Did something bad happen here?

Wonders where most those posts are...games, chat threads....or newbs posting Q's and experienced members answering them??
Raising chicks forum is smokin' the last few weeks...now coops is too.

The New Members Intro's have been phenomenal in numbers joining. A lot of greeters are having a hard time keeping up with all the new members and those are just the ones that have chosen to post an Introduction.

Is that a challenge for me to do some cray-cray sql queries into the database!?!?!?!

My "gut" says it's more of the latter, especially considering how many peeps are buying up baby chicks and tons joining the community looking for help.

Yup, that's definitely in-line with what I'm seeing and expecting. I think coops will get even more crazy the next month as tiny fuzz-butts grow up and need to be put outside!

It will be interesting to see the newbies migrate through the forums. Coops/runs coming up, then maybe ER or predator forums would be my guess.

I’ve noticed quite an uptick in new chicken owners as well. Good golly, we might put the commercial egg producers out of business. Well, not really.

Hey there @Nifty-Chicken, are you still in lockdown?

Probably so, then it will be an uptick in Articles!

Yup, and extended through May.

Massachusetts has been extended through 18 May. I’m high risk, so I’m quite happy here in my Wee Farm Bubble. I have so much to do around here that I don’t miss much. Good luck to you and your neighbors.

There are general daily ebbs / flows, but we're still seeing record-numbers of daily posts... so it's definitely not "quieter"

Ya, definitely more posts the last few weeks than we've seen for years... so I'd guess it might be related to the posts themselves? If you're looking for more replies, perhaps adjust the subject lines (more / clear detail is better) and add more information, images, etc. to your posts to increase engagement.

So, ya, there are way more people and way more posts than we've seen for a while, so the data is definitely showing BYC is far from quiet

What are the numbers on the left side of this table?
I can't see them.

Yes, this section is on fire.
