Dear administrators
I am a student doing a MBA. As a student team we are studying leadership amongst online communities. We think that Reprap is a very good example in the core of our subject. The aim of our study is to understand quantitatively what are the good practices to enhance online communities. This could also help you enhance community life.
To do that, we need statistics. We would like to gather statistics from your forum such as :
For Top 100 viewed topics:
-number of posts per topics, number of views per topics
-number of posted topics per top 10 posting members of these topics
-average time between posts per top 10 posting members of these topics
-number of posted topics per top 100 posting members

Same as above for top 100 posted topics.

We are not interested by the name of members. We are only interested by statistics.

Would you please help us in providing us these results, for example as an excel sheet or text doc or what ever?
We could also help you to build expected SQL queries in you DB if you accept.
If our intentions or query are not clear, please tell me.

You can contact me directly for private discussions.

Thank you in advance for your help

Emmanuel

Give me some web space and I'll upload a database snapshot. Expect something like a GibiByte or two. It's plain MySQL.
