PropertyChat 2018 stats

33. Most popular themes (other than the default, which is used by nearly 98% of users)



Note that "Blue Theme" is actually the default theme - the users showing up in this chart using that theme have explicitly selected it (most likely after trying other themes) rather than the majority of users who have not chosen a theme at all (and thus get Blue Theme by default).

 

34. Email domain used by members who registered in 2018

 

35. Age distribution of members as at the end of 2018



Median age of members at the end of 2018: 37 years

Note that we have 561 users with a birth year entered into their profile.

 

36. Age distribution of members who joined in 2018



Median age of members who joined in 2018: 35 years

Note that we have 135 new users with a birth year entered into their profile.

 

"Like ramping" has been a thing. And sometimes two users will give a like to almost every post from the other one.

Most likes given to my own posts have been for something funny or something in the politics forum (generally the same group of members who have similar beliefs). While I am nowhere near your ratio (probably below 1) I don't think that any credence should be given to me in the more serious forums to which I don't contribute much any more based on something funny I said elsewhere.

Someone like @Terry_w who has many very valuable posts has a rather low like ratio.

 

Yup - see here for previous versions of these stats (will get to them for 2018 shortly): PropertyChat is 3 years old!

Note that the best way to get a high posts-to-likes ratio is to post good posts infrequently. As such, I'm moving more towards a weighted measure which compensates somewhat for the skew towards people who post less frequently. Posting frequently while maintaining a high likes-to-post ratio is a lot more impressive!

See here for the most recent weighted likes ratio stats from June 2018: PropertyChat is 3 years old!


FWIW, I don't think likes-to-posts ratio is a good measure of anything other than "people liked their posts a lot". As @geoffw mentioned - people active in some off topic forums can generate a lot of likes on posts completely unrelated to investing.

People give likes for many different reasons - it can be dangerous to presume that it indicates anything more than "someone liked it".

Because the likes-to-posts ratio is heavily skewed by people who post relatively infrequently, we're now using a "weighted like rate" measure to compensate - people who post a lot but still get a lot of likes will get a higher like rate.

The like rate is calculated using the formula: likes * LN(posts) / posts, which effectively gives greater weight to users who have made more posts and minimises the impact of infrequent posters who drop clangers and thus get a disproportionately high amount of likes.

 

Unfortunately the database software I use doesn't have a native function for counting words, so getting an accurate count would require a lot of additional programming.

Instead, I'm going to count characters (which includes letters, punctuation and spaces and so on), and divide this figure by 6 to get an approximation of the number of words posted (based on the assumption that the average number of letters per word in the English language is somewhere between 5 and 6, and adding an extra for spaces). It's a crude measure - but should give us a rough idea.

So - let's start with a total count:

46. Users who posted the most words in 2018 (approximated by dividing number of characters written by 6)

Note that I'm not really happy with the accuracy of this - I think I'm going to have to come up with a more sophisticated way of measuring it.
