I guess I have to wonder how a sampling taken over a 58-59 minute period can be relative to a forum that runs around-the-clock. Even should these prove to be peak posting time for the DU, it still doesn’t necessarily represent the whole DU community who may log on during the day (24 hour day).
Can you enlighten me?
The DUmp Diver takes an hour to run, which is perhaps where this idea of “58-59 minutes” comes from.
It “searches” all forums for an entire week.
So it’s not just an hour sample, but a 168-hour thorough survey.
The DUmp Diver is run about once every six weeks (unless there’s a discombobulation in Skins’s island that suggests either an infusion or defection of a significant number of primitives), the exact date and time are random.
The DUmp Diver’s been around for about four years now, and as time goes on and more samples taken, undoubtedly it gets more and more accurate.
