2009 at On the Forecheck, by the numbers

by Dirk Hoag on Jan 6, 2010 11:00 AM EST

With 2009 now behind us, the tech team here at SB Nation put together some data regarding our community.

So take a look after the jump for the leaderboard in terms of which users have made the most comments, Fan Posts, etc...

I can't thank each of you enough for joining this site, which launched in late February of 2009 and now boasts over 500 registered members. In the new year, I look forward to the contributions that our new author, Chris Burton, will bring to the table, and of course the continued graphics wizardry of smashville. During the Olympic break, I plan on gathering your input on how we can make this site more useful to Predators fans locally and hockey fans worldwide, but of course until I do that, please feel free to write me with any questions you have. My email is the.forechecker@gmail.com, and you can reach me on Twitter at @Forechecker.

Any idea

Which team’s blog is the most frequented/commented?

Chicago had over 1000 comments in a GDT the other night, most I’ve ever seen. The flip side of that is their content is pretty poor and the amount of profanity is disturbing.

Chicago's fans

Have noticed the same….it’s the rule rather than the exception that most the posts are full of profanity. I’ve also noticed that within game threads, they focus much more on ridiculing the other team/city/fans (namely, ours) than anything positive about their own team. Read a recent game thread after a game with Detroit, and was pleasantly surprised that many of the fans seemed to have developed some respect for the work ethic of the Preds, and for Barry Trotz as a coach.

Chicago sports

I’ve been a Chicago sports fan my entire life (Bulls and Cubs, not BH and Sox, of course. I used to like the Bears before the Titans) and that’s just the way they are. I like it sometimes, but some people can certainly go too far. I think it’s more of a big city thing…

One thing I’ll also mention is that SB Nation is constructed such that each site can set their own standards for acceptable behavior. What works for Chicago may well not work here, and vice versa.

More fun than a stick to the face!
