    Dialysis & CKD discussion board report for 2/15

    By Bill Peckham

    Dialysis & CKD discussion boards activity for the two weeks from 2/1 to 2/15.

    The boards are busy. Kidney Space continues to see activity increase. Home Dialysis Central picks up a bit and Life Options gets a make over. I'd say Life Options is the one one board that should really be much busier than it is - between Dori and Beth your question will either be answered right away or if it's a stumper they'll have a response from an international expert in a matter of days. Check out the new look at Life Options and find the answers to your rehabilitation and coping questions.

    Dialysis & CKD discussion board report for 1/18

    By Bill Peckham

    Dialysis & CKD discussion boards activity for the week from 1/11 to 1/18.

    The boards are busy. Kidney Space has plenty of new members and as many posts in one week as the last Discussion Board report showed for two. Check out the Renal Support Network's KidneySpace and join the conversations.

    One board closed down - Chronic Chick is blogging more so it looks to be a change in focus vs. a health issue; a new board has joined the list. ButYouDontLookSick is run by a someone with lupus but the name suggests a lot of relevance to those reading DSEN. And numerical oddity of the week: IHD has as many post as DaVita has members. Epoman is grinning.

    By Bill Peckham

    Dialysis & CKD discussion boards activity - the week from 11/23 to 11/30.

    A quiet week (thirteen hundred posts is quiet for IHD), likely due to the US four day weekend. Global Dialysis is moving to a new server.

    Dialysis & CKD discussion board report for 11/23

    By Bill Peckham

    Dialysis & CKD discussion boards activity - the week from 8/3 to 11/23.

    15 weeks of activity, how did the CKD Discussion Boards fare? IHD still leads the charts in total posts and total thread creation and new members. Caregiver saw membership double but post activity did not increase, making the membership numbers suspicious. DaVita trimmed two thirds of their members from the rolls. Kidney Space's data did not comport with my records, not sure what happened and Global Dialysis looks to be rolling out a whole new look - not sure if their activity reflects actual useage.

    Angie's Kidney Community and Kidney Fun had the busiest lists per member with Angie dominating in this category with over 50 posts per member.

    1. I Hate Dialysis 36,281 new posts; 1,928 new threads; 2,657(+403) members
    2. Kidney Fun 10,398 new posts; n/a; 543(+60) members

    Dialysis & CKD discussion board report for 6/15

    Dialysis & CKD discussion boards activity the two weeks from 6/8 to 6/15. All sorts of problems - a draft of this report went live prematurely, basically a repost of last week and I discovered errors in my reckoning. I do this by hand; I have made mistakes e.g. IHD had 98 new threads last week. I welcome corrections. In general these are correct - the trends over time are clear. However, there is some weirdness.

    Kidneyspace is listed as having only 43 posts but I know that is wrong (because I hang out there, and I know they are busier) but I just go by the numbers and that's what my numbers show. There have also been some membership role purging on a couple boards which is part of keeping a board healthy

    IHD reached a milestone: crashing through 3,000 posts. The Discussion Board Report is about 12 hours late today, IHD posts at about 400 a day clip - so even if I had been on time rather than driving across the State I think they would have had 200 fewer but still over 3,000. Congratulations. It's a tribute to Epoman.
