Current Stats

[+Criminal]

Jeremy, how about adding a table that displays the up-to-the-minute stats of geocaching. this information is now on two different pages. If anyone else would like to add to this list, please do.

 

Number of registered players

Number of caches

Number of countries

Number of caches found today/this week

Number of caches hidden today/this week

The same for benchmarks

[+GoldKey]

Cool idea.

 

TB logged day/week

Cumulative milage of all travel bugs

How about a state by state total?

total of what?

 

[+Criminal]

Total number of geocaches in a state. If I enter a zip code it shows all the caches around, even those in another state. Might be interesting to see how many geocachers are in a particular state as well.

Total geocachers in a state and the number of cachers active within the past month used to appear on Dan's Leaderboard page ... I just realized it was no longer there when I went to create a link to it! Egads!

 

Dan's Leaderboard still shows the total number of caches in a state, though.

Those stats still show up on Dan's city pages, but I also noticed they were missing from the state pages. Bummer. I'm guessing it was getting too slow to keep calculating them?

If you look at the state search page old style then it shows only caches in that state and gives the total that there are to page thru.

 

I think the Sweden geocache page used to have a state by state breakdown.

 

Look here:

Total Geocaches per state are available in the "advanced" state search. Go to the Advanced Search first and drop down a state from there. You'll magically be transported to the original state search page. Illinois has caches.

Thanks Markwell.

 

I was asking if it would be possible, as a new feature, to have the current stats in table form clickable from the main page. So instead of jumping all over the site and to other sites, it's all in one place.

It would be pretty cool. I like taking tables of stats and playing with them and to have one accessable would be awesome.

"Look guys! The ratio of geocachers to geocaches in Montana is exactly 2:1!"

Anyway, I think it would be fun to have.

And here I thought this was "the sport where YOU are the search engine."

But as far as the forums go isn't it:
