I really I'm impressed with how you collate and display information in a organized and graphical manner which allow people to visually see the information so it is understandable. You have done this for years and I want to thank you for your efforts which are greatly appreciated by me. I have a question for you and that is, if you made it into a pie chart, or several more if necessary, would it be easier to do or not ?
Thanks! What I think is most enjoyable is to make little discoveries that counter general assumptions. Some data are revealing, others are sobering and others are just neat.
A pie chart would show the
percentage of a whole, but it would all depend on that percentage you are wanting to consider. The Bq chart does a very good job with just two values to show the relationship between numeric anticipation and actual relative position.
Some information also paints a picture about the BEA itself.Attached is a chart of the start year and end year of all 216 Princesses. The year of most signing into the BEA was 2006, there have been no new Princesses to arrive in 2017 or 2018. Additionally, the years of 2001 and 2002 saw no Princesses stop posting on the BEA. The year that most Princesses stopped posting was 2015. There is a diminishing influx of new Princesses. There are very few currently active. (just a handful)
2015 was due to major reworking of the forum when many users had to reinstate and confirm their memberships. This effectively locked out several Princesses. A few created parallel accounts but several simply were cut off, their postings just stopping.
Other General Observations: (not statistical)
- It was surprising how many Princesses disclosed physical data, especially prior to 2006. The manner in which they talk about why they are here at the BEA were as distinct as each person.
- The shift in the emphasis of the forum was apparent as the general topics of posts moved away from inquires regarding augmentation, surgery, clothing, body acceptance, and support and placed more focus on professional models, morphs, and general lifestyle observations with large breasts.
- The most common topic was regarding breast augmentation surgery.
- Not far behind were morph or sizing requests to determine a bigger or better size. Herbal and natural breast expansion was a close third.
- Only one Princess was outright banned, a few were given lengthy bans. The greatest transgression was violations of the older 1-1-1-1 rule.
- 3 Princesses were into stuffing.
- The year with the most concurrently active Princesses was 2009-2010 with 123 active. After that there is a persistent decline in the ranks.
- When looking at how Princesses stopped participating, only two actually gave "farewell statements". The rest just stopped, many in what could be taken as "mid-conversation".
- There were a few that had breast reductions, implant removals, medically necessary surgeries, etc. The support from the rest of the BEA was outstanding in every case.
