Popularity Of Vendor Forums
Popularity Of Vendor Forums
OK, this is a little nerdy but it's still interesting. 
I was curious as to the TRUE popularity of all the different vendors on Evolutionm. So I wrote a script that goes to the main page of this forum site on five minute intervals and reads the number of users viewing each forum, then places it into a database to be graphed. Now, before the posts start flying in, I know that this isn't the absolute most accurate way to track things. But, I'd venture to say it's fairly accurate. And I was just wanting to practice my scripting skills. I removed some of the vendor forums from the graphs, because they had pretty much no traffic at all and tracking them just cluttered up the graph.
Here is a graph for the last 48 hours, looks like Vishnu is the most popular of all the vendor forums!
I guess also another way to tell who is the most popular is by the number of threads/posts.

No it is correct, Works is the lowest in the graph. I think maybe you are confusing the olive color with the yellow. The most active line is the olive color, for the "EVO General" forum on the site. I include it just as a reference, since it proved to be the most popular of all forums.

Although I'm sure that they already have something like this that comes with the pre-packaged forum software that runs this site.
