    Question for statshounds

    Ok,

    I'm pretty close on my new stats code. Couple of features still to add in, but nothing data related.

    One question to ask right now is :

    Who is interested in data over 28 days old ?

    Currently in my new stats I'm only storing the last 28 days of scores,ranks etc. In the older one it accumulated indefinitely which made the tablesizes get a little unwieldy and slowed down queries over time.

    I could write this data to a different table which would probably be ok and only used in historic user stats but am not sure it's really worthwhile.....

    28 days should be sufficient for me.

    Thanks for all your hard work Bok. You've always made my day when I look at my stats.

    I really like stats (especially yours ) but I usually don't care about really old values. Usually a week, max a month is enough. The thing I really like about third party stats is the "who threads whom" thinggy ... calculated on a per month basis for example.
