Useless SDMB Statistics (and long, too)

The Top 10 threadkillers for the last year, in absolute numbers:


 1. bibliophage     454 threads ended
 2. Czarcasm        413
 3. DrMatrix        375
 4. Q.E.D.          287

 8. Lynn Bodoni     254
 9. Exapno Mapcase  229
10. AskNott         219

It is no surprise that mods and admins have finished off the most threads, so let’s re-sort the list with members only:


 1. Q.E.D.          287
 2. handy           268
 3. Mangetout       260
 4. Exapno Mapcase  229
 5. AskNott         219
 6. rjung           211
 7. Chronos         207
 8. NoClueBoy       196
 9. GMRyujin        192
10. Otto            186

In terms of threadkilling efficiency, which is defined as the number of threads killed in relation to the total number of posts made, the highest numbers belong to users with the lowest post-counts – which makes sense, if one thinks about it. However, because of estimation errors (I did not get an exact count of the number of posts each user made over the last year), strange results (e.g., E[sub]TK[/sub] > 1 – oh yeah, this is looking so scientific now!) show up with these users, so we’ll artificially limit the calculations to only those who have made at least 100 posts last year:


 1. Cajun Man   0.73 threads killed per post made
 2. DrMatrix    0.58
 3. KP          0.47
 4. audilover   0.38
 5. TJdude825   0.38
 6. moriah      0.35
 7. xash        0.35
 8. AskNott     0.34
 9. Czarcasm    0.33
10. bbeaty      0.31

Once again, we re-sort with members only:


 1. KP          0.47
 2. audilover   0.38
 3. TJdude825   0.38
 4. moriah      0.35
 5. AskNott     0.34
 6. bbeaty      0.31
 7. bonzer      0.26
 8. scotandrsn  0.25
 9. Rick        0.24
10. FriarTed    0.23
