July and Onward
Hail friends of Malinor! I know it’s been a while, but I wanted to give you all a bit of an update on what’s been going on with the GM Activity Project. I’m sorry that it’s been over two weeks without a post, but I fell behind a bit on last week’s post and decided to lump that one in with the larger monthly post I was doing, and include the data from the first week of August as well.
If you’re unfamiliar with the project, I encourage you to read our methodology (we have a new one, linked above). However, the simple explanation is that we want to document activity data and make it available to players in order for them to more easily find roleplay.
Since this update is going to be a bit different, we’re going to have a bit of a different format. We’re going to start with a section on weekly data for the two weeks covered in this update, followed by few sections for data covering the entire month of July. Following that, there will be some month long analyses, and then some updates on changes with how we’ll be doing things from now on. Also, I'm putting everything in spoilers because this is already a ton of stuff.
Now, on to the data...

Conclusions
Thank you all for bearing with me, and for being supportive of this project. It’s taken a great deal of time to pull together, and a bit more to work on fixing it, but I do appreciate the support. Likewise, I hope this sort of bigger update thread was valuable. In the future, it should hopefully be three weekly threads and then one that covers the month, on time, at the end of the month.
If you have any feedback (beyond me being more timely!), feel free to send it my way and I’ll be more than happy to take it into consideration. Hopefully this has proven helpful!
And as always, special thanks to everyone who helped me with this. It's not an easy thing, and I couldn't have done it without all of you.
