<…>Seems like 7994.49 is the average posts per day, however that seems hard to believe, and I would say its much more than that<…>
The official average posts per day count I believe probably takes into account all a few years of history (both number of posts and days), and therefore does not reflect current values.
For example:
Code:
PostCount       Date            PostDiff   nDaysDiff   Avg posts per day
4.7723.487 10/11/2018   777.290    24 32.387,08
4.6946.197 17/10/2018 1.186.160    31 38.263,23
4.5760.037 16/09/2018 1.408.738    27 52.175,48
4.4351.299 20/08/2018 1.770.230    30 59.007,67
4.2581.069 21/07/2018
So the Average has gone down very noticably since the change of rules, but is still 4 times more than the average shown on the official stats from a monthly point of view.

Note: I couldn’t retrieve the data for the same day of each month, so I got then at the nearest interval possible to 30 days, but calculated the average per day based on the number of days between on date and the previous month’s reading.
