Stats from launch to the 18th June 2021 - 6 year anniversary.

2. Posts per day (28 day moving averages)



After the usual Christmas dip, we saw a very strong return in post volume through January and February 2021.

 

3. Posts per month




The March/April 2020 post surge was very noticeable, but post volumes so far this year have been significantly up on recent years too. Sign of the property boom in action!

5. Threads per day (28 day moving average)



It is kind of interesting how despite the changes in posts per day over the years, the number of new threads created each day has been pretty consistent over the past few years.

You can also see the effect that the current property boom is having on the forum - the number of new threads created each day is up significantly so far this year compared to the last few years.

8. New user registrations per day (28 day moving average)



Wow - I did not expect that. February 2021 saw a surge in new registrations per day that exceeds anything we've had since we launched 6 years ago!

Lots of people are obviously looking for information about the property market!

 

9. New user registrations per month - valid users only



This confirms the data from the previous chart - other than Jun/Jul 2015 when we first launched, we've seen more users register per month every month this year so far than we've ever had before!

 

10. New user registrations per year - valid users only



User registrations for the 12 months to 18 Jun 2021 are up 22% over the previous 12 month period!
