IHM Data For the Stats Nerds
While we apparently don't post on this blog as often as we should, we always have a lot of things going on around IHM. We've got users always logging in, rating, categorizing and generally sharing what they think of the films around them. All this hustle and bustle creates quite a lot of data for us to see. So, I figured maybe a few people would be interested in some of the things we've found when looking at that data.
I'll break down some basic data points in groups to show trends that we've noticed in the database. While I'll avoid specifics (it's none of your beeswax man), you'll still get a good general feel for what's being presented. If you've got questions, please hold them until the end of the demonstration and then we'll be more than happy to be of assistance. Also, ask away on any other stats you'd like to see and maybe we'll throw some more bones your way.

New: IHM Movieblog
We're going to be splitting out the movie reviews and lists and whatever else that's unrelated to IHM from this blog into a new blog that we've created called the IHM Movieblog (we're so creative). So, if you're looking for a blog about movies (which coincidentally will be completely published and written by your fellow IHMers), you should check it out. We'll be posting news, articles, reviews, lists and whatever else pops into our heads.
Also, if you've bookmarked or saved a post from this blog that's non-IHM related, it will be stripped from this blog in the next few days. You can head over to the new blog to find it and rebookmark it or whatever you trendy kids do.
Also (part II: the awakening of a new beginning), if you're looking to write about movies or would like to join in on the fun, let me know and we'll see about getting you in as a writer on the new blog.
Oops, my bad
Well, we had a little downtime tonight caused by me romping too heavily in the database. Luckily, we were able to smash our heads together and find the solution without losing anything but some time. We apologize for the downtime and anyone who came to our site wishing to rate some movies.
And even though the cat said it, we didn't lose anything
