Your Posting Habits and Statistics

[cultcross]

I too spend the majority of my posting time in TNZ, so those who don't frequent it will see much less of me. My stats say I post 4.56 times a day, but that number includes the over 2 years in which I dropped to almost lurker level of posting - the last 3 years or so, my actual posts per day have been much higher. I mean, I've already posted considerably more than 4.5 times today, and it's just gone midday. In fact, I probably went over it for today between midnight and went I went to bed
But as I said, 90% of those posts are in TNZ. I'm not a big thread starter, my 'threads started by' list is mostly caption contests.

I don't think I post a lot... 1,315 posts (before this one) averaging 1.44 posts a day. I really don't start many threads... 9 since joining back in 2007.

Given that, I'm really surprised that anyone even knows who I am around here... at all. You'd think that 1 or 2 posts a day would get totally lost in the flood of posts made around here on the average day.

 

[WillsBabe]

I've been here since 2002 and I have 12,500 posts, which I don't think is too excessive. My stats say I post about 5 times a day. I usually post here, in gen Trek and sometimes in the art and TNG forums. I think I post most in the Who forum, and if I start threads, it'll be there (usually about Barrowman). I did start a couple of threads here in Misc, which are the first I've started here in months and months and months. I don't really post much in the lounges. I can't keep up with all the games threads!

 

[cultcross]

Am I misremembering, or once upon a time on Big Blue did posts in TNZ and the lounges not count towards your post count? I could have sworn there was something like that, or maybe it was just proposed. Didn't there used to be a post count minimum for contributing to TNZ, too?

I don't post often on any forum, because whenever I do, I usually do something wrong (Eg. Bethesda forums when writing 'they' instead of 'he' which caused almost a whole argument). I only really feel comfortable posting on forums directed for my age rather than ones aimed at the adult community.

I do 1.26 posts per day here, Usually in Misc and TNG forums. I love the caption contests too

While we're on the subject of posting habits, whom would you nominate as "Spammer of the Week"?

Just because other people are too afraid to post about their bowel movements doesn't make me a spammer. I'm a revolutionary!

At least my threads generate interesting conversation most of the time.

I have:

• Total Posts: 2,447
• Posts Per Day: 11.82

So yeah I spend way too much time here! Most of my posts are in the 'DS9 five worlds thingy' in fact it's the reason why I made commodore so fast.
I have not created that many threads but I have recently had the honour of creating the new check in thread in the Fleet Captains lounge, which was nice.

I mainly post in SFF, GTM, and Misc. I never really got into the lounges. I had a couple years in there where I was more active at TerranBBS and hardly visited here. But yeah, I don't plan to join any spammers' club anytime soon.

Most of my posts are in spammy-type threads like line-by-line episodes, lounge games, avatar contests, and that epic DS9 5 word story. That story was responsible for me making fleet captain, and if it keeps going on, I'm sure I'll make commodore soon. Occasionally, I'll post a substantive comment or start a thread, but not often. I tend to lurk in Misc much more often than I comment.

Well, in general, you post on specific topics, and in my case, ones I usually visit, so I have noticed your existence. You may now live fulfilled.

Seriously though, your posts are usually very cogent and informative, so I take note.

Am I misremembering, or once upon a time on Big Blue did posts in TNZ and the lounges not count towards your post count? I could have sworn there was something like that, or maybe it was just proposed. Didn't there used to be a post count minimum for contributing to TNZ, too?

I believe the lounges didn't add to the post count, but I think TNZ still did count posts. TNZ did have a 50 post minimum. I remember building up my posts in the lounges just so I could hit that 50 post minimum. We also had a 100 post avatar threshold, where you couldn't get your 60x60 avatar until you hit 100 posts.

Aye, same here. Great minds think alike.

You are correct. There was a time, several years ago, when post count wasn't counted in Miscellaneous and TNZ. This upset quite a lot of people who mainly only posted in Miscellaneous, those that mainly posted in TNZ didn't seem to care.

And yes, there was a time when there was a post count one had to reach before posting in TNZ. That was before TNZ was a hidden forum that you had to ask to join.

There was a time when I was fairly prolific - I would even start threads! - but now I mostly just read. Even when I have an opinion I usually don't bother replying. I used to post a lot in the sports forum but one individual really sucked the fun out of that.

I hope it wasn't me. I think I know who you're talking about but this is the first I've heard of it.

 

[Gaseous Anomaly]

I am no where as posty as I use to be. I can go for weeks without posting now; it just depends on the threads.

Yeah, not you.
