BYC Pulse

[xtremevermonter]

Is there any way to determine how busy the forums are at any particular time? Could this be measured by posts per hour, new member registrations, or any statistic like that?

I think it may be kind of neat to have some sort of "pulse meter" or something fun like that.

On the back end we track daily stats of posts, new members, new topics. We also run server stats / analytics, but none of this is made public.

Most members keep an eye on the "members online" count on the bottom of the index page and this is a really good proxy for everything else (posts, topics, new members, etc.)
