Statistics

This page collects all my articles on statistics. These are mostly articles analyzing statistics on Second Life. I use the information provided by other sources. I attribute the sources and provide links to the information.

Some of the information provided is not provided in a format usable for showing the information for my purpose. I some times use Photoshop to blend graphs and time periods into a single image. I do my best to avoid changing the actual information represented by the data.

Articles about statistics for other games and virtual worlds are mixed in.
