Thanks for letting me know thats the average! (forgot who helped)
Well now my top 5 chans say the 5th biggest channel is #alex (on the main network page, regular list is fine) While there are 5 channels, or more, of 20 people which are not listed. Now im thinking the bot may not be getting a full /list. I havent been seeing searchirc with the new quit message "this message delivered to you by grayskull" or searchirc stats on quit. I know i am a nuisence, but i would like to know things that are happening and wether they are a problem or to just leave it alone! |

| the numbers recorded are accurate at the time the bot receives them (assuming, of course, the IRCd hasn't tampered with the numbers beforehand). If you're refering to the average users mentioned for a channel within a listing, that is a rough figure of how many users would be typical to be in the channel at any given time (this number may become more or less accurate as time presses on, depending on the trends in the channel itself). |

Probably because it didn't exist before or had almost Zero users chatting in it. Since the top five channels are based on averages, this means that the channel wouldn't show up. For example, take the three values of 3 users, 5 users and 56 users -> (3+5+56)/3 = 21.33, meaning that any channel that averages ABOVE 22 users (like constant of 22 users) would be higher in the channel ranking. Do you see what I'm getting at? If the channel that's bigger than #alex goes from lower numbers then suddenly to higher numbers, it all gets divided to work out the average. If the number is low a lot more than it's high, then it will show up lower on the top5 channels. |
