Hey. Just got an idea... why not make an activity barometer, ie sort of a flux-meter of posts that makes a moving average over a week and normalizes over a day (or hour if there's a lot of visitors). Sort of:
[cite]
flux = sum(posts(t), t=t0-7...t0) / 7 [posts/day]
[/cite]
or
[cite]
flux = sum(posts(t), t=t0-7*24...t0) / (7*24) [posts/h]
[/cite]
with autoranging (I guess it won't be that hard to implement such a feature, just a if-else structure)
and it could be implemented with a graphical "thermometer" in the footer of the forum-page or somewhere discrete. Any thoughts on this?
Edit: Since PunRes.org forum is down, I don't know where else to post this. Sorry if I placed this is in the wrong forum.
Edit: Added install instructions at the top...
However, many were excited and some may have enjoyed the experience.
