Singletrack Forum Wrapped: The Stats of 2024

News

by 27

Like discovering that your most played song of the year was something by Meatloaf, what you’re about to read might be the kind of thing you wish you didn’t know… It’s our Singletrack Forum* stats of 2024!

Hannah is nearly as good at maths as she is at drawing.

Most Liberal Token Givers

This year we introduced the ‘token’ system, where Singletrack subscribers can show their appreciation for forum posts by adding a gold coin to comments. The user who dished out the most tokens throughout the year are:

  • Funkmasterp – 6,300 tokens
  • Matt_outandabout – 7,638 tokens
  • Kelvin – with a staggering 11,601 times tokens dished out.

Most Tokened Posts

These are the posts that received the most tokens:

Most Decorated Forumites

These are the users who received the most tokens in 2024 – that’s the cumulative number across all their replies and posts.

  • Poopscoop – 3073 tokens
  • MoreCashThanDash – 3238 tokens
  • Binners – 5398 tokens

Give that man a medal! Or, make next year’s token Binners’ face…?

Most threads started

These are the people that started the most threads. Probably good folk to invite to parties to get things going.

  • Zippykona – 91 topics
  • Bikerevivesheffield – 91 topics
  • Poopscoop – 137 topics

Most replies

Who posts the most replies? This is a close run leaderboard – perhaps they’re all replying to each other?

  • nickc – 3,139 replies
  • matt_outandabout – 3,300 replies
  • ernielynch – 3,383 replies

Most replied to threads

Which threads attracted the most replies in 2024? In an illustration of just how little you seem to talk about bikes, here’s the top seven:

Heaven help us at the fall of democracy when our lizard overlords clamp down on political debate. You might all have to talk about bikes!

*If you’ve never visited the Forum, you should. There is a wealth of knowledge in there, and there’s always someone who will offer help when needed.

Thanks for being here and all the best for 2025.

I came to Singletrack having decided there must be more to life than meetings. I like all bikes, but especially unusual ones. More than bikes, I like what bikes do. I think that they link people and places; that cycling creates a connection between us and our environment; bikes create communities; deliver freedom; bring joy; and improve fitness. They're environmentally friendly and create friendly environments. I try to write about all these things in the hope that others might discover the joy of bikes too.

    Interesting thanks.

    Would be interesting to have this separately for the bike and chat forums too.

    I think the main take from those stats is…

    …Matt – you need to get out and about more! 🙂

    It’d be interesting to know …

    – estimated length of annual posting time (aka loss of work productivity)!

    – ratio of lurking : contributing

    – top controversial contributers (posts/comments resulting in warning, ban, thread closures)

    I find it slightly sad that there is more politics talked than about bikes on a bike forum

    There are no politics threads in the bike forum.

    The Chat forums has a few but, if anything they are more current affairs, rather than deep ideological debate.

    Let’s talk about bikes baby,
    Let’s talk about you and me,
    Let’s talk about all the good things,
    and the bad things, that may be.

    Let’s talk about bikes.

    You missed the key point – there are no politics threads on the Bike section of the forum.

    And for someone who seemingly hates the subject, they don’t half keep bringing it up…

    Can we get a graph of the forum/website response times?

    Only joking.

    I’m not sure if that doesn’t apply to a few of us on a range of subjects.

    Back in the day, the most frequent posters got listed in the fabled magazine

    Very relieved not to be featured in this.

    For a second I thought “I don’t notice that many posts by ernielynch”, then I remembered that I studiously avoid most of the politics threads.
