RF stats: how many active posters are there?

[icehorse]

Very interesting. It would also be interesting to set a few arbitrary thresholds and see the stats. For example (with no premeditation):

- "regular": anyone who posts 15+ days / month
- "steady": anyone who posts 5+ days / month

Something like that

It is a very slanted distribution, to be sure!

 

[Laika]

I am the 1%

And you look fabulous for it!

In the 2+ years I've been here, I've made perhaps 8000 posts in the 'last post is a winner' thread, 100 in the random and meaningless thread and the rest being semi-substantive. It's easy to get into the 1% here - just make short and dumb posts over and over and over again.

Its called trickle-down posting. The more posts the top 1.5% make, the more inclined the r̶a̶b̶b̶l̶e̶ the less frequent posters will have the opportunity to post.

I joined here to fool around and have fun. One day I found myself a mod (what the heck?). And here I am back again to just fool around and have fun.

Senseless and meaningless fun is... you know, fun!

Hi Folks...

Maths is COOL - I just love LOGIC - but I have to say in this particular case - whats the point ??...lol..

Analise it any way we can - the truth of it is so so obvious, we dont need any complex equations to see it clearly......All that is happening is thus - MANY many people have an INTEREST in religious spiritual matters - BUT - not many people have an ACTIVE interest or wish to pursue it ( I blame the diversity and confusion of religion for that)...

Hence many many JOIN a forum such as this - READ the posts but hardly contribute at all - and for the analysis to be correct here - we would first have to seperate and differentiate between these two unequal groups and analyse each indiviaully.....

All it really means of course - is that some people are truly spiritual and have a deep yearning to understand - and some others here are merely "playing" at being spiritual - passing by or seeing what fits - we dont need in depth maths analysis to show us which is which - its much much easier - and a lot more productive - to simply READ the posts they contribute and then see for our self directly..As my mate said - we will know them by their fruits...lol..

I don't know. I think "this post is thoughtful, well-articulated, and contributes the discussion while not violating any of the forum rules" is a pretty good criteria for "quality post."

You are talking like Buddha in Kalama Sutta.

Senseless and meaningless fun is... you know, fun!

Smart_Guy, fun is not senseless and meaningless. Perhaps it is so in Saudi Arabia.

That's another one. . . But who's counting?

Did I say fun is senseless and meaningless?

I only referred to the senseless and meaningless kind of fun in that specific instance.
