<…> This just gave me an idea to make another chart with forum ranks across local boards, but I am not sure how feasible that would be. Not sure that it would make sense to make it every month, but I think I might include it in the yearly overview, like I am doing for Croatian local board.
Now I just have to figure out from where to pull that data so I can actually make a chart. @DdmrDdmr (or anyone else) do you maybe have some idea?
I don’t really have the data to do it properly, since I only track Merited profiles (I therefore don’t have a view on all the profiles that participate in a given local board).
Regardless, it would all depend on the exact definition of what you’d like to show. I presume the driver would be to see the Ranks of participants (posters) on a given local board. In order to so, I’d use Ninjastic to derive the participants (posters) on a given timeframe, and then cross-reference the data with the Google file I update weekly
here to derive the current associated Rank. Unfortunately, that would only find a match for Merited profiles, which would be a subset of what’s needed.
Perhaps TryNinja keeps/updates the profile data in his DB, and can add it to the output that generates the list of users (current available variables are {number} {username} {uid} {count}). That would make it easy to introduce current Rank into the derived information (*).
(*) Logically, Rank evolves, and data is attributed in general to the current Rank, not the Rank at the time of making a given post (i.e. If we explore a year’s worth of data, a beginner could have gone from Brand New through to Sr. Member in that time).
