Weekly forum roundup - 18 Oct 2013

Former_MSE_Michael

Hi all,

This is the second installment of the forum stats that we're going to be sharing with you every Friday. We kicked this off just last week, and you can view the first post here, if you like.

Most popular boards

Unmoved at the top of the pile, Competitions Time was the number one board again this week, helped by the success of forumite itchypig who won £15,555 - so a big congratulations. The rest of the top five were a slight shuffle on last week:

• It's gone, but was it any good?
• Grabbit
• Marriages
• Employment, jobseeking and training

Given the depressing developments involving energy prices, the Gas & Electricity board has been popular over the last two days too.

Popular threads this week

Top of the charts this week with 37,000 views, and over 1,400 replies, was the latest installment of the Tesco bargains/glitches thread: The Everlasting Loveliness (that) Is The Elite.

The second most popular thread was the Weekly Flylady - for tips and motivation on how to do the housework/cleaning more quickly.

Also, the thread work might cost me my home is a sobering read, and a topic you may want to offer support on.

And finally…

We've had quite a few of these in the MSE office; join yvonne13 and share your best funny overheard conversations at work.

Get involved

It'd be much appreciated if you could feedback any suggestions or questions you have, and to let us know what you think. We really hope this is useful and you get involved in this week's best discussions.

Have a grand weekend all.

Hi Michael,

When you say "most popular board" is this measured from most posts, most threads, most views or perhaps a combination of all of these?

Thanks

never seen this before; very clever apt slogan

i am liking your idea Michael, but not necessarily the selection of threads based on viewing though. Sometimes we have lovely threads like these, not a lot of hype, showboating and accolades as in os but very soulful, realistic and earnest, imo and the tacit support is very true to the mse spirit. Would you care to give them the credit? Likewise I saw this very clever thread on drip feed saving - no response from anyone, not even a courtsey welcome response from any money savvy people. It is lonely but i think if anyone cared to respond, it would've enriched the forum a lot more than all the os faction fuelled chattering threads put together, imo, only ofcourse because i appreciate that we look for different things.

Hi Bob,

It's measured on most views. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the reply Michael. Yes, it was just a little question that came up in the Comps Chat Corner as to whether it was views or Posts/Threads posted.
