Answering Themole's question

Post by luchtzak »

Themole,

As promised I will give you some statistics calculated by the webserver, first one are statistics calculated for the main-page www.luchtzak.be by 'webalizer', I quote: " Webalizer is a more complex stats program that produces a nice variety of charts and graphs about who has visited your site. This is probably the most popular stats engine available today."

Another example is Awstats:

In November 2004 we had 159.441 visits with an average length of 350 seconds or almost 6 minutes per visit. Compared to 161.937 visits at an average lenght of 354 seconds in October 2004.

I agree that the pageview-counter isn't 100% correct but at least it gives an indication where the website is going. I can't start a competition for having xx unique visitors that spend more than xx minutes on the website. Therefor a 10.000.000th pageview-contest seems logic and popular, note that our most important objective is to keep the forums of high quality (iso high quantity). A 10.000.000th pageview free give-away contest for our members is an appreciation towards all the members and administrators for their contribution in the forums and the latest news-section.

kind regards,

Bart

Sidenote: I didn't show the statistics of our subdomains like our popular http://coppermine.luchtzak.be which are increasing every month so far.

Thanks for the effort and for - finally - publishing some interesting & relevant statistics. It certainly puts the 10.000.000 (and counting) page views in the right perspective.

In my opinion it is not, but opinions differ.

I just feel that the 3th anniversary of www.luchtzak.be would have been a better opportunity to celebrate, and to organize a big give away party. But again, opinions differ. :wink:

We are ready to organise a private party with some of our most interesting members (invitation only, everyone brings his food and drinks), just to try to better know you face to face :D

Maybe, maybe not... But I have contacted several aviation companies if they wanted to participate in the 10.000.000 pageview-event. Not knowing that the 10.000.000th would come that fast and that it was so close to the 3-year anniversary ;-)

Anyway, congratulations with the 3th anniversary of luchtzak.be!
But what about its twin brother or sister www.luchtzak.com? :wink:

By the way, what's with this 'member of the year' thing? How is it calculated? It seems you are about to win your own contest? The word 'pointless' comes to mind. :roll:

Yes, but it points to the same server ;)

Indeed it's rather pointless, it came with an update I made on the PHP-Nuke system, maybe I should remove the link to it. :roll:

You mean: keep the list active but remove my name from the list?

Is this the end of the Member of the Year thing then? It is no longer on the left side menu.

I also don't like that "the member of the year"-thing, wanted or not, it can create a competition for being on top of that list, but don't forget, it is all about fun and leisure, and not competition :thumbsup:

Does what amuse me?

I sense some irritation on my expense in that remark. Did I spoil your nice ranking in the 'member of the year' awards? Because in that case, I can't feel sorry for you, simply because I don't.

I am one of the few members around here who dares to question a few things about this website or its content. Maybe you are used to ignore some facts or even the truth, but I don't. What I said earlier about the 'member of the year' contest, the statistics and even www.luchtzak.com are relevant questions or remarks. If it doesn't interest you, fine! In that case, ignore this topic and do what you do best and get behind your camera. If you have no sensible arguments to discuss, I suggest you have a nice and animated discussion with your camera, but not with me.

Unlike you, I always try to use sensible arguments in the discussions I am involved in. I sadly have to conclude that the quality of the feedback is rather on the poor side. Your reply is a perfect example of what I mean. I have a reputation to say whatever is on my mind, mostly stuff that is being left unsaid, simply because people do not dare to say it out loud. But hey, somebody has to take the heath or the blame, and I am more than willing to do so whenever I feel it is necessary.

So am I amused? No. Are you? Probably not. Good, at least something that we have in common. :twisted:

lol And since I was going to win the contest, Bart decided to deleted more than 60000 of my points several months ago ;)

But to be honest, I don't care.... It's quality and not quantity that counts.

If that is the case then Member of the Year was obviously a fix and a con anyway.

Personally I am glad to see the back of it.

What do you mean by that ?

Bart didn't do it on prupose but I one day saw that I lost more than 60000 points that's all.

But since I don't care about it, I don't want to start a discussion about that.

The sentence I wrote above just had to be a "joke".

Nothing could be won by being 'member of the year', it was just an extra tool that came with an upgrade. Apparently it didn't work like it should have as member Avro lost a lot of points.

Nothing has been fixed as no prize was attached!
