a whole month will be divided for the number of days of that month, this way if a board has a slow week, it can make up for that in the next one.

Anyway, there're also the 48 Hours Rule to take into consideration:

If we notice that any forum goes for more than 48 Hours without a post, we’ll send a warning Private Message to the moderators of that forum, and we'll do an immediate post count for that forum, starting with the date that the warning was issued, and ending one week later, and if that forum has a weekly post count that is less than 100 posts, it will be closed. If that forum meets the 100 post count requirement, but if it goes for another 48 hours without a post any time within the next six months after we issue that warning, it will be closed without any further warnings.

Thanks for the answers mod.

77,530 posts

710 posts for the week.


Edit: because I put the same total number from last week, but the posts for the week was correct.

[Hawthorn]

We hit 700 again, great!

Thanks Maria.

[-Louise-]

Brilliant number again, thanks Maria.

I'm sure the board will get busier when the fourth season begins at the end of the month .
