Well, if you look at the ircrefresh.tcl, (the file loaded by the eggdrop used for monitoring the channel and determining stats) you'll notice the line:

bind pubm - * incr_activity

what this line does is call incr_activity in the channel everytime a message is typed in the channel and the bot sees it.

incr_activity is just the way the eggdrop determines activity, incrementing the activity by 1 on each message detected in the channel. So, depending on how active your channel is (how many people are typing at once) this will increase.

proc incr_activity {nick host hand chan {text ""}} {
global activity irc_chan

if {$chan != $irc_chan} {
return 0
}

incr activity 1

return 0
}


The thing to note, is that, when the bot decides to update the activity, (by writing the activity to the database every 180seconds (2mins)) it will reset the activity back to 0. So maybe change activity_wait (in ircrefresh.tcl) to something like 3 mins or 3 anda half mins, so that your activity will be greater when it gets written to the database. (note: .save and .refresh your bot after doing this). Again, this will be trial and error as well
