The words that light up Chatbox

While methodically transferring a grand total of 4,921 Chatbox contributions from the old to the new look AudlemOnline, the increasingly bored webteam started to analyse your comments over the past four years.

Interestingly, the word 'Brilliant' appears twice as many times as 'Disgrace', so life cannot be that bad locally. Just 18 accusations aimed at the webteam of 'Censorship' were made – although there would have been many more except we'd censored and deleted all the others!

Traffic (with 211 mentions) just beats 'Fireworks' (208 mentions) as the hottest topic with 'Parking' a close third. Surprisingly, 'Dog Poo' was left trailing well behind.

Looking for one of our favourite contributors, 'Blimp' featured 43 times. Where is the good Colonel? You have been sorely missed.

Fortunately, at this point our steam-powered Babbage-designed core mainframe server secreted in Billy Gibbons' shed announced 'job done' so, with luck, all 4,921 Chatbox posts are safely installed on the new website. And it was quite a job.
