Difference between revisions of "WormNET statistics"

Revision as of 13:15, 23 September 2009

The WormNET statistics page is a collection of statistical information about WormNET activity. Except for the WormNAT2 graph at the bottom, data is collected by the Web Snooper bot.

Activity is measured by channel joins (thus, a player joining a channel represents one activity measurement unit). This is why W:A users represent the majority in the version distribution chart, even though #AnythingGoes is mostly occupied by snooper users. Up until September 14th 2009, WebSnooper was only present in #AnythingGoes, and thus didn't monitor activity in other channels.
