2nd quarter stats update!

July 22, 2018 by ingres77 7 Comments

Now that we’re (more than) halfway through the year, it’s time for the second quarter database update. I’m not going to lie, though, I kind of forgot to do this. That’s the bad thing about not doing this every month, I guess. You kind of get out of the habit of it.

And I kind of miss doing the more in-depth posts, but I just don’t have the time for it. Sorry about that, everyone.

*My tentative user totals for CBR1-9 show that nearly 27k reviews have been written by the community to help raise money to fight cancer. I’ve catalogued roughly 69% of our reviews.
**Malin was gracious enough to go back through her blog and make it easier to search and count her reviews. I noticed a discrepancy in my counts compared to hers. I haven’t had the time to update her career review total – but I will. And I do appreciate all the hard work she put into helping us out in this.
***My review totals may differ slightly from the “official” numbers due to errors I made in updating my data, or errors users make in countering their reviews.

    Dude, vel veeter is coming for my #3. I am powerless to stop it. I feel like one of those people in movies who have been tied to the train tracks.
