I've always been curious to know the number of unique accounts that post across all of the RSOF over a given period of time. I feel like this would be an interesting data point that would better measure RSOF activity compared to the
Active Users Online
counter.

Having just personally returned from a forum hiatus, the forums appear to be just as active (or inactive, depending on your perspective) as when I used to post regularly. In the very least, I see a decent number of unique posters, including forum regulars and casual posters.

If you had to estimate, how many unique forumers do you think post per day? per week? per month?

It would be nice if there were real data points on this.

I'd say maybe around-generously 50 players are actually active and utilize this space commonly, every month :P . And that's out of how many hundreds-of-thousands+ of accounts? - (Owner) Ornery Onions -

To be honest ... '
there we go again
' ... another variant of appreciation threads that will be used to suck-up towards each other for no obvious reason than to defame others for not contributing to the same group of people.

'
Every single player is a unique individual
' and when they have time to shed some light into these '
RuneScape Official Forums
' than that is a great contribution.

Sometimes there are a lot ... other moments there are less ... but there are very many players just following the news here in these forums by reading what is posted.

I was estimating anywhere from 300-400 unique accounts posting in a given week. A lot of forumers simply post on a single thread of interest and move on with their gaming.

That's my thinking. Outside of forumers that post regularly, there still seems to be a lot of players that make a few posts here and there on occasion. On any given day, there seems to be a quite a few of them.

To be more straight-forward, I'd love to see raw data on posters and posts over given periods of time. If I'm not mistaken, there used to be a few forumers that would collect and post this kind of data regularly (I think it simply focused on # of posts across forums, though). There also used to be a JMod that would collect and share data on miscellaneous RuneScape game and website facts. I would be very interested to see this data if it exists.

I'm mostly just curious is all.
