Handy calculator


Since when has there been that "New Posts" button at the top of the page. I never noticed it before.

I go through waves. There'll be a week where I don't log in at all followed by a day of manic posting. I make no apologies.

9.86 -- hee, very temperate!

I'd blame it on being a mod, but it was similar before I became one. The nature of those 9.86 threads have changed, though -- I'd say at least half are mod related (posts in the master spam list in the mod forum, "dial it back, pls.," etc.), because I'm a lot less likely to indulge in drive-by snark as a mod.

0.27 for me. I'm a professional lurker since I read the forums most days.

0.17 - over almost 10 years. That's pretty pathetic.

This is my 599th post. Woohoo!

3.03 Higher than I expected! (and of course it's now higher...)

New posts button has always been there.

We've always been at war with Eastasia.

Half a po = half a post.

Same here. It looks like almost half my posts these days are in the mod forums, so they're not readable to people who aren't on the staff. No great loss for the board.

It used to be somewhere in the double digits, and is only this high because it takes so long for average to decline. For the past year, it's actually 2.04.

I actually probably post more than that, but over the years I had several months where I was in the hospital and posted nothing.

I'm guessing about 90% of those involve a hockey reference. The rest are about drug expiration dates.

.31 average per day. And this is my 1000th post! Whoopeee!

Only took me about 12 years. I was a member way before there was a membership fee.

I would like to say thanks to all Dopers; you are a great group and my invisible friends who never ask to borrow my pickup, but give me a pickup pretty often.

This surprised me. I figured it'd be higher. When I think about it though, I have had a few times where I rarely posted for months at a time. Those times balance out times like now, when I just can't shut up.
