I have done a few of these in the General Discussion thread, charting the popularity/visibility/relevance (delete as appropriate since unpopular models gets lots of replies too) of certain models. I did Stephanie Fox, Lucie Wilde and Samanta Lily. The reults of which you can see below.

I have decided to (every now and then) pick another model and see how their figures compare. It will be interesting to see who are the most consistent, and see whos stars fade fast. It is also good to see how, even after retiring, some models still maintain their popularity. Watch this space...

That’s a cool idea, Salem, but it’s difficult for me to compare the stats easily.  Too bad there isn’t some sort of software that could graph those numbers.

Nice suggestion. I can do a graphical representation in excell and save the graph as a jpeg and upload it.

Today I shall be looking at the legend that is Lorna Morgan, now retired but still pretty popular here at the BEA.

So, as you can see, despite a massive surge in popularity around 2005 her stats are pretty consistent. Since her retirement, there has been a bit of a slowdown as she now averages under one post a week per year, but for a retired model the stats are actually pretty good. The poorest showing was from March 2012 to March 2013 with a mere 18 posts but since then it has been pretty consistent.

The excel idea is great, but the data looks a little off: the 455 replies from 2005 is showing on the graph a couple of years early

It's in exactly the right place. The number at the bottom is not the year 2003, it corresponds to the number in brackets after the reply amount.

Okay , Salem, but instead of saying “years” along the bottom of the graph, perhaps it should say “number in brackets after the reply amount” 

[bignatslover]

Very interesting thread.  I should think that we would fine BEshine in a place of dominance as well.

Been a while since I have done one of these, today I am looking at the reply amounts of Linsey Dawn McKenzie the huge breasted natural who had a reduction and then got huge implants instead.

You can see from the list below that the most replies occured in the year from June 2005 to June 2006. Strangely this was AFTER her breast reduction (late 2004), and a lot of the comments are about the reduction. There are a few years with barely any replies, usually bookmarked with years where the reply count exceeded 100! When Linsey came back on the scene (after swearing that she was done) after getting her first enhancement her views increased with a lot of chat about how she removed her amazing natural breasts and then got implants. Having achieved her now larger (and current) size, she is holding steady at between 20 and 50 replies a year but there has been a noticable decline in recent years obviously due to other models filling the void and a plehtora of threads at the BEA featuring curvy natural instagram models.

Since 10th January has now come and gone, time to update the progress of Samanta Lily.

The stats: Posts for the Samanta Lily thread

January 10th 2015 - January 9th 2016 - 40 posts
January 10th 2016 - January 9th 2017 - 45 posts
January 10th 2017 - January 9th 2018 - 166 posts
January 10th 2018 - January 9th 2019 - 343 posts
January 10th 2019 - January 9th 2020 - 69 posts

So, since Samanta's pregnancy boost and subsequent shrinkage due to weight loss, we can see a definite reduction in replies on her thread. This will also no doubt be coupled by the rise in large natural breasted instagram models who now have threads in the BEA, diluting down the replies for longer standing models. Samanta's best year was undoubtedly Jan 2018-Jan 2019 when pregnancy gave her boobs a massive boost.

This is an easy way to see how models come and go in popularity. Thanks for your hard work.

Update for Lucie Wilde now that we have passed January 30th 2020. We can see that once she retired her popularity dropped off enormously, so much so that she only garnered a mere 12 replies in the last year.
