It sure gets wordy around here *grin*

(This is what happens when you leave math-people unattended.) As of about 1/2 an hour ago...

There are 4 TFL'ers who have more than 10,000 posts: C.R. Sam, George Hill, Mike Irwin, and Art Eatman. Category 1
There are 12 TFL'ers who have 5000-9999 posts. (I count Don Gwinn here after rolling in his Gwinnydapooh count.) Category 2
There are 14 TFL'ers who have 4000-4999 posts. Category 3
There are 17 TFL'ers who have 3000-3999 posts. Category 4
There are 47 TFL'ers who have 2000-2999 posts. Category 5
There are 49 TFL'ers who have 1500-1999 posts. Category 6
There are 84 TFL'ers who have 1000-1499 posts. Category 7

Also, we have 3945 registered members who have 0 posts.

I think I need to crack open something cold and take a break from TFL for a while...

/edited to add the Category notations, just like hurricanes or tornados. nice idea!/

Take a break? Man, you didn't even make the list! Get on it!

Only a Category 7 here, but I'm in the top 200. How many members we got here anyway?

BigG · November 20, 2002, 06:47 PM

Category 4. An interesting thing occurs to me as I log in each time. The number of members are up to something like 17,000 but you only see a few hundred or so regular names popping up in the threads.

Maybe the other 16,000 members post in the threads I don't read?

spacemanspiff · November 20, 2002, 06:52 PM

Cat 7.

so we know who posts the most. but what about content. who posts the most actual words?

Country Boy · November 20, 2002, 06:56 PM

At the rate I'm going, I won't be a Category 7 until April of 2004.

Cuchulainn · November 20, 2002, 06:59 PM

I'm in category 327!

The Silver Bullet 1719 · November 20, 2002, 07:14 PM

I've been here for 3 years, and I'm only caterory 8!

Lord knows how long it will take me to get to Cat 7 lol.

GnL · November 20, 2002, 07:28 PM

Increase my post count bump.

3264 users have posted in the last 30 days
2513 in the last 2 weeks
1889 in the last week
760 in the last day
79 in the last hour
(approximate numbers)

Some graphs are available at http://www.thefiringline.com/stats/

(edit) Those stats only consider members - people with less than 25 posts tend to mess with the stats, and it's faster to just compute stats from users with at least 25 posts than to compare last post date with registration date and make some determination whether the user is still active.

Spaceman, number of words is tough to tell. First, it takes several minutes to do get average per-user wordcount over all the posts, and more importantly, many high wordcount posters contribute mainly news articles. Others quote a lot. Eliminating quote blocks would partially work, but there are posters who use bold or italics for quotations, and many news articles aren't quoted at all.

Pendragon · November 20, 2002, 09:33 PM

I would be curious to know how many people have:

1-9 posts

10-25 posts

26-100 Posts.

I think the first category might show a lot of trolls...

**tyme** · November 20, 2002, 10:03 PM

1-9: 6645
10-24: 2046
25-99: 2417

(oops... forgot)
0: 4069

glirette · November 20, 2002, 10:22 PM

Hey now I am working on it

Maybe I need a break from this place

Coronach · November 20, 2002, 10:53 PM

Coronach · November 20, 2002, 10:54 PM

Coronach · November 20, 2002, 10:55 PM

Ala Dan · November 20, 2002, 10:55 PM

Category #3, and moving on up!

I plan to get there
sooner or later?

If you used an actual count of words-per-post, CR Sam would be about a Level 6.
