Oh wow, so busy.

297 posts today. Not that good, is it?

Why could that be? Crap modding is part of it.

I am trying to point out quality posts linking to authoritative sources is the way to lift OzPol’s SEO rankings and visibility. Personal attacks like the above only make OzPol an unattractive place to post. Time personal attacks are punished.

The need for action grows more urgent every day! We need KNOWLEDGEABLE and INTELLIGENT and EDUCATED members to mod Environment, Economics, Health etc etc.

Let us put the post counts in context.

1. First two months I have data Jul–Aug 2024

Mean       336
Median     330
Std Devn    94

2. Now let us have a look at the last two months, Sep–Oct 2025

Mean       239
Median     234
Std Devn    47

Conclusion:

There are a hundred posts LESS per day in the two months ending today and the period Jul–Aug 2024.

In that time Bam and JC Denton both left OzPol. Why?
