Below is a graph showing how popular public/advertised/known servers as a whole have been over the past 12 month or so. Hopefully server creators will find this information useful.

Private MIR Popularity
===================
Players accessed:
Number of recorded players in one particular month
Calculated by: Get average playercount for a server per day. Add all records (server+date) from that month together to get the popularity of servers for that month.

Period:
The month for which the data was collected.

Other info:
Playercount is only known for servers which were submitted to the Monitor (which is pretty much every server). Averages were calculated per day.

Server popularity
================
Average playercount = Average daily playercount / days online

Servers online in a month
=====================
A count of the amount of servers that have been noticed in a month.

Any suggestions on how to make this information more accurate are welcome, aswell as requests for similar data relating to playercount/popularity.

When did you stop monitoring p69? You should probably double it from then onward :P
You make it sound like I had a choice.

P69, as you know fine well has/had its usercount port closed, stopping it from being submitted to the monitor. The ServerStatSiggy images have a 5 second timeout anyway, and since you changed to NTL, P69 was rarely able to respond within 5 seconds of a request, hence why I asked you to shorten the interval on the LoginServer usercount timer, contary to what you've told many of your forum users ;).

@Others,
I'll get on other statistics asap

I don't choose what to monitor and what not to - the monitor does it all automatically. You closed Port 3000, therefore forefitting any possibility for your users to use the Stat images, or for P69 to be included in any statistics.

It was your choice. - Its not like I can force close it myself, only the host can do that. And I know it might be a little difficult for you to work out who that is... but have a go anyway.
