Game Numbers vs Date
Posted: Fri Oct 05, 2007 4:52 pmIt's been a while since I made any stat thread, I'm sure Robinette feels a bit jaded.
With 1,000,000 games rapidly approaching, I though I would graph games vs. time and see the trend. I expected a nice exponential graph, and this is pretty close. However, I'm surprised by how linear the trend is after the first 2 data points. It seems like games are not being created much faster now than they were last year. But much faster than when the site was first created.
Note: The dates I used were the dates when the game was first initialized, since thats all I have access to. Game Numbers are ordered by the date they are created, not when the game is filled and actually begins. So there is a slight difference between the order of the game numbers and the order in which they start.
