SWF user activity (With nice graph!)

Link to original post: SWF user activity (With nice graph!)



I have been wondering when Smashboards has the most and least activity, and so, I made this program:

It allowed me to log on to SWF once every 30 minutes and open the site in separate tabs each time, thus making it easy for me to just note down the number of users currently online. In order to not make Frown appear as online 24/7, I made an alternate account for this (sorry about that).

But then I realized, maybe the administrators could do this much more easily. I asked Kirby King, and he told me MLG had that power.

Yeah, MLG. I didn't feel like waiting for their answer, so I let my computer stay turned on for one week and then let it calculate the average number of users at certain times during the day.

Here is the result:

I chose GMT-8 as the time zone, since... well, I don't know.

Pretty interesting.

 

[highfive]

Wow. So then members are most active around 18.00 to 20.00 hours?
Does that affect the speed of the servers overall?

What about Guest users? How many of them are regularly online as compared to people who have Registered? And are Guest users normally online at the same time as Registered users?

 

[gian@!!]

very nice, its good to see someone do this.

It's usually half as many. Two thirds are registered, on third is not.

heheh, pretty cool.

What language was that program written in? I'm a computer science major and I haven't seen that language at all if my memory serves me.

Do repeats!
Make repeats for each point, then take means to plot a graph.

If you had the time to do that, it would be quite cool. :D

It's called AppleScript. Mac only.

I was actually about to do that... >_> But I'm really tired right now. Maybe tomorrow.

You could do it. =D

In between making a gigantic new Decisive Game and making customized pokemon games, I'm not sure I'd find enough time.

This is really cool. Basically "Great times to post a thread."

 

[Frown]

Gotta love it when a friendly soul bumps the blog post you worked on for a week.

 

[Clownbot]

Wait...

Wasn't this also posted in the Pool Room?

Yeah, I realized everything is User Blogs is crap, and this is not crap.

Lawl. Cool graph dude.
sin curve ftw (basically is)

now some math dude is gunna come in here and calculate the graphs equation. I wish Is till remembered how to

or it could be a translated cosine curve.
Depends on how you look at it.

Although the bump some what messes the calculation up.

 

[Cherry64]

Haha yes it could be. how does the bump mess the numbers on the graph up?

Not the numbers. Preparing the actual formula, assuming that the graph will be continue in this exact pattern.

I want to create a formula cause I feel geeky right now.
:nerd:

Frown is the best yellow-named user.

 

[Frown]

With the height of 307 (126+181)...

Okay, I'm not that nerdy. Sorry.

 

[Indigo Jeans]

Frown for President.

 

[POKE40]

Anyone come up with the cosine/sine function yet?

 

[Frown]

LOL I actually did that, but I had to adjust it a bit.

But I removed it because I was being too nerdy.

If you really want me to, I can do it again.

 

[Mewter]

This is great. I wonder what this graph is like during the school year?
