Some of you may recall that our good friend David (dedgren) painstakingly maintained a list of statistics for the City Journals at Simtropolis.
Here at SC4Devotion, we've--with David's permission and blessings--embarked on a similar project, compiling a weekly set of statistics that lists all
active MDs (categorized by their position in the MD hierarchy) and ranked them in descending order according to each MD's amount of replies.
In doing this, we hope to give an unbiased, completely quantitative and objective insight into which MDs are thriving here at SC4D at a given time.

Welcome to the first update to the Mayor Diary Statistics. I'll probably still be ironing out format details for the next couple updates, so bear with me for a little while. Also, I should point out that I've only used the data from active MDs, so no Completed MDs or ones from the MD Archive are present. Also, if anyone has any ideas that could make this better, please don't hesitate to let me know!

1 Since it takes a little while to tabulate all the numbers, there may be some views and replies not counted in this update that were posted after I started collecting the data. They'll be added into the next update. This will almost certainly happen every time.

I also like these lists! They are looking great!

freedo50

Great work, this will be really useful for newer members of the community, or those who don't read MDs often. Its also nice just for interest. Maybe you could include how many updates the MD has had over its time, and when the last update was, so we can see how active the authors are.
Also, I moved this to the MD "Of Special Interest..." Section, I think it fits best here.

Fred

thundercrack83

That's a great idea! Next update, I'll include a column titled, "LAST UPDATED." Thanks, Fred!

Pat


well wow sweet the list is here, crap i better update again to make you work alittle there
dustin.  Great job here and over with The Many Nations - pat

Good work! I don't envy your job though as this community continues to grow!  :P

HabLeUrG

wow nice work on that list!  :thumbsup: &apls nice to see my diary on there  ;)

thundercrack83

I'd like to thank all of you who've stopped in to comment, I appreciate the support. I do have a question for everyone, though:

How often do you want to see this updated? Once a week or biweekly (Wednesdays and Saturdays)?

Muzz

Whatever is most conveient for you, I suppose biweekly would be easier, but if you think you have the time to do it once a week than that would be great!

Pat


Hey Dustin once a week is pretty good to have an update.
Just anther thought what about the Completed MD? lol - pat

pvarcoe

Very nice work, thanks for putting it together!

I think once a week is plenty (even once every two weeks might suffice).

From the looks of everyone's ideas, it seems like once every week is the best amount to update the lists. I was afraid that only once in a week would "allow mold" to grow on the thread, but I guess not! Thanks for all you the input, guys! I appreciate it!

pat: At the beginning, I said that I wasn't going to include the Completed MDs or the MD Archive because they're no longer "active." I can do it for now, but something tells me that the amount of active MDs is going to grow in the coming months and, eventually, I'd imagine the replies and views in completed MDs will level off.

Also, next update, I am going to include Three Rivers Region by dedgren to the list in a separate category by itself. It's still an MD, but with the collaboration project and multiple private boards, it's evolved into much more! I'm only going to keep the data on the actual MD thread, though, not all the private collaboration boards.

HabLeUrG

just a new suggestion could you "plus" the views and replies in the mayor diaries at ST, i mean both from devotion and ST (not all ST) so that can be useful for know which mayor diarie should change by section

what u think?  ;)

emilin

This is a very nice effort! I really like having statistics on the journals like this. :thumbsup:

Whew! That may be a lot of work, I'll have to see just how many of them are here and at ST. If it's only a few, it may be doable. Let me take a look. Great idea, though!
