Seriousness Statistics Gathering: 10K Posts Club with a Karma major

nrapallo · 07-23-2010, 12:32 AM

In this thread, Kovid Goyal wondered out load (in print) who the top posters at Mobileread.com were (and so did I), so to that end, I am creating this Poll to:

(1) lure the Top Posters here and

(2) asking them to post a comment indicating their current Posts Per Day average!

At the end of the Poll, I'll try to summarize the findings and hopefully crown a King and QUEEN (

)...

EDIT:
TOP 12 POSTERS
FINAL STANDINGS (July 30, 2010):

HarryT Total Posts: 28,951 karma: Not Relevant Posts per Day: 21.55
zelda_pinwheel Total Posts: 27,448 karma: 138598 Posts per Day: 28.50
JSWolf Total Posts: 19,245 karma: Not Relevant Posts per Day: 14.20
pilotbob Total Posts: 14,908 karma: Not Relevant Posts per Day: 11.62
GeoffC Total Posts: 14,011 karma: 104544 Posts per Day: 15.97
Alexander Turcic Total Posts: 13,265 karma: Not Relevant Posts per Day: 4.68
kovidgoyal Total Posts: 12,337 karma: Not Relevant Posts per Day: 8.99
Patricia Total Posts: 11,545 karma: 123157 Posts per Day: 9.86
NatCh Total Posts: 11,531 karma: Not Relevant Posts per Day: 7.03

kennyc Total Posts: 10,423 karma: 122290 Posts per Day: 31.57
desertgrandma Total Posts: 10,262 karma: Not Relevant Posts per Day: 13.02

Cumulative Total Post count of the above Top Posters is approx. 185,000 posts or just over 18% of the Mobileread.com Total Posts!

About 1/6th the chatter here comes from these individuals!

...And now you know!

GeoffC · 07-23-2010, 03:17 AM

15.71 posts per day .....

beppe · 07-23-2010, 03:41 AM

Posts Per Day: 10.58

With the amount of time that I am spending on MR (with a big return in terms of enjoyment), I could increase it, maybe by 50%. But being loquacious ...

@ Nick. The percentages in the poll results include the comments, not only the actual votes. I am sure that you are well aware of it (as you built the poll). Great idea.

That's our destiny, working for a lazy Administration. May not lazy but just busy in more important things.

Interesting stats.

Yes, the percentages will be out of whack, but I'm not looking to summarize those; just the Posters that have >10K posts so that we can compile their cumulative post count in descending order.

And if they don't make it here to post, I guess I (or anyone else) will just post their Post count AND Post per Day average so that it CAN be included in the final summary.

Let's see, who's missing so far... Zelda, HarryT, Patricia, ...

GeoffC · 07-23-2010, 10:35 AM

Is it not ?

Perhaps you ought to add a deadline ... that might concentrate minds somewhat.

Where's h_t and recluse is what I want to know ......

happy_terd · 07-23-2010, 12:11 PM

I post a lot.

I generally try to greet all of the new people on the introduction thread in hopes that even more people join our most-of-the-time happy lounge family. I sometimes wonder why we all dont do that. I post 50-70 times a day. Keep in mind that 3 of the months I have been on this site I was not active.

I like to take part in every thread / conversation. I try and make my posts relevant to the thread I am posting in. I think that we should ALL at least give our opinion once in any thread a lounge member creates. In my opinion (and only my opinion) it is impolite to let someone's thread go by without a single response. That is like a big "we dont care enough to respond" to me.

I do not like it when people call us high posters spammers.

There is a difference between someone who tries to contribute to a thread vs someone who gets on a thread and says haha or +1 for post count. The exception to this would be the few of us that like to toss zingers or one-liners back and forth. *shrug* if you take that away then I think the forum would be a dull dry place.

Keep in mind that some threads actually call for a 1 post reply...

Sometimes the forum moves too slow for me. This is a very small site but is filled with high quality people. I generally post on three sites and this at the moment in tied for first.

Yes, I agree and that's why under the Poll Question, it shows on my screen:

Code:

This poll will close on 07-30-2010 at 12:38 AM EST

I would agree to a point. The point I'd stop at would be where the post is flamebait or a troll - those I just ignore because they're stupid

The other ones I try ignore is where someone is, in my opinion, talking out of their a_ _. In those cases I'd rather say nothing than to start another heated discussion.

Also, some of us simply don't have the time to reply or comment in every thread. So we have to pick them a bit more selectively ... hmmm four word post thread or what's the question ....

GraceKrispy · 07-23-2010, 01:59 PM

I'd need to post all day long for the next week, or get a mongo boost in karma in order to participate. so I'm just posting (and NOT voting!) and not letting this post go by without responding instead....

I heard somewhere that's the polite thing to do

(hey, I've been on vacation for 7 weeks! posting on a blackberry SUCKS!)

I agree. An exception I forgot to mention.

Keep in mind people that I did say that I was speaking my opinion.

the end is closing on us rapidly .....
