Community Registered Users Statistics

Nezgar — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 22:25:04 GMT

So after noticing that everyone's profile on the forum here has a "user-id" associated, and seeing that I was the 107066nd to sign up:

https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/107066

Which got me thinking, how many are there today since I signed up in Nov 2019? What are the oldest accounts? How many accounts are created every year? Well... just by editing the number in that URL above you can explore...

The highest number was 179,928 as of last night.

Here's the numbers.

Year	Total registered for year	user-id range for year
2014	9	(1-9)
2015	920	(10-9215)
2016	12437	(9216-21653)
2017	16742	(21654-38396)
2018	31400	(38397-69797)
2019	48722	(69798-118520)
2020	51790	(118521-170311)
2021	66671*	(170312-236982) * Actual # is 9681 as of Feb 23. Extrapolated to 365 days from first 54 days of 2021

And some pretty charts to go with it. 😁

Lots of new accounts in 2018, and a lull in 2020, but 2021 at the rate as of Feb 23 is projected to have decent growth.

Of course a large swath of these accounts are dormant and have never posted a public message. That would be an order of magnitude more work to check each and every accounts activity (and would probably get your account and/or IP banned in the process from excessive requests!!)

So "what's your number?" 😁

Well that was kinda fun. #1 sure ok. #2..coll???_????son??!! did exactly nothing in the community. And #3 still here David_J. Got up to 10 and got bored.

Edit: Ok I went further. So user Sophia @ #40 is the earliest and still participating. Took a 4 1/2 year break in there. Maybe went elsewhere and came back and re-used the username.

@Nezgar - great looking presentation!

And interesting stats / numbers (not much increase in 2020?). I wonder if PM cleans up "user-ids", sometimes, like they clean up posts?

I am 132677.

It doesn't seem right that 2021 already has so many new users in less than 2 months.

@Nezgar wrote that he extrapolated the annual figure from the numbers from 54 days YTD.

Or do you mean the number for the first 54 days seems high?

Interesting stat, @Nezgar

Noticed that one can actually see which number others are by simply hovering pointer over their username and looking at URL.

@will13am We'll see how 2021 turns out, but as of Feb 23 there were 9681 new forum accounts. (54 days). Then I extrapolated: 9681÷54×365=65436 - which I see is a different number than my charts hah, maybe I added another day to the numbers, oh well, close enough for now.

@Nezgar It would be interesting to see how many of those new forum accounts were made specifically to spam users.

@Nezgar your numbers have a gap of ~9600 between the end of 2020 and beginning of 2021

Ahh yep tks, ok fixed that field to "(170312-236982)" - the count stayed the same though. (236982 being an estimated "high" account ID by end of 2021)

Newest account-id is 180206 as of right now 9894 so far in 2021. Recalculating the 2021 extrapolation based on 25 days is 9894÷56×365=64487. only a couple thousand off from original estimate, so still mostly in line...

Re: Community Registered Users Statistics

softech — Thu, 25 Feb 2021 16:16:43 GMT

@Nezgar so 2021 on your chart is an estimation for full year of 2021 and not the actual count of what we have so far?

Yes. The chart uses an estimate for 2021 by extrapolating the first 54 days out to 365. 9894 so far in 2021 as of a few minutes ago.

Read into it what you will.... but keep in mind:

You don't need a community account to use the service, so those without issues may never create an account, so real customer account may be higher.
I suspect "most" people only create an account solely for the purpose of opening a ticket for a moderator
Spammers of course might inflate the 'real user', and technically a single user could create multiple accounts.... (but why? 🙂 )

yes, community account doesn't have to be using the service... but I would assume not every person with a line has a community account, esp those with multiple lines in the same household.

for spammers, it would be interesting if we can get a stat of how many users registered, no post but just private message .. LoL

Nice! Wonder how you rank amongst the other current Oracles. 🙂 Missed 16,000 by a hair!

Why too bad about new customers?
