We're more popular than Duke Nukem! :)

[Kaks]

A little while ago I rediscovered a long-lost oolite entry in freshmeat, one that hadn't been updated in yonks.

Long story short, after a little less than a week of updating our entry there, we're just one place above Duke Nukem Forever in their games/entertaiment category:

http://freshmeat.net/tags/gamesentertai ... popularity

We're about halfway through that page, not quite as popular as Java Classic RPG!

Disclaimer: contents may settle during transit, returns may go down instead of up, etc... Still, not bad! It'd be interesting to find out where we are in a month's time or so. Probably!


PS: This is probably the only time we'll see Oolite & Duke Nukem in the same context, I reckon.
I must confess it's a bit weird to think that we're just a tiny bit more popular than an unpublished game, though...

I have to say that Oolite is waaaaaaay more popular than DNF. Cause unlike DNF, Oolite had actual releases. As well as delivering on promises.

page 17 of 251 with what.... 10 per page? That's;

166 of 2505 that's actually not too bad.

Can tell you that we have gone up since yesterday. We are now on page 16.

Cool! Our very own freshmeat popularity graph - the green line in the Heartbeat graph - is starting to flatten out after 4 days of meteoric rise, but we might still reach page 15 & 14 yet!

[DaddyHoggy]

So how is popularity influenced/calculated?

[Kaks]

As far as I can tell, it's a function of how many times visitors reach our freshmeat page + how many times the website/forum/download links are clicked, in proportion to the overall number of page visits & links clicked through the whole of freshmeat.

Incidentally, we're now on page 7!

I suspect we won't be reaching page 6, though.. We've somewhat slowed down since those heady mid-July days...

Update:

As far as the FreshMeat people are concerned, we're now on page 4!

Less popular than Risk, but not too far off...

If I counted it right, it means we're number 43 (out of the 2518 games/entertainment projects they list): 1 more than the meaning of Life, the Universe, & Everything!

[ClymAngus]

Does that mean.......... We are trending?

Worse. We're in danger of become cool, hip, wicked... or whatever it is they call it nowadays.

Cheers,

Drew.

Jeeessss, it's a good thing there are no pictures of any of us floating round. Hang on,




ooopps well that knackers that one. Quick, sombody! We can save this! Photoshop in some facial scowls and Rabans!

[Smivs]

I fear we are beyond even the awesome beautifying power of photoshop!

Hang on a sec. I could've sworn the news said Obama had decided not to release any photographs...
