Dedication statistic
Website Comments by FLASHPRO
Hopefully you all know about the dedication stat. The percentatage shown on the member pages for the number of days logged in for this year. (see the top list here [url]http://www.beerpal.com/members/toplogs.asp[/url]) The problem with this stat is it's not fair for newer members to have to way a full year before they can compete for the most active user. So what if I change it to only count the last 90 days? Or 120? Logging in 90 days straight sounds like a decent accomplishment to me, and gives everyone a chance, instead of only members from the previous year.

I am fine with 90 days. I was being sarcastic, since I've been a member 65 days and have 100% visit rate (I guess that means I'm pathetic).

I think 3 months would be normal and honest. One quarter of a year. Logic, I think. 60 days is too less.
gwtexas and demaske: I'm confident the numbers are 100% correct. I can pull up a list of every login that everyone ever made. I think both of you have 91% of the days. That's pretty darn high! Logging out then back in again won't do anything different, and neither does it matter if you are automatically logged in or manually. The only time it has ever been wrong is on the initial sign up. When you confirm your account for the first time, it doesn't count it as a log in. So if that person never came back on their first day, it didn't count it [:(] Cottrell hasn't missed a single day [:0] and I've only missed 2, because I was at Yosemite national park [:D]
According to the logs, you missed the following days: 5/22 5/20 5/19 5/8 5/4 4/26 4/24 4/17 Looks like there are a few recent ones, and Mother's Day

Funny, I visit every day, and it shows me logged in, so I log out and back in, but the number of days visited seems to be lower than it should be.
And the logs show your only two missed days as last Wednesday and Saturday. Do you remember missing those days?

GWTEXAS, I have also Loged in every day since I joined but the system shows differant. I am not complaining,it can stay the way it is but there must be a bug in the counter.
I do think it needs to be fair for sure to make it and even playing field so to speak. However, I agree with Wrikolakas, I prefer the three month interval because that is a hard accomplishment and requires dedication to the site. I would venture to say I would like to see no change personally, however, I know some minor changes are needed to make it fair for new members and hopefully the changes will encourage newer members to stick around and to get more involved.
Oh wow, it's official...I need a life. [:D]

Wow, you guys seem to be getting a little excited about this dedication thing.... As long as you're still drinking beer you are dedicated! I like 90 days. Long enough to be a true recent indicator but not too long that you can never improve it. I must say, I have been stuck on 50% forever and I have been making a point to check pretty much every day. I know I miss some weekends... that's my downfall! [:(!]
