It has come to my attention that some have lately called me a statman, as if such a term were shameful. I ask you, what greater endeavor exists than that of statistics? In our current unparalleled codebase, refusal to consider statistics is simply a refusal to grow—an insistence on forking, if you will. Has SS14 refused to collect data? It has not. It crept forth boldly while its brethren remained on the byond hub, with soft and hard player caps forever staring newbies in the face, ignorant and doomed despite their eternal vigilance. Would we model ourselves after CM? TGMC? Are all the accomplishments of tgstation fated to be nothing more than a few gigabytes of database tables and logs, sandwiched between IRC and an eon's worth of shitposts in #admin-auditorium? In order to be true to SS13, and our destiny, we must aspire to greater things. We have outgrown our tgdb. It is futile to cry for mothbus, when our true sustenance awaits us among the stats. And only the application that small minds call 'Statbus' can carry us there. Therefore I say, yes, I am a statman. We must all collect statistics, willingly, eagerly, if we expect to reap the benefits of Statbus.
And reap we shall.
