Afternoon Grapes.
There were a few concerns recently about the amount of non-gardening chit chat on this Forum. So, to get some ides of the issue, I decided to make a random analysis of the threads and their content.
I took a reading at 7pm on thursday and another today, giving an average of 3 1/2 days useage. I'm sure I could get more technical, but I wanted a general idea, and half a week seemed a good place to start.
So, 217 new threads have been started in that time period.
Out of those, 48 were started in this Board 'General Chit Chat'.
Out of those, I have taken an analysis of the most recent 60, as a fair amount are long running threads.
32% of the 60 were gardening related, and 68% aren't.
So, putting those figures back into the originals calcs, it would seem that 18.8% of the threads started on this forum are not gardening related, which means that 81.2% are.
That's not a bad result.
As you were.
