There are so many posters out there who never venture outside of the local boards.
For this reason I think local boards are so important for the forum, and providing them good content is a vital objective for the forum (and where I try to give my humble contribution
Couldn't agree more with this. This forum can be a confusing place for a newbie and local boards definitely help. I mean, I've been active on various forums for ~20 years, wasn't new in crypto and have no problem understanding English yet it was helpful to have group of people that speak my language in that first period when i was getting used to this forum. And now imagine how it is for someone who is new to crypto, has no previous experience on any other forum and struggles with English.


I hope you won't forget your monthly update with December date. I now use this data in 2 reports of mine, the local boards race and my Portuguese Board consolidation.
No worries about that, I haven't missed making monthly overview in last 3 years since I created this thread and certainly won't miss last month's overview.


If we’re considering data for a whole year, the top range, 10 posts (although +) is less than an average of 1 post per month on the lower end of the range, which is a small contribution, and perhaps gets too mixed-up in the same segment with the real heavy posters.
Yeah you are right, I was too conservative and still thinking like I am making monthly overview and not yearly.


As I said, the above is tentative, and subject to what you see in the data, and how much of an effort it implies. Perhaps just to emphasize that it’s interesting to separate the heavy posters and the very sporadic posters as separate groups (as I did above), and break down all between figures into something manageable.
Things get more complicated when you have to include boards that very different in terms of activity. I am still checking things out but I am leaning towards making 4 groups: 1-9 posts, 10-49, 50-99, 100+. Eventually I may add one more groups for those extra active (500+) but I am still not sure about it as not many boards would have users in that bracket.
