Well, it's been quite a quarter for the 10 now EM approved boards😲. Just 2 weeks before Q3 started Engagement Mining Transition 6 took place and was quite a shake up with a board removed and none approved from the 4 applications. This has had a knock-on effect as many members were also removed for fraud. What is witnessed is a general slide in activity and presented here is a major factor in the rewards formula and 'growth' that of DAM (Daily Active Members).
Ranked 'Best to Worst' over the 92 days of Q3 along with percentage changes. Also September 30 days and the close is obviously the same as Q3 close, and has been placed in the table for further discussion and comparison. DAM figures are '28 day average' recorded data points.
Q3 brief sum:
For Q3 only the 2 newer EM approved boards of AITAH and PROCHOC have increased. On top of DAM improvement they also account for around 85% of all visits to BBS through the large numbers seen daily in DAU (Daily Active Users).
THEORY, a probationary board from before EM T7 has held on well only losing 10.6% over Q3.
GAMTECH, MWATALK, and SPORTX have all seen drops over Q3 between 20 and 30% which given the reduction in 'Unique Members' visiting BBS daily is generally reflective of overall activity.
METABBS has become quieter throughout Q3 and lost 45.2%. Given this is the most single visited board by 'Unique Members' due to its nature as the admin board for BBS, then it is quite worrying where BBS is heading. As said 20-30% is reflective, 45% is a bit heavy.
MNFTC, INDFAM, and SATIVA are all in the high loss bracket of 60 to 70%. This is not reflective of the general downturn in 'Unique Member' numbers and more is at play with these three boards.
September brief sum:
I added this last month to view if some boards have in essence "Found the bottom" or have slowed to a point that it looks that way. The only board that has had significant growth over September is PROCHOC at 29.2%
However, MNFTC, GAMTECH, THEORY, AITAH, and INDFAM (-4.7% to +5.7% respectively) have arguably found the bottom and thus improvement from here on in? Indeed all these board's rate of descent has slowed relatively to the overall performance seen throughout Q3, and can be seen as a positive sign for the near future.
METABBS, SPORTX, and MWATALK ( -11.8% to -16% respectively) are still dropping, but again reflective of the overall 'Unique Member' numbers of late.
SATIVA at -27.7%, and the worse performer for Q3 overall too is losing it's member base far over the average of general Q3 and September decline. Again there is more to this than just the 'Unique member' drop.
Closing thoughts:
Whilst I thought about giving my opinions about each board (Which I do have, and it would make the post long-winded) I thought is was best not to and just leave this here as mostly a statistical record for September and Q3. DAM as said is a major factor on BBS but I do look forward to another Lee analysis post, as from her wider analysis paints an even more accurate picture.👍
All I wish to add here as observation is the numbers are down due to many removed for fraud, less $$$ on the table and as we all know many were/are here just for that, and as a consequence of these dwindling numbers dissent has taken root. Many unhappy members, moderators, and board owners as you can see from posts and comments which has led to a demotivational cloud for many. Where do we go from here? Up I hope.🙏
If you wish to comment please do, but please do not get personal about it. Yes, you can mention a board but be respectful and thoughtful with your comment/s. If not, it will be hidden by a moderator.
