| Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web. While unregistered users are able to browse the forum on a basic level, registering an account provides additional forum access not visible to guests as well as the ability to join in discussions and contribute yourself!

I forgot to do the stats of the month for August, so I'll just group it with September's post to avoid clutter. AUGUST: *Chart not included due to poor quality NEW MEMBERS Daily Average: 1 Record High: 3 on 24 August 2014 Total: 25 TOPICS CREATED Daily Average: 3 Record High: 7 on 7 August 2014 Total: 79 POSTS CREATED Daily Average: 137 Record High: 262 on 5 August 2014 Total: 4384 MOST VIEWED FORUMS 1. General Discussion - 28,272 views 2. Evolutionary Continuum - 8,369 views 3. Alternative Evolution - 7,359 views 4. General Spec - 3,482 views 5. The Habitable Zone - 2,929 views
August is when school starts for most people, so the drop in activity was expected. General Discussion getting nearly 30,000 views is also expected, as most people usually hang around there during the early school year when time for keeping up with other threads is at a premium and most of them experience a lull in updates anyways. SEPTEMBER: NEW MEMBERS Daily Average: 2 Record High: 8 on 11 September 2014 Total: 32 TOPICS CREATED Daily Average: 2 Record High: 6 on 7 September 2014 Total: 63 POSTS CREATED Daily Average: 107 Record High: 210 on 28 September 2014 Total: 3328 MOST VIEWED FORUMS 1. General Discussion - 2,346 views 2. The Habitable Zone - 1,968 views 3. Alternative Evolution - 1,962 views 4. Official Competitions - 1,819 views 5. Evolutionary Continuum - 1,728 views [/i]
Activity continued to decline somewhat though it seems to be equalizing as people adjust to the school year schedule. Strangely we seemed to have gotten a lot of new members this month: perhaps interest generated by school-induced boredom? |

We should all aspire to die surrounded by our dearest friends. Just like Julius Caesar. "The Lord Universe said: 'The same fate I have given to all things from stones to stars, that one day they shall become naught but memories aloft upon the winds of time. From dust all was born, and to dust all shall return.' He then looked upon His greatest creation, life, and pitied them, for unlike stars and stones they would soon learn of this fate and despair in the futility of their own existence. And so the Lord Universe decided to give life two gifts to save them from this despair. The first of these gifts was the soul, that life might more readily accept their fate, and the second was fear, that they might in time learn to avoid it altogether." - Excerpt from a Chanagwan creation myth, Legends and Folklore of the Planet Ghar, collected and published by Yieju Bai'an, explorer from the Celestial Commonwealth of Qonming Tree That Owns Itself

I would really love to see the data for an entire year grouped into one chart. Also, is there a chance that we could have a downloadable file with the data so we can make our own graphs and play around with the data? |

Coming Skywell - a world where ... well, it's kind of complicated, maybe you should just read the topic. | |

I've tried making charts before (you can see em on the july thread), but you do have to search through the data yourself. At least I think. Maybe there is a way to download the data. Either way, the results would certainly be interesting. |

I could certainly make graphs for an entire year, quite easily. As for sharing the data, I don't know of any easy way to do that with the tools in the Admin control panel. |
