All autumn myself and thewarn have been working on a high-tech page-trawling algorithm (at least that's how us geeks spell it) so we can bring you the all-important Christmas Day posting stats for 2013. Anyway, here goes...

TOTAL POSTS:
254, including new threads.

SUBJECTS OF DISCUSSION:
158 - Christmas (inc. gifts, TV and films)
38 - Music
19 - Family
19 - Sport (inc. Haxball)
8 - Prescription drugs
4 - Gunk
3 - I'M LEAVING THE INTERNET
2 - Cat gifs
1 - Scotland
1 - Alan Turing
1 - Smoking

MOST PROLIFIC POSTERS:
13 - fappable, cat_race
12 - Icarus_Smicarus, fluffybum
10 - Severred799

...43 other DiSers posted once, but that's fine.

Unfortunately some of the more complicated features of the program seem borked, and so i can't bring you more in-depth stats (i'll have to have a word with warny on Monday). We had worked on quite a complicated formula to work out averages based on time of posting, subject, hardship, etc, etc, but this hasn't been possible.

Congrats to everyone who didn't pretend to be busy on Christmas Day and who appreciates that it's a cynical money maker and ultimately just really fucking boring. Next year we'll be looking for a 15% rise in posts all round.

You're welcome.
