User blog:Akrivus/Annual User Count (2014)

Not sure if many people know this, but I've been keeping track of how many people have joined SFW by the passing months. I started on the second of January, and ended today, on the second of December. I thought that this would be useful, since we seem to have a need to get the whole of the community together, and this could help significantly in the planning of events. Here are the results I have collected this year.

 January 2014 = 267

February 2014 = 242

March 2014 = 239

April 2014 = 214

May 2014 = 240

June 2014 = 218 

July 2014 = 238

August 2014 = 246

September 2014 = 221

October 2014 = 172

November 2014 = 96

December 2014 = 181 

Total Users in 2014 = 215

If you're one of those people who prefer to look at a graph, I have created a line graph from rapidtables.com to describe the set of data I just displayed above. Hopefully, this'll have a more dramatic effect than a bunch of numbers in a list.



Now, I'm not doing this to scare anyone, or to say that this site is dying, in fact, evident by the graph, this place is more of a rising rollercoaster than it is an epic fail. I did this for the purpose of predicting multiple things, such as the dates of events that require lots of people, or the categorization of new generations, and maybe even create a little more history for this website.

Anyway, I hope that this research is helpful to whoever needs it. I'll be keeping a close eye on the numbers, and I'll most likely continue my counting into next year to see if any progressive rises and falls happened depending on the year. Feel free to comment if you notice and interesting things, and I'll definately give some feedback.
