Hitman Harris from Jets Insider told me about this board and I came over. I was pleasantly surprised to find such a beautiful board. Good job Max and good job all posters who make this site the best Jets board on the interwebz. So I just went over there to see what it looked like. The Sanchez thread has 7 posts. There are threads on page one that are a month old. It looks like they are getting a handful of posts a day. Pretty glad we passed up on Scout's offer.

TuscanyTile2 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Is there any way to check stats to figure out the top 5 people on JN who have the highest ratio of # of posts to positive reputation? I guess Max is probably #1 with 73,342 posts with an incredible 513,999 (actually I just gave him reputation to give him an even 514,000) for a ratio of 7.01 positive rep per post. Who would round out the top 5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't realize TomShane and DickKotite (who I'm not sure I've ever seen on here) were part of it too. I joined here after being a pretty longtime member of nj.com's Jets forum. NJ.com had crappy forums to begin with but then they rolled out a new version that was somehow MUCH crappier. Someone there said "go to jetnation.com everyone". I'm glad I did. This is one of the best sports forums I've seen. Maybe the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've done damn well. I shoulda just stayed here when you all first set up shop tbqh. Woulda, coulda, shoulda. I will start by saying I have always taken this stuff way too seriously. If I cared as much about a business as I do about JetNation I really believe I would be a millionaire, lol. Anyhow a long time ago I put together this dashboard report. Basically looking at all the forums and how they are doing. Over the years I expanded it to include social media. And years ago that is why we decided to focus so much on making JetNation a site that encompasses Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram etc. Anyhow that ramble aside check out these stats. My script screen scrapes post counts from sites. I looked at it last night and found this one interesting. Here are the current JI Stats from the landing strip or whatever they call the main football forum now: 06/27/15 Post Count: 324,532 - 3:07am 04/02/16 Post Count: 326,761 - 3:21am 2,229 posts in their football forum in just over 9 months. WOW. Some of them could be auto posts, I didn't dig deeper to check. That is like an average of 7 posts per day. Needless to say, I am pretty glad that JetNation said no thank you when Scout had us out to their offices in Rockefeller Center. Really glad we turned down the 2nd meeting to meet their CEO.

How big is this site vs JI at its peak? I have those #'s but they are only available to VIP Members. To answer seriously, I am not sure what kind of page views they get. I know where everything stands forum wise. But we do pretty well with our articles, because of a really strong social media following and the partnership with YES Network. They can send our content to a group of 100,000 plus with a simple RT or Share. So what I am saying is I don't know where ji ever was page view wise at its peak. But I am happy with where we are at right now. Thanks everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted April 3, 2016 Author Share Posted April 3, 2016 One other completely random stat thing that I didn't know. Did you know the "views" listed next to each forum thread is the number of people (unique) that read that thread? I always thought if once person went in 5 times that it would show 5 views. I opened a support ticket saying there was a bug after merging all the Fitzpatrick threads. The views didn't increase. They explained to me that they can't increase it because there is no way to easily tell who viewed each thread when compared to other threads. So in this case the 16,000 plus for the Fitz thread would actually be much higher because I merged it from like 10 different threads. Random but I never knew that was how it worked. Glad to see that we have had almost 31,000 different people read the free agency forum thread though. Pretty cool. I am going to have to put some thought into my posts now that we know so many people are reading this stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
