Well, I'm not sure how useful this is, but I've been making rough estimates (the imperfect methodology is explained here) of posting quantity for the month of May over the past few years:

May 2009: 21,292 posts

May 2010: 16,895 posts (I think Reeky Sporran might have been suspended)

May 2011: 24,602 posts

May 2012: 19,106 posts

May 2013: 14,696 posts

May 2014: 17,434 posts

May 2015: 17,943 posts

May 2016: 9,505 posts

May 2017: 6160 posts

Now, we could average Fringo's daily averages (163.5) and multiply by 31 giving us 5,068 but that's hardly fair as there appears to have been a line-of-best-fit rise in posting over the three-month spread of Fringo's analysis. What we need is for someone to take the daily numbers for 31 consecutive days, and Fringo's clearly the man to do it :ok:

May 2018: 5,243 ...

Women, children and middle-aged statos first.

The infamous TAMB upgrade.

Plus I think a lot called it a day after we fecked up the Euros.

That upgrade was certainly a factor. The Euros; the post-2014 hangover really kicking in; the rise of other forms of social media ...

Do we have the stats for May 2008?  Given that was the month Rangers were in the UEFA Cup Final I'd assume the numbers were off the charts!

As has been said many times before - "The TAMB needs a strong Rangers".

Spot on. I gave up running a forum about three or four years ago due to a migrating of consistent posters to the likes of Facebook. Without posters forums invariably die. Thankfully, this one lives on.

Cove Sheep called Walter Smith a bad name got a temporary ban.

Parkie got a long weekend in the clink for saying he hoped Ranger's lost.

They are a shower of greeting Huns. Nobody likes them and they care way too much.

Don’t mean to piss on your parade but at least 700 of these additional posts were all made by Chripper ( RIP) in the space of month; and all about playing with 3 centre backs.

We thank you all for your boundless encouragements.

We are here to serve.

The board exists only to provide a platform and is the sum total of the membership. If there is no appetite for the board it will die.

C'est la vie.

Yeah, I thought about the possible influence of the chripper effect, but figured there'd always be some dark knight come along to carry on the good fight for three at the back.

More pertinent might be that any apparent increase is well within the likely margin of statistical error given my back-of-the-tab-pack methodology.

Spot on.

The rise of stuff such as Facebook, Twitter etc really has been a death knell to forums. I ran a forum from around 2006 and by 2011 it had gone from a thriving community to a ghost town as many had deserted the humble forum for the new in-thing Facebook.
