A few interesting (maybe to me only) facts about CPOTM:

Although there have been 237 posts so far before this month is half over, last August there were 523. That month also was highest for views (44,880) and posts (1,358).

The average 1/2-month total for posts is 112; 2 months (October, November) saw 0

The average number of views per month, not counting this month, is 12,471

The average number of posts per month, not counting this month, is 365


Wow! Those are some huge numbers! 44,880 views in one month!


Pretty sure that's mostly just pdela hitting F5.

You're not here more than five minutes and you're soliciting votes


Which you you suppose is bigger?  His shrine to trysts or his shrine to himself?

Everyone should give and receive at least one mercy (vote) in their life.

Wasn't that when we found out about it and took it over, electing LisaV and ushering in a new era for CPOTM? And then there was the sectarian violence as Alan Tudor attempted to have his appointed successor elected by his zombies, and then formed his own rival contest.


Great month! Greatest ever, I imagine (though I wasn't here when batgirl won)Laughing

I wonder what percentage of the posts are a direct result of the Pdela Traveling Whine and Promote Show?  The Tour seems to open earlier each month. Cool

New pdela strategy, methinksWink But I would imagine he still accounts for at least half the posts, and probably most of the viewsLaughing

This evening, for instance.  I was away from the computer for about 4 hours.  Coming back online I saw 55 new posts in this thread.  "Aha," I sez to myself, before even clicking to go to the thread, "pdela must have re-appeared."
