    Nice. It slowed down for awhile there, stuck in the 600's but it looks as if its rolling again.

    To be fair we shouldn't have so much hatred towards the man... feartheturtle was a retard.

    We can't hold retards accountable for their idiocy/crimes (its why George will escape criminal charges after he leaves office)

    **Ooops... I let the angry liberal out of its cage**

    pfft those posts are nothing. Look for posts with guests in them from April '05 through Sept. '05, Any that you see that are spelled like a blind person was typing out the posts by throwing darts at the keyboard, that was him.

    The typos weren't the problem, it was the general attitude

    700 Users!

    I'm a bit late ain't I. Oh well, better late than never I suppose. I'm just wondering if it is possible to tell how many of those 700 users has actually posted one message? I know a lot of the newer members are regular posters, but how does the overall posting to user ratio pan out (where posting = the user has posted at least one post since joining)?

    Everyone posts at least one post; I'd be more interested in seeing how many people post over 20 times and for those who post more than 50 times, how often do they post and where... Game and postwhoring numbers do not apply. If someone joins and has only made 5 posts outside of a game thread I don't count them.

    --bornagainpenguin (curious as to what this would tell us about the people who stay and maybe why the ones that left do so...)

    I'd say around 200 folks with numbers above 20, some don't post that often, and then you have some that seem to only exist to Pm the shit out of others o_O

    Probably a great majority of the first 100-150+ folks who signed up, don't post at all, or never have. They were here when the site opened, took a bit to get it going, then they left and never came back *shrug*.

    Interesting! Are the ones who do this mostly authors? This might be an example of the place being used as a faciliator for betas, editors and other fine friends who help bring us the fics we all love so much! Otherwise that's about what I expected. I think there are alot of lurkers or people who don't bother signing in unless they have something to say (they never have anything to say) and are just using the site as a way to get good recomendations.

    Ehh... that's their loss then. Or maybe the got pissed at that featherturtle guy and never came back? I know as I've said before it was an almost thing for me-- I made a post shaortly after I registered my username and didn't come back for almost four to six weeks (IIRC) after that post just disappeared. I'm glad I did come back though! You guys (and gals) are a lot of fun! :cheers:
