There are forum statistics on the bottom of the main page.

Fair enough. I think it'd be easier to go by the # on a specific post, because each post has its own unique number (at least it should), and would be easier to track that way, IMO.
Presumably the first post since Rob Stringer banned is the OP in this thread: https://vegascasinotalk.com/forum/sh...ll=1#post52857
#52,857
It's been 14 days since the ban.
This post (mine) is: https://vegascasinotalk.com/forum/sh...ll=1#post53599
#53,599
Difference is 742.
I'll try to find a post on Sept. 15, around 5-6pm (same time Rob was banned). And compare the #.
Quahog on 9/15 around 3pm: https://vegascasinotalk.com/forum/sh...ll=1#post52167
#52,167
Difference is 690.
So there hasn't been a sizable increase or decrease in activity, based on # of posts. But if you look at quality, it seems there's been a nice improvement, particularly since Rob Stringer hasn't been posting. I guess to me it seemed like there were more posts recently because I had (still have) Rob Stringer blocked and wouldn't read his garbage.

Just for fun, let's see how many posts there've been on WOV since 9/29 (2 weeks), since Alan thinks there's more activity on this forum for some reason.
Latest post I see is from MaxPen: https://wizardofvegas.com/forum/info...ss/#post609852

In fairness, there was an unusual event, of major interest that occurred, that you would expect increased # of posts. But regardless of whether there were slightly more or less posts in that time frame is meaningless. It's a small sample size and as AP's we learn very early on, to not draw any conclusions based on a small sample sizes. It really has no significance.
In this short run, the site seems more active, because there are more posts that most of us are interested in and interested in replying to and less "garbage". In short it is just a more enjoyable site for most of us.
But as time goes on, and more members that lurk and read and sit on the sidelines become comfortable and more members that pop in only once in a while, see the improved atmosphere, I think (and hope) you will see increases that are more meaningful and you can draw some real conclusions from.
Why? Why are you comparing this site to Wov? Oh yeah, because you are a guy and guys are competitive and have the need to compare "things".
Are you trying to say Wov is a better site? More significant?
I suppose you may get some arguments from some of the deniers, but not from me. I always liked Wov (just not real fond of Wizard the last 18 months). I always thought Wov was a decent site and had a good mix of AP, gambling, vegas and other discussions. That's why I chose to participate there for 4 years...well until some outsider showed up and demanded that Mike exile me. But that's another story....maybe I will tell it to you someday.
That's true. Although I'd argue to an extent it just shifted the content of the posts. Sort of like the posts in "Trump's the best president ever" thread (maybe you read the title differently than I do) practically came to a halt and people started posting in the "mandalay bay shooter" thread (it was getting like 4-10 pages of posts per day (10 posts per page), and since the shooting, 36 posts).
Yes, it is a small sample, though. I guess we'll just have to see how it goes in the next few weeks.
No. I just thought it was funny Alan thought this forum was (is? FFS grammar FTL) more active than WOV. Since I was already looking at post counts on here, I figured it'd be a good enough time to do the same thing on WOV.
Wait!....Who were his puppets? (I am so lost when it comes to these things? )
Seedvalue, what is up with your constant bumping up of threads that were forgotten about YEARS ago to write complete nonsense?

Take comfort in the fact that no one is actually backing up his wishes to have you permanantly banned.
Smart is knowing a Tomato is a fruit.
Wise is knowing a Tomato doesn't belong in a fruit salad.
I am glad to get my full posting rights back! Thank you Dan!
I disagree with my 2017 self regarding this ban. I shouldn't have done it, even with Rob's shitposting at the time.
