I have way too many posts for the “Find posts by user” function to give me a real breakdown of my posting fequency in the different fora. (No, I haven’t tried it in a long, long time, but with the 500 or 1000 post limit on the search, why bother?)
Any way of not killing the ham(p)sters and yet still finding out if I post more in Cafe than the Pit (or any other combo)?
Not terribly pressing, I’m just curious. If a good way is known, I might try on some good ham(p)ster day. Or, if it is too server intensive, I just won’t do it.
Using “NoClueBoy” as the username, leaving the “Key Word(s)” blank, specifying “Show Results as Posts,” and then highlighting ATMB on the Forum selection list, returned the following response:
You may do this once for each Forum over the next 8 nights (preferably between the hours of 03:00 and 04:00 CST), changing the Forum each day, to discover your overall posting history by Forum
Unless you’re wanting actual raw data, t shouldn’t be that hard to guess. Without searching, I’d be willing to bet everything in my bank account that my posting frequency is highest in CS and IMHO and lowest in the Pit and ATMB and I’m an active poster in every forum except CCC and CSR.
Of course, you do post a hell of a lot more than even I do so maybe it blurs all together after a point.
But in MSPSMSISP, Cafe, and the Pit, that would barely scratch the surface.
I think I rank in this order: Cafe, Pit, MPIOUSAMA, GQ, all the others, but that damn 3K thread of mine in MWIMW throws everything off. Yeah, after the big stink, I wanted to find my actual posting wonts, but ran into the same prob. No current stink, but I have become curious again.
Tomn, that method would work for many posters, but it has limitations for high volume / long term posters like myself who post heavily (750+) in several different fora.
