The first figure that sticks out in this table is the the 52.02 views per download for bbCode. With that said, this data still gives a fairly accurate representation of how people use the customisation database. There are some obvious anomalies in the data (like the Viewtopic Birthday MOD) which haven’t been removed from this raw analysis. This part of phpBB Numerology takes a look at every type of customisation. MODs, extensions and styles are what immediately come to mind when thinking of the customisation database, but there are other types of customisations too. I hope those that appreciate their statistics – or have a general interest in phpBB and its user submitted customisations – have enjoyed these last five blog posts. This brings to a conclusion the phpBB Numerology series.

Interestingly Anti-Spam extensions don’t feature highly, but with that said it’s probably a good thing if additional measures are not required to keep the spambots at bay. Official Extensions get downloaded in huge numbers due to their high profile, while some of the most downloaded extensions like Board Announcements and Advanced BBCode Box 3.1 belong to the Communication category. It’s worth mentioning that the download figures will not add up to the total extension downloads from part four, because some extensions belong to more than one category.Īdd-Ons are the most popular type of extension, most likely due to their broad nature, with all of the top 10 most downloaded extensions belonging to this category (among others). To round out this series, we’ll look at the different categories of extensions that people like to download.
