I'll let Ophichus give the corresponding CC stats (and have kept their stats in case Dr Bonham is tempted to fudge the numbers), but the fact is that they have used voodoo mathematics in the past to tally their figures, so one mustn't place too much faith in their figures this time round.

For instance, on 30 June 2008 Kevin stated that total new posts in the quarter for CC were 22744 giving them a post per day (ppd) rate of 98.1. However, 22744 divided by 91 days would be considerably more than 98, so as I said, there seem to be some voodoo mathematics going on with Kevin's figures. Anyway, this past quarter the swamp appears to have gained 22189 new posts (about 550 less than last quarter), so I'd estimate their ppd rate to be around 93 based on Kevin's 30 June calculations.

But regardless, as we can all see OzChess did well in terms of post per day activity this past quarter - perhaps better than any previous quarter. The stats above do not include correspondence games, and were compiled from the Admin Panel > Statistics > Posting Statistics function.
