After the brouhaha about which group to post to that occurred at the beginning of January, I expected so see some shifts in the trends, namely that posts to aba/abma should drop (aba more than abma) and posts to abmar should rise.

And sure enough, that's what happened. The difference between drops of aba and abma are too small to be convincingly significant, but it's there. The rise of abmar is more dramatic, and marks the first time abmar has sustained greater numbers than either of the other groups.

Interestingly, these trends appear to have started in December, but the swings definitely got more prounounced at the time of the discussions (1st week in Jan).

Wow! I'd been noticing that ABMAR is always at the top of my list of "favourites" on Easynews, but that's quite a significant increase!

I forgot to add my disclaimer...

The plots represent a count of the number of posted files only, which correlates poorly with amount (bytes) posted. Lots of older and smaller files are posted to abmar, including DB[Z|GT] and Sailor Moon files, for example.

The plots are for amusement purposes only Smile. No wagering.

Nice plot as always. The graphs, I mean.
