Thanks for the tip.

FWIW: I started collecting the stats in order to monitor the way N900 is deployed and used worldwide. This was based on the assumption that the number of users (and developers) will be a fraction (or a function) of N900 sells. In a year from now it will be possible to see how posts and users change over time (the slope of the lines at each point in time) and perhaps jump to some conclusions.

For example, I expect to see the slope of posts rise become larger than the slope of members during January. While currently, each new member roughly corresponds to a new thread, I guess that existing members will continue being active and new members will keep that ratio. Then again, that's only a guess...
