hummm… do web crawlers usually create accounts?

Cus account creation seems to be increasing…

~RM

We NEED to keep it moving in that direction. MORE [GOOD] SCRIPTS DAMNIT.

Web crawlers must have a built in script to create accounts now. To access more parts of forums :)
But if activity is really going up, then thats great!

Sorry let me be more accurate then.

98.26% of those guests are web crawlers.


Stats from Aug 2 -> Dec 2

Variable    N     Mean  StDev  SE Mean        95% CI
C1        128  177.000  9.254    0.818  (175.397, 178.603)

Whats C1/C2 = ? days/register?

I don't think 128 days is a good period if you want to look at recent activity. Take the last two weeks or so.

Sorry, forgot to label.

C1 is users C2 is days.

Okay then the average activity grow over the last 2 weeks is 1.294 per day. Thats not significant enough to actually call growth.

Activity is indeed going up :)

If only it actually worked like that ;)

It sure is growth, just over a different period. I think 128 days not a good period when you're looking at recent growth. Much like using a history of 4 years. You'd probably say activity went down then too, even though it may have been going up for a few months. :)

From: Hobbit

It actually does.

SRL has been in negative growth
SRL is now in positive growth

That is why the change is so apparent.

1.2% might not be much, but as it is coming from a 'recession' it actually makes a big change to the chart.

;)

And I can tell you more: the day we reached 0% (minimal) growth per day was the day the average growth and the minimal growth lines crossed.

That means that from that day on we have entered a trend of having more activity than the previous day, and more activity than what the long-term trend would lead you to expect.

Finally, a trend is analysed by it's peaks.
An average gives you very little detail about anything.

Proof enough? :p


Nah, but if Hobbit can specify such an exact number, there must be some point in his posts? For indeed your graphs show visitors, RM, whilst his show activity.

Should definitely be moved to Celebrations :D

Its not really apparent though.

And thats 1.294 users per day. If you want a percentage that is ~0.733%

We may be in a small upward trend for the time being, but it is not large enough a trend to be sustained. Small meaning a variance of 9.254 users over the last 4 months and 10.322 over the last 2 weeks.

Point being right now we are growing.
Whether the trend is sustained it will depend on if we keep on growing or not..

Activity is going up :) That's all I care about for now :p

Whether we end up growing 3% per year
or 5% per year, doesn't really mater until we are actually growing by that much.

We were on negative growth and now we are back in growth. We just have to keep it that way :)

~RM

Bump.

We've crossed the 1500 users line, and I'm happy to say we're reaching 200 daily users

We should have new/different methods to attract more users in SRL. <3 les start thinking

Sounds like good thinking to me man :)

Have you checked out the latest stuff on reflection, OpenGL or Injection? :D Or just….. the community vibe. :)

~RM

We never ended up getting people posting videos of SRL working I don't think, did we? I dunno, I thought that woulda worked pretty well for publicity, just spam the links around? :p

Rep'd for good idea

~RM

IMO, opening the door to the OpenGL world is the best way to attract (smart) users. It's a whole new field that hasn't yet been explored. Whether this involves creating a whole new bot based around OpenGL "interception"? I don't know.

You have to stop using Injection as a synonym for packets etc as everyone recognizes Injection as injecting accessor methods into the client…

Also, when I mention SRL online, people say "EWW SCAR". Because, yes, we had memory problems, and scripts were buggier than the injection (n3ss3s' meaning of injection) bots.

What we need to do if find a way to provide a stable platform, like possibly Simba, or maybe an OpenGL bot, to provide the image that we have a solid foundation.

So, for the time being, the best thing we can do to help the rising trend in membership is to get the word out about Simba. Don't say its the new SCAR. Just say that SRL has a new bot, Simba.

inb4 Freddy-rage, so no offense Freddy, not saying SCAR was bad at all, in fact, I loved it. I'm just saying that it (partially due to the fact that it was the pure color age for us) yielded less reliable results than the alternatives.

Having an OpenGL based bot would also allow us to utilize the multitude of C/C++ programmers out there that don't know pascal or Java.

That was the least organized post in history, but w/e.

First time I see 300+ registered users in a long time :)

Just a suggestion:
How about make spam bots to sit at the GE or Lumbridge all day and spam SRL's name all over? One downside though is that it might SRL a bit of a bad name. However, there is of course the upside of an increased number of members.

nah, we're not desperate for members.. ;) I wouldn't find this advisable as fragex defo wouldn't find it funny :p

Especially since when you google SRL, we don't show up until lower middle of page 3 :p

I'm game for that.

"Active Members" has been increasing steadily anyways. Plus, I thought our goal was to blend in as humans, not stand out as bots..?

Dont. That will attract unwanted attention.

"Villavu"

From: Smartzkid
"Villavu"

Yes, but he suggested spamming "SRL" everywhere. Who would search for villavu if we are spamming "SRL"

SpamBotting is lame.

It's nice to see more activity.

Also, my "SRL" shows up on upper page 2.

I would agree with not spamming SRL everywhere, and I would also agree that opening the door to C/C++ users would increase our attractivness to a broader scripter spectrum!! Plus its what I'm learning in school.

2200 users in the last 24 hours.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. While spamming SRL would get us absolutely nowhere, spamming villavu would net us a huge amount of leechers.

If I were to spam something, it would be mysterious and unsearchable - something along the lines of SRL is NINJA.

What is wrong with having leechers, they don't HARM the community, they just don't contribute.

Please take a quick trip to the RSBot forums and you will understand ;)

Yea, the leachers would grow… but to me that is why it is important to somewhat distinguish between registered/jr/mems/sr/dev - keeping a few working scripts to everybody who doesn't contribute in any way. and working their way up through community. As such, it would better promote villavu as a spot on the web and promote learning and helping to have access to better things… no, leacher's aren't great… but the activity starts somewhere.

And not letting leechers in cuts out a large percentage of potential contributors.

We are neither stopping nor cutting them out. We just don't want a mass influx of the wrong kind of leechers nor a target painted on our back by spamming our name across runescape for all of jagex to see.

Agree. I'm not that active anymore, but SRL seems like a place where bad spammers and leechers haven't infiltrated. We actually have contributing members, and the leechers don't make much of a difference.

Well, rsbot scripts subforum does have ~700 viewers…

Double post / gravedig.


Update on this? I noticed we have plenty of members online today…

Well, either we are running more scripts or there are just more scripts with stats.

Heh, I think the competition for stats rank is just heating up among us stats whores ;)
