Time for some self congratulation



Deviant since Dec 23, 2004

Yes, it's that time of the year again. My dear "young" watchers, let me explain something to you: every year I go through my stats at the same date, to see the evolution of my account. It is purely a mix of math and self congratulation, because, really, isn't it what Christmas really is about?

So let's begin, shall we?

2006:
NEOkeitaro has 7,641 pageviews total and his 147 deviations were viewed 15,646 times. He watches 114 people, while 72 people watch him.

2007:
NEOkeitaro has 15,531 pageviews total and their 222 deviations were viewed 59,951 times. Neokeitaro watches 154 people, while 114 people watch NEOkeitaro.

2008:
NEOkeitaro has 30,671 pageviews total and their 283 deviations were viewed 139,124 times. Neokeitaro watches 234 people, while 223 people watch NEOkeitaro.

2009
NEOkeitaro has 50,857 pageviews total and their 318 deviations were viewed 374,326 times. Neokeitaro watches 300 people, while 366 people watch NEOkeitaro.

50,857-30,671=20,186 pageviews this year. (15,140 last year) While this is a better score than last year, my acceleration rate is lowering: I managed to double my pageviews for 2 years, I failed this year. It will become more difficult with the time, of course...

318-23=35 deviations uploaded this year (2,9 a month) (61 last year) My artistic inactivity is quite noticeable... But I realized this year that a good artist is not someone who always produces great work, but that only show his masterpieces. Not that I did that this year. I just didn't produce much :lol: But as years go by I'm more and more ashamed of what I produced, and I mostly write this weeks, and I won't upload that...

374,326-139,124=235,202 views this year (19,600 a month) (79,173 last year) That's like 3 times what I did last year... I actually didn't realize this at all. That's kind of cool, considering my constant absence :D

I watched 66 people this year (80 last year) and 143 watched me (42 last year, 340% increase). For the first time, more people are watching me than I'm watching them. And hell, I watch a lot of people! (Less than some of you, of course... but still.)

2006:
Overall, his deviations received 2,230 comments and were added to deviants' favourites 340 times, while he commented 4,822 times.

2007:
Overall, their deviations received 3,433 comments and were added to deviants' favourites 1,163 times, while NEOkeitaro commented 6,740 times.

2008:
Overall, their deviations received 4,778 comments and were added to deviants' favourites 3,115 times, while NEOkeitaro commented 9,287 times, making about 6.39 comments per day since NEOkeitaro joined DA.

2009
Overall, their deviations received 5,476 comments and were added to deviants' favourites 4,710 times, while NEOkeitaro commented 10,698 times, making about 6.18 comments per day since NEOkeitaro joined DA.

5,476-4,778=698 comments received this year (1,9 a day) (1,345 last year) Of course, with the decreasing amount of new deviations... Upload twice as less, get twice as less comments.

4,710-3,115=1,595 favourites received this year (132 a month, 4 a day) (1,952 last year) This decrease is particularly amazing if you consider the increase of watchers. I was used to new watchers not commenting, but not even faving? I'm pretty sure this is thanks to my awesome journals...

10,698-9,287=1,411 comments made this year (4 a day) (2,547 last year) Here is where my absence is noticed the most. I don't spend much time on deviantART, therefore the comments suffer immediately. However my comments are generally longer, as I always provide my thought-through insight and advices, generally. I tried critiquing a bit, too. I'm still giving more comments than I receive, though!

Also:

2009
Their deviation with the most comments is The French with 218 comments, while their most favourited one is 3R Stock Steampunk Instruments, with 719 favourites. Their most viewed deviation is Wallpaper - Pink Winter with 31,128 views.

Notice how it's three different deviations? I love that :D

So what else happened?

I epicly failed my first year of law :D (Well, not really... But I decided to do one more, just for fun) I met islamaia who changed my life, and my way of seeing it. I met a lot of interesting people, some of my personal heroes (including zemotion, spyed and Heidi, who are three amazing -and hot, but shhhh!- people), I released my first LP, I have produced my first pages of professional work (but that's a secret), and well... Overall, I managed to be a better person than I have been before. And really, more than any achievements, isn't it what life is about?

To everyone that didn't feel I was a better person this year: I am either sorry or have no idea who you are. Please, show yourself so I can at least give you a big warm hug!

Of course I wish to all of you very happy holidays, and a happy new year to every one that feels like it's a new year. To those for whom this next days will be regular days... Enjoy the weather! :D

I love you all :heart:
