PPT Science Experiment

[Jenna!]

I used up a half hour of my life (9:10pm to 9:40pm) to make this chart.

The times at the bottom are hard to read, but its minute by minute.

Its a chart on how many people are on PPT.

I conclude from it that the later in the day it gets, the less people are on.

Perhaps you want to do an entire week, or factor in the fact there are timezones

[DiscordantNote]

A little advice that could help you with this and future science projects:

1. Longer time span, probably a day would be good.
2. Record it for every half hour or so, not every minute.
3. Take data for multiple days and find averages.
4. Take into account weekends, holidays, time zones, downtimes on Neopets, etc.

Hope that helps! Personally, I've noticed that everyone is usually on after my supper-time, about 8:00-10:00 PM EST.

It's an interesting project though...if you put a little more effort into it maybe we can use it for something, like SL will use it to figure out the best times to take the site down or something.

Nice chart you've got there! Are you going to go all the way and record data every half hour? Thus giving you approximatly... 25 minute sleep breaks?

Ooooh. Another random statistician is in the ranks eh?

peaking at 100 people.
not very many by all accounts is it.

Hmm thats really cool looking. It would probably be more interesting to get a daily chart or something like that recorded every half hour or so. It would just take a dosen or so pinkpters recording how many people are on every half hour while they are no themselves, and wed probably get every half hour.

[DM was on fire!]

Cool! If you want me to, I can help you when you can't get on.

Wow. That's awesome. It seems really like there's more users on, by your graph, then really post very often. O_o

I don;t make sense, though, so ignore me.

You two need to fight to the death now!

This is very interesting.

You know? First, I thought it was the whole day. xD

This is a neat idea, I always sort of wondered whether there was a pattern to how many people were on when. I think if you kept this project going for say a week and recorded it every hour or so we could get some interesting results.
