Top 20 Posters Observations

[Mathew_Freeman]

Honestly, plain old curiousity. I was curious to find out myself, same reasons why your intrigued by the existence of all this information together. Post count doesn't matter (as demonstrated by the hivemind, cause they don't matter at all!), ahem...

Exactly right. We don't matter at all, and we don't actually worry about postcount. In my case, I just have a strong competitive streak

And this is the only thing I can compete with on these boards...check those numbers again in a months time or so and I'll be there, I'm sure!

What percentage of the Threads are in IC, though? It doesn't seem to have so many...

Off hand, I can figure that IC has 104 posts per thread, more than most other forums have. Also, about two months ago, when I figured out ICs ratio, it was 150+ posts per thread, on the decline do to the rising popularity of people being in way too many games.

-I blame Garyh too, I just don't show it.

Crothian's average is more than doubling the posting frequencies of all but Kreynolds and Mr Fidgit. Also, note the number of hiveminders that are in that list. The only other groups I can seriously identify as extremely high posters are In Character and Fight Club forum goers, and moderators. These three groups compromise almost everyone in this list.

Note that all forums, not including Meta forums, compromise 573590 total posts.

The top 20 posters make up 15.3925278% of all posts on Enworld. A surprising number. I wouldn't be amazed if the top 50 posters compromise 50% of the boards with that ratio.

I'd actually fall into both the hivemind and In character catagories, not that it really matters.

It is interesting to see a break down though. I also find it interesting that we have an obsene number of members that have never posted.

Well, your in a pretty massive range by comparison. The curve steepens into the 2000s obviously, with 21 members of the 2000-2999 posts group, and that's about double the number of people within the 3000-4500 group. Then, compare it to the curve of 0 posts, and you can have a pretty nifty graph. Hell, I might make it if I feel the urge.

hong and kreynolds post very, very much in Rules. And many of the others (e.g., Crothian, me, and CRGreathouse) post quite much there as well.

I'm currently at ~35th place, and at my current pace I should be a contender for the top twenty in the near future.

Yeah; you're just 500-600 posts shy of the #20 at present.

The startling thing, though, is that I made my 1000th post on Dec. 16th. So, my REAL post rate is quite a bit higher than that ~11 I'm at now.

I do not believe that I have ever been higher than #15 nor below #20, FWIW.

Well, I bet Crothian's taken a few days off himself. Remove those, and he might just borderline on 45. I can say I was officially gone for 2 months (end of the IR through summer), and theoretically I guess I post an average of 9 times a day. Of course, I'm still a relativly new person on the boards, never really attaching myself till last febuary when the IR started up and William Ronalds Percistance kept me coming back .
