    VPS statistics:
    Disk Usage: 584 MB
    Bandwith consumed: 4 528 MB/Month
    584 MB4 528 MB/Month

    (Active members are considered those members that have visited in the last 30 days. Due to the forum being roughly 30 days old, that explains the above figure).

    Running costs:
    As explained before, certain costs are hard to specify, due to the site sharing a VPS with another forum, but where possible, I've tried making the distinction as good as I could.

    Constant costs (all in USD, and approximate):
    * Domain registration: 0.83 / month (roughly 10 USD per year, divided by 12)
    * VPS hosting: 20 USD / month (25 GBP / month, divided by 2 sites)

    Advertising:
    10 (ingame ad for 100 ped)

    One time costs:
    vBulletin license: 115 (We bought a leased license (1 year) December last year).
    vbGallery license: 129.
    New vBulletin License: 130.

    (As some background information, we purchased the new license today. As holders of an active forum license, we were entitled to a (valid until October 30th) discount offer for the next version of the forum software suite, which will include forums, blogs, and a content management system (We use a third-party mod for that now, but if the new version is equally good, I'd prefer not having to rely on third-party tools). This also is a license that will last for as long as version 4 of vBulletin will last, which could be several years. All in all, I think we got a pretty sweet deal on that. As soon as the new package becomes available, we'll try and see how steep the conversion process is, and try and work on reconfiguring our individual mods (unless the developers beat us to it), and try to make the switch as seamless and smooth as possible).

    Income:
    Google-Ads: 2.66
    Donations: 25



    (Please note that the month is not finished yet. I just figured I'd add the data today, so I woudln't forget about it. I'll try and update things the 31st to reflect the latest numbers).

    -- Summary and conclusion --

    Statistics went down a little this month concerning Active Members, but overall, we accomplished growth. We also spent quite a bit of cash this month on some additional licenses for products that will help us achieve our goals even better. I blame the drop in activity mostly on a lot the current work happening being non-visible for the time.

    wizzszz has been working hard on having our global tracker reprocess a lot of the globals to ensure we will soon have a far more reliable (and dare I say bullet-proof) way of handling globals. This means far less chances of erronous data, and the reliability of the data being much higher.

    RAZER and Tass have been working hard to ensure our the EntropiaPlanets wiki offers the best possible information about the planet partners, and Entropia and Entropia Universe in general.

    Lykke and myself have been busy working on the upcoming forum upgrade. A lot of challenges there, but I'm confident that the new look and feel of the site as well as the additional features offered by the new version of the forum software will make everybody's life easier. I'm currently working on the EntropiaPlanets Tracker front-end, which will be slightly different from the current implementation, and I personally am loving the new look and feel of it.

    The forum upgrade will take a bit more time, as not all the tools we use on EP have yet been updated for the new version, but as soon as they are, I'll try and pick a date to do so. In the meantime, to make the wait easier, I might post a few screenshots of what to expect some time soon.
     
  10. You abandoned this thread? Or is there a chance to see more monthly stats?

    Actually, i have just been swamped with work and forgot to update. Other than that, i'm not even sure most people care much.

    I can try and see if i can do a new one for september, but i prolly will remove some of the more time consuming and uninteresting stats.

    The google ad revenue for instance is negligable, and the diskspace consumed is pretty useless as a stat.

    I will try and remember to do the stats again in september, though.

    Bandwith consumed: GB/Month (June: 78.9 MB/Month)

    Running costs:
    As explained before, certain costs are hard to specify, due to the site sharing a VPS with another forum, but where possible, I've tried making the distinction as good as I could.

    Constant costs (all in USD, and approximate):
    * Domain registration: 0.83 / month (roughly 10 USD per year, divided by 12)
    * VPS hosting: 20 USD / month (25 GBP / month, divided by 2 sites)
    (Note: As per November 30, the VPS solution has been upgraded to a more scalable solution)

    As mentioned before, I'm stopping to record the costs vs revenue. Mostly seeing the Google Ad revenue is low, and has to be calculated from Danish Crowns to USD (which includes the disadvantage of currency rate fluctuations). A second reason is that we have some different advertising plans running alongside one another, some of which include costs that overlap in one way or another.

    Rest assured that we're not getting rich from the site ;)

    All in all, September was a good month for us :) The explanation for the large spike in both traffic as well as members is undoubtedly the success of the EntropiaTimes, as well as the aquisition of EF by PFC, and the downtime from their upgrade. Let's see if we can do just as well in October :)
