Perhaps just plateauing, here's another one with a 60 day moving average trendline*

I don't know whether the Lounge is on the slide or not - I don't think that's right in 'real' terms.


I'm surprised it kept its end up - until the split all the family discussion stuff and drawing room stuff went in the lounge.


Since these two added together are half of Lounge's overall traffic, I'd have expected to see the Lounge halve in size if it didn't attract new and growing audiences.


So for me the Lounge 'plateau' actually represents a doubling in size!

Very valid point Huguenot, you can see the Lounge traffic dip in July last year when the other rooms were created.


Sorry Keef, the stats come from Google Analytics which measures general website traffic it can't work out individual's actions from the forum's database. Unspecifically I can tell you though that your posts have gone from 'a lot' to 'not as many'.

That is not right. A 60-day simple moving average should be applied after zero values are removed from the time series (e.g. the first chart).


The second chart looks like an IPCC data manipulation 'trick' was applied to produce an EDF version of the ?hockey stick graph? :)


Interesting post nevertheless - thanks.

I don't think in general 60 days averages should remove zero values - but it should in this case as it was 'suspension' not audience activity that caused it.


But either way HAL, I've made the mental leap to remove the suspension from the graph and I'm not paying attention to the apparent rise in the last two month average data.


It's clear that activity remanined fairly consistent across the last 6 months, which means that activity must have increased on non family and non Drawing Room material to compensate for the appearance of those sections.


That's why I'm saying the Lounge is even more successful now than it was in the past.


Mind you, all these graphs feel a bit like looking in the loo after you've done a whoopsie ;-)

    • What Firkins were they? The only localish ones I remember were the Phoenix and Firkin and the Fox and Firkin. The Plough has changed its name several times, and then back to the Plough, but to the best of my recollection the Uplands Tavern was named that until it became The Actress, and The Bishop was called something else whose name escapes me (though the smell from the gents lingers in my memory) but I'm pretty sure it wasn't a Firkin?
    • These statements were in the Consultation Findings report published (later than promised) just before the licence was granted:  "The site hire fee goes directly to supporting the delivery of the council’s Events service, which supports the delivery of up to 100 free-to-attend community events per year – please refer to section 1 (Licensing and income)" I've drafted an email to request some more details of these "free-to-attend" events, as "up to" is a fairly meaningless description - could be 100, could be none? - and therefore doesn't help anyone to decide whether it is actually a benefit to the community or not. Even if it is 100, I'm not sure I could name even one of them? "The site hire fee goes directly to supporting the provision of a grants fund – the Cultural Celebrations programme - please refer to section 1 (Licensing and income)" A similarly meaningless statement in terms of gauging whether, or how much, this is a benefit to the local community. What is it, what does it do, how much of the fee goes to it? And how can the fee go "directly" to two different things? Surely, "directly" means without deviation, straight to, without being changed or reduced?? Again, I'll be asking all these questions to the events dept. I find it outrageous & insulting that a public body can try to justify such an intrusive & disruptive event with such flimsy and opaque "benefits", with zero figures or details to quantify them. They may as well not bother with a consultation, just say "Look, we can't be arsed to justify our decision, it's happening so just deal with it".
