Stats

Three counters, and nothing else. They say how much has been typed, not who typed it.

—

Lines of chat
—

Rooms created
—

Lines per minute

What these count

Lines of chat is every message ever sent, counted as it was sent. The messages themselves are deleted after 30 days; the number they added to this total stays.

Rooms created counts rooms that have carried at least one message. A room with nothing in it is not a room yet.

Lines per minute is an average over the last hour rather than a live reading, so it moves smoothly instead of jumping about.

The figures are recalculated at most every 30 seconds. Nothing here is derived from anything about a person: there are no visitor counts, no user totals and no per-room numbers, because none of that is collected. See your data.
