I just happened to notice that kathryn has, like one of the highest number of posts on this board, but hasn't been on even a year. so I compared her posts per day vs. floop, who I know is one of the original members and posts alot, and still, she has double the amount of posts per day as he does. forgive my poor english- I've been packing to move all day. so I started browsing the member stats, and was curious to see where I fall, and I was surprised to find out that even though I post little for the amount of time I've been a member, I'm fairly highly ranked (#144) because there are tons of people that join, but never post.
according to my highly scientific methods,
there are 3409 people who have never posted,
and 6225 who have posted 20 times or less. |

This is my third account, the other account I had - had something like 100 posts. The one before that had 63 or something. For a while in-between this account and my last, I was just browing the forum without posting for like half a year. |

Who were your other forum identities?
The only other account I have ever had was Hordak, who I sorely miss. (And Little Black Francis posted once or twice using Hordak's account). The Hordak personality was really fun to play with (in a don't have a life, pathetic sort of way.) He had a fictional name, job (working for the History Channel no less) and a personality that would just come to life like it was writing itself. Scary. Maybe glacial906 is the fiction? Anyway, the moderators didn't see the humor in Hordak and he was banned.

The site hasn't been around that long and when/before the Pixies reunion was announced, we were THE only site around, so that's understandable. Thankfully, PixiesMusic has filled that need because there was awhile there where we were completely burned out trying to keep up.

It took me about 2 1/2 years to get past 1,300 posts.

I think I owe about 150 of those posts to the old Frank Black Survivor threads.

Regardng the posting stats, I've been amazed that almost from the beginning of this site, the ratio of members posting to total members has hovered quite close to one to two. In fact, I think that the percentage posting has ranged between 49 and 51%, mostly slightly below 50% with an extended bulge above 50% last year when all the reunion news broke. The consistency of the ratio has really been surprising, though I guess the statisticians would say it's what we might expect.
Good to hear from you Dave. |

Me, too. I think it was around when those posts stopped counting toward my total that I realized I had to start saying more.

I just checked the Members page, and Dean and I both had post counts that were multiples of 100, and digital anagrams of each other. I had 4700, and he had 7400. This is obviously no longer true, but I thought it was cool.

It's a sad sad day when you slip onto page 3 of the members pages. It's the Ryman League for me next season with away games at Slough to look forward to.

No longer relevant for me. I have cancelled all birthdays from now on to stay the right side of 40.

I was quite interested by this topic, I hardly ever post these days so off I go to see just how many people have been posting aplenty and how far I've fallen.....
#49
So in the past however long (5-6monthes) I've only fallen some 15 to 16 places. Whats going on?

Really? I was reading a book the other day entitled, 'Crap towns'. slough was quite high up in the top 50. Famous only for The Office being based there really. It does look grim.

I wonder about all the people that join but don't post- do they lurk, or just lose interest and forget about the site? It's easy to get absorbed in other sites- I'm sure I don't differ from other people that this is sort of like t.v. the entertainment part of using the computer when I've had enough work for the day- or need a break. But I've been absorbed in my group blog lately. I forgot I started this thread until a few minutes ago. |

Probably both. Personally, I'm a pretty bad lurker. If I read the threads on a forum, I'll usually want to throw in my two cents on some of them. On the other hand, there are plenty of forums that I signed up for and forgot about, or got bored with.
