Contrary to assertions elsewhere, the worst post per day rate in December was 6 which occurred on December 15th (and that was the only day the ppd fell to single digits). The best day in December had 47 posts (and this was achieved twice, on Dec 2 and Dec 7).

And so, the final calendar year average tallies are as follows:

All 4 Quarters	- Total Posts in 2009	- Annual Post Per Day Rate -
1 January to 31 December 2008	7457	20.43

Other interesting asides, our best day this year for ppd was 10 September, which had 73 posts. Our worst day this year was 3 posts, ironically achieved 3 times - once on April 26th and twice in May on the 6th and 20th.

Our best Month was August with a ppd rate of nearly 35, and our worst month was June with a ppd rate of just a touch under 10.

The average monthly post total for 2008 was - 621.4 posts per month, so December 08 finished a little above the average (again contrary to assertions elsewhere that December 08 was a gangbuster month for us.
