A brief look at some posting statistics

# of people with 9,000-10,000 posts: 1
8,000-9,000 posts: 1
7,000-8,000: 0
6,000-7,000: 2
5,000-6,000: 3
4,000-5,000: 7
3,000-4,000: 3
2,000-3,000: 14
1,000-2,000: 36
1-999: 15,749

Posts from the top ten: 61,598 (16.4% of total)
Top 20: 98,071 (26.1% of total)

Percentage of posts from the top 83 posters: 50%
Percentage of posts from the bottom 15,698 posters: 50%

Number of posters with a special title: 14 (Moderator (5), House Bassist, Dazed & Confused, Resident Gadfly, Semper Fi, Accounting Monster, Audaces Fortuna Juvat, The Great and Powerful OZ, Moderator and Distinguished Senior Member).

 

Well I think the top 1% of posters should post under the handles of some of the rest of the 99% and spread the prestige. They are obviously hogging more than their fair share of the stats

 

Great post Dr. Bear. Very cool, very cool.

 

fun and interesting thread! I've enjoyed my special title

 

Sweet, I make to the top 31 posters along with Jennifer! Happy New Year!:wave:

I'm a bit shy of 5K (<100). I suppose that'll happen some time in 2012. If we correlate this with the Mayan calendar then maybe we have and answer to the . . . never mind. :wink:

 

I'm the guy between 8,000 and 9,000. I never got a title. Just wondering what one might be. (Former Obsessive, perhaps?)

It's safe to say I'm quite vulnerable to being passed (in a year or two, I'd guess), and that I'll never catch the #1, Ted.

And that's cool. I like the "Join Date" even better. Old school, baby!

 

I know....there's fewer and fewer of us OG's left around here.

 

I believe, though I'm not 100% sure, that Kizmet and I are the only females in the top 31

How do we access "the list" of members? I can't find it?

 

I am a member of a couple of other boards. One has a poster who hit over 100,000 posts and it was celebrated in a funny way, they made him unofficial mayor of the board. The other board has a poster with over 1,000,000 posts. As far as I know he has a job.

I hope that quality counts more than quantity. Although in either case I fail miserably

 

Sure, just give us your password and we will post all kinds of INTERESTING things in your name.:biggrin:

 

Well, as I look back at the decade since I started posting on Degreeinfo and reflect on the benefits that have come from my many interactions with colleagues here, I am grateful that I was led to this forum by Dr. Bear in 2001. My quantity of postings establishes me, I supposed as a regular poster, but, compared to my colleagues, I am not a very prolific one. However, I have found some hope with 03310151's rationale about quantity versus quality

 

I'm not so sure about that, Rich. I used to average about 10 posts per day during my first year here. I had 3500 posts as of February 2006. However, last I checked, my average posts per day was about four. So, I've been slacking off somewhat.

 

I thought there would be a lot more people with more post than I.

 

I just looked at my Join Date. I can not believe it has been over 10 years of posting dribble!

 

SHAME ON YOU TED! I am sending you some Red Bulls to get you back in to posting shape man!

I think that the top two females deserve special accolades for putting up with the testosterone fog that sometimes abounds. :-D
