User:Neurario/IRC

Stats Page
The IRC stats page is maintained by myself, and was merely created as an experiment in learning to use the mIRCStats program (http://www.nic.fi/~mauvinen/mircstats/), with which these pages were created. I have kept it though, and allowed it to develop into something I am in some way proud of.

How the stats work:
 * People talk in the IRC channel as usual. This is integral to its use.
 * I then run the stats generator at home, making changes as necessary.
 * This can range from tweaking a user's aliases (how they are identified in the stats) to adding new panels.
 * I then upload it to my web server, and people view the pages at their whim.

Limitations
 * Any lines spoken when Neurario is not in the #mariowiki chat will not be counted. This is due to the way the stats analyse chat logs.

This is not intended to cause fights over, it's only for fun. Maybe it will allow for some intelligent conversation, maybe some thoughtless spamming, but nowadays this is maintained only for fun. :)

Important Changes
 * Jan 25: Expanded the stats charts to five pages of data.
 * Jan 18: Fixed a bug that meant that some text was not indexed at all. This is fixed, and has caused some shift in user rankings. However, these stats are now more current.
 * Jan 16: Restarted the stats page, running on mIRCStats instead of the PISG Perl script I was using before.

Survey
Some information can be gleaned from everyday use of the chat, forum, and wiki. Some however, cannot. And some may not like that information available. I created a little form that users of the chat can fill out if they want to be counted, or don't want to be. (after all, you have the right to exclude yourself from the stats entirely.)

'''However, on that same note, be careful as you are asked to provide information such as your birthdate and country. NO PERSONAL INFORMATION IS REQUIRED. ''' If you so desire you can fill out the minimum and submit. This is up to you.

Chat Logs
A complete log of what happens in the chat. Be warned, you should probably save it to your computer, then open it up in a supported text editor.
 * #mariowiki (August 2008 to January 2009)
 * Size: 10 MegaBytes
 * #mariowiki (Jan 13 2009 to Jan 31)
 * Size: 4 MegaBytes
 * Notes: This month had us fighting off occasional troll attacks from SonicRocks, Liger_Zero's crew, as well as random communities sparked by the aforementioned trying to pick fights with us. So be warned for SOME cussing or adult themes (not that it goes unpunished). That said, we do have our fair share of normal chat.
