Many thanks for publishing the very interesting topic.
I give you link to the one : Using R for Time series Analysis.
Personally, it might be better if you use time series plots for your data presentation.
Of course, you can plot time series datasets with other statistical softwares, not only R.

Yes, I am familair with time series but in this case I believe bar plots seems more appropriate.
I am using OriginLab there ar eplenty of options. But thanks for suggestion.

Can you make a bit deeper analysis, with delayed effects of merit system and new rank requirements on newbies' activities in the forum over the last 6-7 months since the launch day of merit system in January?

As I understand you would like to see the potenital impact of merit system to forum using scraped data.
The problem is that there is other strong factors among implementation of merit sytem, as the change of whole interest in crypto space because of the market bubble , this makes me think that we wont see much. Also i speculate that data in user profile is not enough in this case , if i scraped the posts and analysed posting times , it could give us some interesting information.

I believe that there are already users who have done extensive research on merit sytem impact,
Take a look at this user and his posts, they are very interesting also.
