Hiding Stats

[Sam1]

Should forum owners ever hide their stats, or part of their stats?

Some people hide:
- Posts per day.
- No. of Posts.
- Members.

etc.

Thoughts?

Posts per day is not needed imo. There is no logic to it.
All other stuffs you mentioned are pretty decent and I don't see any problems in displaying them. If the numbers are good, its a nice show off too!

I personally think it's the most important stat! If you have a good number of posts per day (say 100+) then you've got an active forum and one worth joining!

Oh I didn't think it that way!
But if its below 50 or something like that, displaying it will simply backfire! :/

Exactly, if it were a bad stat I wouldn't show it!

Stats don't really matter to me all that much, just a sign that things are going well. So I don't really feel the need to hide the site's accomplishments. If it were something that was negatively impacting the forum though... Might just hide that.

What's the posts per day for WGBB? Might do good displaying it. :ilike:

Stats always appeal to me, and I find myself staring at them for quite sometime on a lot of new forums to gauge the activity etgc

Averaging around 1-200 since you and Southern came into play. xD

That actually is a nice idea. Let me check how can we display that!

Probably a hook somewhere that we could add I'm sure. ^_^

WGBB's future success is all due to me, that was a quality idea. :3

Can't forget about me, without me you would be nothing!

But I came up with the idea! Which still hasn't been implemented! Haze xpl0iter

It was collective idea from all of us. :#

 

[Gytix]

NEIN
Was all me.

Because Xpl0iter has been busy and I am too lazy to go digging through the XF system to look for the hook which we could introduce to the post area.
