Historical activity
Curious about activity rates here at BlogNomic, I’ve just compiled some data on the number of proposals made each month - it’s felt significantly quieter lately, and I wondered whether that was backed up by the numbers. The data’s available on the graphs wiki page if anyone wants a look.
So there’s a clear dip there - 2012 was our first year since 2005 in which we never reached more than 100 proposals a month. In 2010 we had an average of 90 a month, in 2011 it dropped a little to 81, but last year we only managed an average of 53 proposals a month. Any thoughts on what might be happening here? Have we just drifted into a general tendency among older players to tinker less with the ruleset, with new players respecting and reflecting the reduced proposal rate? Is that a bad thing, or just a different way of playing?

Interesting data. It would be interesting to see historical player numbers data, but that’s probably impossible to compile with any reasonable degree of accuracy.
