??? :blink:
Where is old "Some Statistics" thread? :eeeeeh:

That reminds me: is there any way of telling how many reviews have been translated into other languages (other than counting, I mean)?

Wow very impressive stuff, thanks for bringing this to our attention Seb.

Thanks Tiki, but:

It's not Slovenic - it's Slovene and THERE IS NO HUNGARIAN!!!. I think you mean Croatian (Kosta's country)!

anyone noticed the almost double rate of adventure games? and low number of sports games?

Abandonia is turning into Adventureonia.

Thanks for the list, Kon-Tiki. :ok:

Funny, I thought there were more than enough translators (except for Icelandic, perhaps), but apparently I was wrong...

Well I recently submit two reviews: one arcade, one adventure.
But the fact of the matter is: we love adventuregames.
I think the two most flourishing genres in abandonware are adventure and RPG simply because (and this goes mostly for adventuregames) there aren't a lot of them nowadays, so we return to the glorydays when adventuregames were popular and you didn't have to be a member of a special newspaper and such things in order to know whats going on with adventuregames. (and PC gamer giving an okay adventuregame like Moment of Silence a 14% doesn't help much either)

You also have to take into account that the late 80ies, early 90ies were the heydays of graphical adventure games! it was probably the most popular genre at the time, so everyone and their sister released huge series of them!

Well it's funny but true. The Slovenian team is the smallest one of them all (only two translators) Rainwife and myself. But we're the only one who cought up with the international site (currently again one review behind, due to a new update on the main site).

And when it comes down to adventure games - we still haven't enough of them!!!

Hungarian??? :ranting:

It's Croatian!!!

Yeah and it's 339 reviews(added in the mean time :P)...

It said Hu in the link, so I thought it was Hungarian :bleh: I'll change it to Huroatian then?

It's Hrvatski ;)...
Much like Deutsch stands for German...

Uuuu... :ranting:

Fixed, you East-European weirdoes :tomato: Putting HU for something that should be CR... what's Hungary's abbreviation then? :blink:

Croatia's abbreviation isn't HU, it's HR.

Did you read my post? It's HR as in Hrvatski...(not HU)
Like German is DE, why isn't it GE?
And Hungary's abbrevation is H...

Woops, it does come up as HR. Ah well, if you don't know that, you'd easily think it's for Hungary.

why a new topic for it :blink:

Because the old one is gone duh...

This Hu-Hr mistake calls for a rebellion! :ranting:
*Shouts calling all East-European Croatian weirdoes to throw some :tomato: *
Proud to be Croat! :)

Yes, just what would the west-European Croats say :eeeeeh: :D

Or the South East Asian Croats, for that matter...

I know this might seem pathetic... but I was looking at some more statistics and found out this about certain game categories we have on the site!

Action
Most popular: Blood– overall popularity 7th

Adventure
Most popular: Alone in the Dark 1 – overall popularity 3rd

Arkade
Most popular: Aladdin – overall popularity 72nd

Puzzle
Most popular: The Incredible Machine – overall popularity 61st

Racing
Most popular: Stunts – overall popularity 25th

RPG
Most popular: Ultima 6 - The False Prophet – overall popularity 10th

Simulation
Most popular: SimCity 2000 – overall popularity 4th

Sports
Most popular: Winter Challenge – overall popularity 125th

Strategy:
Most popular: UFO - Enemy Unknown – overall popularity 1st

Text based
Most popular: Soft Porn – overall popularity 214th

Board
Most popular: Battle Chess – overall popularity 57th

Unsorted
Most popular: Scorched Earth – overall popularity 38th

I'm sure it's title that appeals people the most to this game... :tai:

Ha I had not doubt! :Brain: :Brain: :Brain:
You just need to see at UFO game discussion to see,what is most popular game here... :sneaky:

Well it's not a sure thing. I still rember when I joined the site it was second (first was Civ II - which is in the second place now)!
So two top strategies in two top places!!!

of course! strategy kicks behind.

To my knolige Civ2 has never been in the first spot.. it has ALWAYS been Ufo holding nr1...

That's strange, because I remember it being in front when I joined in. Sorry I don't have a screenshot from that time - that might clear it up.

hmm... i have seen adventure is most popular and Soft porn attracted so many people . how about a real Soft porn (cause you mostly only see boobs) adventure game called Sex Olympics?
I have it but i am not sure if i should review it and send it for publishing since children might be looking for abandonware. :whistle:

Can this be made a sticky again?

Why? It's a thread about statistics talking about soft porn games...

[Insert joke on "soft porn" and "sticky" in this gap]

LOL

Well mostly because of the first post - it's the curent count of all the game categories and the latest update (along with the overal number of games). We had a sticky like this before, but it's gone (and I never found out why).

I don't get it :angel:

hmmm... thinking.... thinking...

OH! You wicked wicked man, you've soiled my pure and pristine soul!

That one was good! :roflol:

It shall be done :ok:

And here are the games that were updatet today (known as the :Tom: 's Mega Update):
Bandit Kings of Ancient China
Romance of the Three Kingdoms
Romance of the Three Kingdoms II
Genghis Khan
Genghis Khan II - Clan of the Gray Wolf
L'Empereur
Gemfire
Liberty or Death
Nobunaga's Ambition
Nobunaga's Ambition II
Operation Europe - Path to Victory 1939-45
Uncharted Waters

Great job guys! :ok:

do you guys have games to post during the next week? if not, I'd like to say that it is a lot more enjoyable to come here and see a new game every day, than to have megas one or two times a week (like HOTU).

Were at 498 reviews right now, so just two more and we have 500 reviews!!! :Brain:

By the way...there was a poll about these erotic games.

Many players voted for:NO!

Get ready for a double update with two excelent games - we're going to break the 500 limit with style :max:

In case anyone wants a complete list of all the reviews on the site, it's here.

I don't wanna split hairs here, but that's the list of reviews not games (we have more games then reviews, because we aren't alowed to host some of these games).

Well OK, it's the list of games you can get to by looking on the main page and reading reviews - it's useful for translators and us grammar bods to know how much work we have left (too much, too much! where's Havell when you need him eh?)

Hope you like today's double feature!

We broke the 500's!
:Brain: :Brain: :Brain:

That's incredible, 500 games!!!! :Brain:

*Sniffs* ...it looked so far away...

next stop=1000 games!

Give us a moment please.


_ True?

_ False?

_what?
_where?

seriously, what was the question?

This is going nowhere :blink:

Yes it is! It's going towards the 1000th game (but we do need a moment or two to get that far).

-True?

-False?

BTW - that's a joke used in the Monty Python's Quest for the Holy Grail caomputer game (by the 7th level). It's a part of the 125 questions long registration form you need to fill out (otherwise you won't be able to finish the game).

OMG..

Then ill say: False :not_ok:

Not only do we get more and more games (seems like we're almost unstoppable), but we also get more and more reviewers! :ok:

And something truly unique is coming up, that Abandoni have never seen before!!! :ok:
If I complete my work, you all will be proud of me! :D

The Hungarian translation of the site, you mean?

Is it just me or has someone allready been doing the Hungarian translations(but quit)? :blink:

Oh yes! I've forgoten to mention that Abandonia is being translated to yet another language!!!

Dutch Abandonia was added on the 30th of May already, but It's finally operational!!!

A BIG :Brain: :Brain: :Brain: for them!

Yo are both wrong. I AM translating the site, and I'm not giving that up! Don't say that! :ok:

The thing is: I'm translating A GAME, first in history. A game that just da filty! It rox! And mine will be the only English version avalible on the net! :ok:
Now get this! :D

That's a pretty hard task, good luck :ok:

Yeah, I'm GOING TO MAKE IT!!! I want to get some apprichiation :(
It's just me :unsure:
Anyway this will be truly unique if I finish it. I never done such a public thing in my life, now here's my big chance!!! :ok:

You're headin on uh-hup!! :D

:wall: Sorry haven't payed attention for about a week now (haven't edited the first post - done now).

why do people like adventures.. no thinking involved.. just where to walk to next...
now strategy...

Sorry I couldn't update the statistics last week (I was away). They're up to date again now!

BTW we're currently having around 70.000 visitors daily (between 65k and 75k) although our record is still just bellow 100.000 visitors.
There weren't any more penguines visiting (still only 3 visits from Antarctica) and I guess the holy seat lost its interest as well - still only 3 visits from Vatican.
We did get a second visitor from the Central African Republic though :ok:

Don't call me weird, but why have no simulations been added in ages.

Probably because none have been reviewd :whistle:

Do you know of a good (not ESA protected) simulation that is abandoned? Can you supply the game? Would you like to review one?

I'd be happy to add it.
I'm preparing a rather old simulation to be updated soon, but don't hold your breath (it might take a while).

A very sad news everybody. Due to the technical problems (as well as the lack of alternative games to be updated) - yesterday was a day without an update (after quite a long time). Sorry - it happens (especially if you don't send in the reviews you promised :bleh: ).

If everyone is in the translatin ova 'ere..why don't i offer my services and translate the site in Romanian>>? :w00t:
It just happens that i have some friends that like Abandonia but don't like to study english...In other words they don't know what it's written on the site..2 bad :angry: ..(kinda stupid people)(no offence but at 13 and 14 years i think you schould know enough english to read what's on a site..)sooo..if you want to have this site in Ro.then just tell me what to do and i'll be happy to do it! :D :bye: :ok: :bannana:

well go ask tom or whoever does it now.. suprised you didnt offer before..

Sorry to update this thread so late (I was away), but we also got a new category The Crypt, devoted for old CGA games!!! :Brain: :kosta: :Brain:

Hey hey hey! I just checked and we now have 5 visitors from Antarctica. So I guess those three pingunes that already visited Abandonia the last time I checked got company (come polar bears that wanna bridge the technological gap). :ok:

but...Polar Bears and Penguins live on opposite poles... :eeeeeh:

Yup. Polar bears eat mostly seal, not penguin. Any polar bear-penguin relation ships are seen at a zoo :D

Ok everybody, just start waddling in like a line of penguins, yes, that's right... :bleh:

OK - you got me. I guess polar bears and penguins don't mix (except in a very large coctail blender). You guys now have my seal of aproval:

This weekend will get to the 600 mark :kosta: :kosta: :kosta:

Finally the next update has happened (and in a big way)!!!
Finally we reached the number of 600 games!!!

*I really miss that delete button - these multiple posts are killing me*

:Brain: :Brain: :Brain:
We got two new updaters!!!
The last two updates were made by our two new updaters TheVoid and ReamusLQ. Great job guys!

This is a quidupal post already... I guess other people simply don't read this anymore (if that's the case, you can un-sticky it).

I just wanted to let you know, that we go another language Abandonia is translated to!

That's right Portugeesse has been added today. Abandonia reviews are currently translated (and displayed) in the following languages:
English
Deutsch
Espanol (sorry can't make the correct sign ~n)
Français
Nederlands
Portugues (sorry, can't make the ^e symbol)
Polski
Hrvatski
Norsk
Slovenski
íslenska

In preperation are also some other translations (especially Swedish and Russian have quite a lot of work done).

We read but there's no need for us to post, it is however informative...
(allready stated congratulations to Portuguese, but... Congrats! :w00t:)

EDIT: There --> http://www.abandonia.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=7811

Well after quite some time we have a double update. The reason will be clear in about a week (but let it remain a surprise for now). Hope you enjoy it, and I guess there will be a few more double (or even mega-updates) soon. :ok:

oh, damnit... now I'll have to start putting another extra translated game review per day, if i want to upkeep my "chase" to the main site :crazy:

and the ^ over the "e" is easy, like this ?... if you have "portuguese keyboard definitions" :D
hum, maybe i can do the ~ over the n too: ? (YES :ok: )

Don't worry, we probably won't keep up the two games a day policy. Has been tried before, but...
IT's just untill the end of this week (you'll understand all on Monday).

what a "great relief" :whistle:

And here is the reason for the mulitple updates we had this past week.

We wanted to reach the devlish number 666 on theis frightful day :evil: :butcher: :twisted:

The only thing missing today is for our own devlish member (talves to return - for all who don't know, he registred in as the 666th member).

MWAHAHAHAHAHA!

PS:
Data just told me:
- so congratulations on his excelent job as an administrator (as well as keeping this site safe)! :ok:

How Diabolical... :)
Again someone typed your nick wrong in the news :P

Oh, it's just that Reamoose :bleh:
He still can't spell my name <_<

Anyone else noticed that the French part hasn't been updated in a long time?
And the Norwegian since September?

Deskovne?:huh: I take it that's Slovenian for "board games"...

You guessed it :ok:

The International Abandonia Meeting topic has got to be the moste viewed topic thus far. Here's what OvErLoRd found out:

I just looked and here are the most viewed topics in the 3Xblah section (International Abandonia Meeting being only two days old):

It's still a far cry from the UFO-thread, though... Still, not bad for two days.:)

We're popular :D

Hahaha! Ownage! :Brain:

btw, somebody really needs to necro Riddles and Brain Teasers. It was the thread that I used to ease myself into the forums. You'll find lots of my early posts there.

You must have in mind that topics from 3xblah could not be compared to those from Game Discussion forum because there is a link from game review to the game topic.

I would say it's great for two days! :)

Ah, but there is a direct link to the Abandonia Meeting topic in the news section...

Edit: By the way, will non-registered people be able to view it, then?:huh:

View YES, reply NO :angel:

But I thought the entire 3xBlah section wasn't visible for visitors?

Well, you can simply log out and click on the forum... You'll see that you can view the entire 3Xblah section along with some others, but you'd only be able to post in the troubleshooting and game discusion.

That link will soon get pushed away in the archives by newly added news, while game topic link is always actual in game review. The fact remains that number of that topic's views is astonishing. However, I may be a little subjective! :)

Guests cant see boththe multiplayer, Art/Music, and tech/programming. Also, guests cant post in blahx3, but they can see it.

Of course, they can't see any of those secret ones either (VIP, admin, grammar team)

I should jolly well hope so. Mustn't have all that riff-raff read our highly sophisticated posts in the grammar forum. *cough, cough* :P

I'm still astonished that I don't get to see the grammar forum :P

And it'd be nice to be a VIP for, y'know, being dedicated to the forum of this site :bleh:

Or not... maybe some real work is in order *sighs*

Deleted!

Aieee... work.

There are more things between heaven and earth, Horatio, than it is displayed on your silly little computer screen...:bleh:

Barely :P

Who's that? and please - don't spam this "spam free topic" :bleh:

Er, god forgive me, and please forgive me for spamming this topic anymore, but... uh... I've never heard of this VIP thing before.

:tomato:
What is it?

Sorry. :bleh:

Thirteenth question from the top.

Weird there weren't so many pageviews in weeks, and there are no spectacular updates, who knows...
People have more free time today...

Maybe someone is DDOSsing us? I must admit, the site is rather sluggish at the moment...

Possibly, but the site works OK for me ATM...

EDIT: Just as I posted this it's working slow again...

Somebody's what?:huh:

Strange... this is the latest result:
So we're still not over 55k visitors today...
But the site is very slow! Maybe we're having a little czech invasion because of today's update :D

Somebody's what?:huh: [/b][/quote]
DDoS - Distributed Denial of Service. Very thorough article.

However, I doubt that is the case. Maybe it's just the fact that it's Saturday! :)

So many Czechs :wacko:

Here you have latest: On average 60 percent of the daily visits are made before 16:52. Based on the number of visitors of 54842 today so far, today your site may have 90592 page views (+/- 153).

18:00 - On average 66 percent of the daily visits are made before 18:01. Based on the number of visitors of 63082 today so far, today your site may have 94287 page views (+/- 124).

Hey, and I just noticed there that we had over 25 million visitors (overall) :kosta: :kosta: :kosta:

Seems like it's going to be a very busy day! If we're lucky, maybe the record of 99709 daily page views could be broken.

Well it would be nice if we finally could go over 100k! I guess the weather also has something to do with it. It's winter, people will stay indoors more - less daylight, freezing temperatures outside... So more occasional gamers.

Also consider the fact that (according to the statistics) most pageviews are noted on Sundays, which means that we could get even more visitors tomorrow!

So I guess I better do an early update... and a darn good one (I was planing to update Summer Games... but I guess I should do Winter Games instead :D ).

How about ''The Total Games'' update featuring ''Winter Games'', ''Summer Games'' and ''The Games '92 - Espana''? :D

Because of all this not clear things today I suggest to upload The Twilight Zone :whistle:

Now this may have something to do with the fact that the new Civilization game is shortly coming out, but hey - we have a new most popular game!!!

The point is that a popular site linked to civ2 download on that "succesful" day (saturday I think), and so obviously the number of downloads of that game must have skyrocketed...
Anyway Civ2 will always rock my sock...

Does that depend on hits or downloads?
Obviously not votes I can see.

The popularity thing is derived from anequatino, written by Kosta, that involves both hits and downloads.

You'll have to ask him for details.

You know, it took me quite a while to figure out what you meant by "anequatino".:D

Well the popularity was explained in THIS topic (it's been closed for quite some time, so I guess you couldn't find it).

Two more games and we hit the 700!!!

WOOHOO!!!


That calls for celebration :Brain:

No that calls for a celebration when we actually hit 700 :D

i think we did so :Brain:

Hey Sebatianos look at this : http://www.abandonia.com/scripts/translators.php - we already have you ... *mwuhahahahahahaha*

:cheers:

Deleted!

Thanks, but pageview measurements seem much different than the ones from the old stats...

Very few visitors come to our site through the abandonware ring... But that's probably due to the fact that abandoneers (people activly visiting abandonware sites) probably go to this site directly :D

Deleted!

Anylatics. Heh.

Analytics ;)

As you know Abandonia is a truly international site. Besides the default English language our game reviews are also featured in at least 15 other languages

Oh yeah... it's been a while. I'll get back to that one again soon (thanks for reminding me).

Sorry again for the double posting...

I don't like THIS one as much. Ever since the measuring started we had no visits from Antarctica or Vatican (before we had 5 visits from the unpopulated Antarctica and 3 from the Vatican - the holy seat).

ah... quite nice, unfortunately it returns me this message: " Access denied! Wrong user ID or password." :blink:

Oh yeah, if you wonder why I quote this - it's because it is crap.
You can read all about it here:
http://www.abandonia.com/forum/index.php?s...ndpost&p=225754
That's from the multitute of good-bye topics we locked away, as they went was off topic, was flaming - or in other ways just harmed the site. That's because we are the ones who actually built this site and we love it, and we won't let topics harm the good of the site. And we don't appreciate posts like this that makes us look like evil bastards on witchhunts. Now matter how hard people try to post anti-admin propaganda. ;)


Yes, we are so intimidated by someone who leaves the site over smilies - so we do everything in our powers to lock those topics so that people will forget the huge smiley uproar. You got us. I suggest you read the reasons for the closing of that topic.

And if you still have issues - contact Kosta, instead of editing your old posts to place in anti-admin propaganda. Thank you.

Give it a rest, Tom. Seriously, this is going a little over the top. We do have PMs, you know. Unless, you want to make this widely accessible to the public, which would put you in the propaganda aspect, too.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Tom Henrik @ Jun 4 2006, 06:17 PM) [snapback]234239[/snapback]</div>Nice of you to admit it - that's why you deleted the post made by Sebatianos (aka ME) just a few moments ago and I guess also banned Sebatianos (aka ME)...

Nice work Tom - BTW I thought only KOSTA could decide who is and who isn't a VIP, yet he wasn't online when someone removed my status... Which caused a real havoc in my PMs...
Aren't you doing things you shouldn't?

Oh and feel free to ban away (and I did explain about this account, so don't pretend it's a shock to you that I had a double account).

Actually - it is called Posting Restrictions.

This is a site statistics topic and you shouldn't spam it with discussions about this, how should I call it... eternal conflict.

It is important that you realise that Tom didn't break in and try to resurect the old topic, Sebastianos did by editing his post(s). Right now it looks like Tom posted first, but it's really not the case.

If it was only of me, Sebastianos would be outright banned right now. There is really a difference with leaving because you can't work with the rest of the team anymore and having a private vandetta which goes as far as editing old posts to make other people look bad. And that difference is respect, in all kind. I have none left for Sebastianos right now, it's going in the negative even.

I am neither ignoring the facts about Tom that you just pointed out nor am I promoting Sebatianos' actions. I am merely trying to calm certain people down. It is fairly obvious that Tom and Sebatianos have problems with each other, but, as Overlord so eloquently put it, this is not the place for it.
Peace.

:ok:

Niiiice.

traffic is reduced. must be because games are removed almoust at same rate as they are added :D

but popularity is going up which is a +

It's traffic rank. The lower the number, the better it is. Goal is to be no.1 :D

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(gregor @ Jul 3 2006, 11:00 AM) [snapback]241187[/snapback]</div>Actually its completely the other way round :bleh:
The lower the traffic rank, the better... same with popularity. Everyone wants to be No.1, no? ;)

Why so little games on Abandonia. You did have one game every day in the week :unsure:

What do you mean, so little games?

Maybe he means that there are not so many updates as before.

Deleted!

Excellent! Abandonia is well within the top 15k sites! :ok:

Significant advance after some time:

15.04.2007. - 13.742

Abandonia ranking

:w00t:

I hate to repeat myself, but I'm really excited about this news!

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Sebatianos @ Apr 23 2005, 12:39 AM) [snapback]98786[/snapback]</div>Oh, and if you're wondering why the main site says we have 1001 reviews, there is a game we're still lacking an English version of so it was never anounced, nor can you find it on the site, but it is in the base already, so the counter shows it.

Best placement ever

13.707 :ok:

In Portuguese we had 936 reviews!

<div class=\'quotetop\'>QUOTE(estica @ Jun 26 2007, 07:01 PM) [snapback]296501[/snapback]</div>Great :w00t:

But it seems that you have 938 :)

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh! We are the number one!

1) Abandonia: 13707

2) Home Of The Underdogs: 33817

3) CDOS Abandonware: 154223

4) XTC Abandonware: 385184

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(David86 @ Jun 27 2007, 11:18 PM) [snapback]296768[/snapback]</div>YAY! :brain:

And were 20110 clicks more popular! :cool:

In the last 30 days there was 758,539 visits, and 7,982,375 pageviews.

Seems good :ok:

Yes, and the number of guests never drops below 100 for the last week or so. Methinks those are real guests not spider attacks.

Abandonia - 12.910 :ok:

12.714 - 10.07.

OHOH! Thanks to Six Apes topic LOL

http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_...w.abandonia.com

11846!

I'll start including the traffic rank in the first post of the thread (so I'll check for it every time I update the message). Which sites would you like me to compare it too? I was thinking of comparing it to HOTU and Mobygames. What do you think?

And maybe this rank could be on the main site (if possible).

11,347
AHAH! :w00t:

That's what I said on the first page ^_^

Can't wait to get within 4 figures only!

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Alexa)</div>I don't want to know which description we got in our really slow era - Ãœber Lame Snail Slow?

Maybe it's data is from the slow era, cause site loads as fast as any other for me.

Did you noticed that we are having more than 100 new members everyday day? :eek:

21:05 this is a useless line, due to retarded minimal characters input post restriction

:eek: Haven't checked, but then again, I haven't updated the statistics in quite a while either. Will get on it as soon as I get home from work. Thanks!

And finally we have turned the tides and have started rising on the Alexa ladder again (100 places might not be great, but the negative trend has finally been turned around).

If you've noticed, many things have been happening to the site... unfortunately the ranking at Alexia still shows negative trends - we're still loosing ground... OK, we're still very high and I think there's not a single abandonware site that comes close to us at the moment, but not only that we can't seem to get into the top 10.000 sites, we're acctually still loosing places - not many, but we are.

Oh noes! :confused:

Might this be connected to the makeover? :rolleyes: Or that the links have changed and all the bots have to re-detect us?! ;)

Is this REALLY saying that we are less popular, less look upon and that people go elsewhere? :huh:

Are we less popular? Yes, 10 to 15 %.

Visits = 647.378 (February, 2008) <-> 724.881 (September, 2007)
Pageviews = 5.692.215 (February, 2008) <-> 6.933.152 (September, 2007)
Pages/visits = 8.79 (February, 2008) <-> 9.56 (September, 2007)
Average time on site = 5:15 (February, 2008) <-> 5:52 (September, 2007)
Bounce rate = 35.61% (February, 2008) -> 34.98% (September, 2007)

There are a lot of members from last year that you don't see around anymore. I suppose it could be that they have new names since many had to re-register.

Nothing to worry about. The stats will build themselves back up. Being the number one abandonware site is an accomplishment. You do have to wonder how much the bots affected the stats of old. Seemed they were coming from everywhere for a while.

I find this interesting. Very balanced representation of users from around the globe. Brazil caught me by surprise. I always thought Abandonia had a very European/North American flavor.

From Alexia.com ...
Abandonia.com users come from these countries:

United States11.3%
Brazil6.4%
Poland5.1%
Croatia4.8%
Germany4.8%

I'm quite optimistic (as always I know :amused:).
The new site layout brought us many problems, at first it was really ugly and buggy, now with the help of members, with suggestions and with lot of work, the site is improving everyday. I don't want to say that now it's ok and better than the old one.There is still lot to do.
A new colour layout could change things, the old site was a warm place (colours really made the difference).If we are able to fuse the features of the new one with the warm style of the old one...well, we will be at the top!
Let me remember guys about this data: from about 10000 members reached in four years to about 31000 members since the new site layout (some months).

(Bounce Rate for a website is the number of web site visitors who visit only a single page of a website per session divided by the total number of website visits. Low bounce rate means that the page effectively causes visitors to view more pages and continue on deeper into the website.)

Believe it or not, but Abandonia has more then
200.000 pages

But still we are dropping... I guess the time has come that the online games made abandonware somewhat obscelete.

On the other hand, it's good for the comunity, because there will be much less ignorant leeches, who just want to play games, but don't respect them at all. This will also mean, that less and less people will consider abandonware/oldware as an alternative to new games and that probably more producers will start thinking about releasing their software as freeware, or at least stop actively protecting it (at least that's my wishful thinking).

also there were no major titles put on site lately. But there were some taken off in that little esa incident...

We are in 2008. Soon games like Half life, Far cry, Halo... will be the ones with oldies status. While these that are now "Abandoned ones" will become Antiques :)

When does protection for Half-Life stop?

I think we have a couple of things going on here. First the oldwarez list is badly in need of updating. I think there are more than a few abandoned titles that are not on the list.

Second we are entering a time where the face of abandonware is changing. The newly abandoned games as determined by the "period of ESA protection" guidelines are coming from the period of the mid nineties. 1993 and later. By that time multimedia and CDROM had taken a firm hold on the gaming industry. The majority of new abandonware is going to be too large to be hosted on Abandonia with the current status quo. There are still many games from prior to 1993 that can be added to the site but few of them are going to be considered a "major draw".

I think we are going to have to be content with a thinning of the potential audience unless Abandonia in some way wants to address the game size issue. The number of us old-schoolers seems to be dropping. I still wish they would "dress up" the ISO cellar a little more.

I would call both Starflight and Savage Empire major titles. I doubt we will see Half Life or Halo as abandonware any time soon.

Personaly I would like the title "dedicated to classic dosgames" to be changed to "dedicated to classic PCgames", and if Abandonia wishes to "walk with present time" that would have to be done, soon some games that weren't made for DOS will become abandonware, we have some on the site already (e.g. Re-Volt, The Sting...). :idea:

Suggestion accepted :)

Always glad to share my great wisdom with community. :amused:

It's getting all worse... :(

come on, it's not THAT bad statics

And download server was down for about ten days!

Given that wasn't the first time, a loss of popularity is understandable - still, it's nothing that can't be fixed.

Perhaps we should start a thread called: why I came to AB and why I like it here. We should try be more newb friendly. ... But how? :weird:

It's been quite a while, so finally this topic is updated too... Abandonia has lost quite some places, but we're still doing quite well - now it's time to start improving once again!

My dear Sebatianos, the clock you're using is clearly wrong. ;)
It's not "time to start improving once again".
The time it is, is... time to rock the internet! :spyder:

Man I miss the old design. :(

And I miss my teeth.

:oh:

Woops... time to switch to something digital, because YOU'RE RIGHT!!! :thumbs:

We need more game updates to attract people again. They mostly will come here for games so if we update twice a week (with at least one quality game each week) we should drag in more people.

We aren't doing so bad, unfortunately Abandonware sites in general are losing points. Btw step by step the things are going on the right way :)

Hi TfH
If you like more to have report in form you published, I will prepare it in this form next time.
No problem at all!

"Max Time" gives better the idea, we had a negative trend when Updates were stopped, but we are gaining lot of points since 2009 :)

Some nice stats
 

My opinion is that the only way to check the popularity of a game is by seing the number of votes (scores) submitted by the players, since we can't track the number of downloads. Attention: popularity doesn't always equal quality! I've made a list of all the new games uploaded in 2009.

To have a basic idea about these numbers here's a game uploaded a long time ago:

Call of Cthulhu: Shadow of the Comet - 3624 votes (3.2), 124 forum posts

Basically yes, I'd just like to add a few thoughts:

If you do so, you also have to consider how long each game has been on site, therefore a more fitting value would be votes / day.
Alas, this does not work for some reasons:
1) If I am correct, we can not estimate the exact date on which a game was first published, as changes to the review or content overwrite this date in the game table. (A question for the admins?)
2) Until a certain point, each visitor had more than one vote for each game. You could vote every day, or whenever you had a new IP. Also, guests were allowed to vote. This was changed some time ago. Don't remember exactly, maybe mid of 2007?

Anyway, if you accept loose values, this probably is the best indicator.

We don't need to try and estimate (especially for the games uploaded in 2009) because we can always verify (like I did now) the news archives. The dates that I've put between the brackets are taken from the news archive.

Oh man, that sucks... :noworry:

Leisure suit Larry has loose values?

Ok, but you have to do it manually then. I was thinking about an automated solution to calculate a game's polularity on site. As a workaround there might be a possibility to link between the news and the games tables and relate the first published date from the news with the score from the games. But perhaps I am totally wrong and this is a shot into the wrong direction.


:tongue: nice one, Saccade.. :D

Commentary: Pretty mediocre overall. The portuguese and the spanish are doing good as usual. No surprise there. What really bugs me are the Serbian and Italian. You'd think that with one coordination thread, one crew thread and a gazillion of posts each, they'd score at least 20 Review Translations... Unless they're secretly stocking reviews behind our back and plan to overthrow us the minute they see at least a weak point. Who knows... Seems Nick and Smiling Spectre (The Russian Crew) were stocking reviews as well, because it's a wonder how did they coordinate the entire thing with only two posts in their thread (the first one is Luchsen's though). Worth noting is the Hungarians' progress, from 4 Translations in 2008 they succeded in gathering 34 this year. So good luck in the future also.

Since the bug fix, 314 Reviews were translated overall.

It's not a secret that we are stocking reviews...we tested things, learned how to update without damaging the site and we are planning to release more translated reviews and announcements.
We have more than 10 titles ready and in queue and we've added 2 on site.
However many members of the crew aren't active or busy lately, can't force them to work ;)

I know that in Croatian section we had a few people trying to translate, but it didn't work, so you can change that +2 into 0 because both of those translations were unsuccesful even though the translator followed all the guidelines, of course needless to say people lost motivation to translate in the mean time.

i have 3 reviews currently uploaded, fool :p and if you count imperialism too, thats 4, and if i pump central intlegiance out ,thats 5.... im goona be up thewre :D

It's the count of games added to the site without the ones "in queue" (in grammar squad).

Yea but i already have 3 review that are actually on and everything, not in que...go to my page and see :p I need recognition! *is greedy and powerhungry*

Balance of Power 1990 was added way back in 2008 - it does not count.

I have 13 reviews (6 old, 4 stub replacements, and 3 from 2009) + 2 in grammar - I do not complain, I just write :)

Do You need some games to write about?

Well, im slowly learning to play Central Intellegiance (the ISO is on the site but Total Anarchy wants a review,) so ima write a review for that game....dont know of any other games though

You can look through request games forum or a submissions thread - there is a really big list of games. It needs a lot of work to find something there, when the titles does not tel you much.

Soon there will be an easier-to-look-at list with games we believe needs reviews at most. TA with Dave are working on that one.

Wow, it's already 2012 XD At least one thing hasn't changed - we're still using CNN's arrows :p

Nice stats, we changed the procedures for songs, so the counter on main page isn't really updated. Just consider that Tracker uploaded more than 200 tracks lately :)

Awesome work everybody :D
