Diarrhea of the Mouth
« on: October 28, 2003, 08:39:10 PM »
By my calculations (which may be wrong, I haven't had a match class in 12 years), I'm responsible for ~18% of the posts at TWG. I should shut up, huh?



But I won't.

Yeah I guess so. But if you don't post, who would we respond to?

Total posts : 17153
Entropy posts : 1583
Percentage : 9.2% (i think)

I'm the 4th top poster. Jeffe is close behind me. But you will notice, it drops off sharply after spriggan (the 2k mark) and EUOL (hes 1419, the next after that is 1029). Shockingly enough, 42 is the next more active poster. But a surprisingly small number of posters have the vast majority of posts on the forum. The top five (SE, Fell, Sprig, Ent, Jeffe in that order) have 10847 posts. Thats 63%.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

I chalk that up to 1. they've been around around lobger than most, and 2. on the post - lurk spectrum they lean heavily towards post.  One or both would explain it for each of the top five, I think.

Oh, and what's a match class, Saint?  Is that where you formally learn how to play with fire?

hmm...that was amusing. Not funny, but amusing nevertheless.

I don't breathe it.  I swallow it.  Duh.

Although breathing fire would be much more cool.

DON'T THROW FACTS AT ME!

er....

yeah, I guess you're right.

I didn't go to a class to play with fire though, I just went to Boy Scout camp.
