5 threads have received any input in 12 EU daytime hours today.
What happened? Have the scams driven people off? Has posts removed by CCP gotten people annoyed? Or is the market in EVE just old news, no new challenges, all been seen before.
For myself, I got a bit tired with MD drama a couple months ago, but by now I'd like to see a bit more of that thanks.

Yeah. I noticed the same being the last replier on two threads here for hours this morning.
Either: Industrial and marketeering people have a common urge to suddenly go on holidays in this time of the year, or and this might be more likely; they are all terribly occupied with test server PI stuff; planning devious strategies, making spreadsheets, calculating potential profits, etc. Help us to make parrots game related today! |

It's dead as there's little worth discussing. I tend to be logged into the game getting up to mischief during weekends so I don't bother posting much.

A large portion of MD must have had to leave their basement for the day.

I left only for a very short while, to say hi to my mother. I do that once a year on Mother's Day.

Btw Mothers day weekend is the busiest restaurant day of the year, so, as I'm a server, my day sucked, and I couldn't contribute to the MD forum. Also, I'm busy with .01ing to post, as was mentioned. In other news I'm buying T4U shares at 1.05M each.

Don't you worry.
When Tyrannis hits and some successfully reduce the digits of their wallet, the face of MD will be rejuvenated like never before. |

But, to my experience, "summer time" has all those years been a slower time for EVE. -- EVEWalletAware - an offline wallet manager |

Nevertheless, there are fewer posts in May 2010 than in May 2009.
A quick look via EVE-search (search on the word "not" on MD forum) gave me 367 posts in May 2010. Same period last year had 557 posts, and the months January-April 2010 had between 500 and 700 posts each.
So there is no doubt that MD is suffering atm. ----------------------- Join "Signatures" channel - the chatroom for traders |

Throwing out random oddnesses here... Posting graph of MD since Januaray - Linkage
It do seem to go down yes, but on the 16th of April a big drop which lasts for about a week. I posted my Jita thread on the 14th, and also it was confirmed a lot of spam was gone a while after that thread as well, could MD posters and spammers be linked? Either by stop posting or perhaps accounts banned (temp/fully) during the period...
Overall the posting habits of the forum has remained pretty constant (apart from when the server died last week as the posting spiked pretty good then).

As i said earlier , try the same thing on evesearch for the other forums and i think you'll see that in general there is less posting and it is not something that is only 'effecting' MD forum.
I could be wrong offcourse but i am a frequent follower of all eve-o posts appart from events and gatherings/recruitment and it appears to be going down for some time now.

On a more serious note, are you able to make similar graphs for a longer timescale, spanning at least a full year? It would perhaps show the seasonal trends some people expect.

I can generate pretty much any graphs since 2003-06-01 (as that was the first post)

Yeah, anything that would compare spring 2010 with spring 2009, and maybe compare that for MD and GD, would be sweet. ----------------------- Join "Signatures" channel - the chatroom for traders |

Pretty sure it's not isolated to MD. C&P and even CAOD have been a lot slower lately as well.

Quite interesting.
Last year there also was a downward trend and though this year's trend is a bit steeper, the difference isn't that great. Last year there was a peak in April and this year in January. Other than that the graphs are essentially the same.
GD on the other hand has a pretty constant rate of posts throughout both periods (a slight down slope), only this year the rate is only half that of last year (partially caused by the Apocrypha peak in posts). Compared to that, MD has been doing great lately.

Probably because there is something new coming in the patch rather then just some eye candy or some simple updates to old-outdated systems. I mean they are added an entire new industrial aspect to the game, a lot of people are probably prepping for the rappage of POS Fuels.
Chribba - I believe it was 2007 was the last full year MD was at the bottom of the forum. Can we get a 2007 full year vs a 2009 full year compare?
Would be nice to see the difference :)

I bolded the part about Apoc. IIRC, didn't it come out in March last year? That would explain the peak in April with the decline after that as all the "OMG HALP!! I'M STUCK IN A WH WITH NO PROBES" threads started tapering off.
