FActivity (pronounced fack-tiv-it-tee) is a site that provides historical usage statistics for FurAffinity. Since FA admins added usage statistics to the bottom of each page, I have been gathering it to answer questions such as "When is the site busiest?" or "When should I post my art?".
FActivity is a little project I've been tinkering with on and off for months now. Thankfully, since it took so long to get operational, I now have approximately 7 months' worth of data regarding FA user activity. I have been collecting data via a site-scraping script that runs every 15 minutes, since the statistics reflect activity over the last 15 minutes.
Along the bottom of the plot, you should see numbers from "00" to "23"- these are hours of the day. You will also notice that the background cycles between blue and yellow- this represents day and night time. The deepest blue corresponds to midnight, and the brightest yellow is noon.
Also, I have configured the graph to automatically determine your local time zone, so while the data remains the same, the data will be easier to interpret. That was a neat trick! You can also tinker with the GET parameters in the URL if you're so inclined.
I plan on adding more data plots and graphs as time permits, but for the time being, you can check out the site activity over the last 24 hours, and last 7 days.
Other graphs I intend to add include:
- Activity by hour of day
- Activity by day of week
- Activity by hour & day
- Day-over-day historical data
- Vs. average [day/hour]
- Others?
Anyway, hope you like it! Let me know what you think!
