I’m at 1.76 - I didn’t realize I was talking so much. Maybe I should shut up a while? ---

3.35 over the 11 years according to the stats. Lost some in the long gone “winter of our missed content”. Made up for it over one six month period where I posted, as I recall, more than 2000 times over a couple of months. Pitted myself for that one and tried to throttle it down. ---

About 4 a day for over 11 years rain or shine. That takes more dedication and endurance than most things I have ever done. ---

I’m around 5. And I’ll bet at least 5 of my posts have been insightful and useful. The rest is pure MPSIMS. ---

3.16 per day over 11+ years. But the true rate over the last year is about 1/day day to my spending so much time helping Cecil out and not being here on the message board. ---

5.83 per day, which is a bit up from what it used to be – not surprising as I’ve been unemployed without much else to do for 18 months. ---

I’m at 1.65. I wonder what dopers think is the threshold for lurker/non-lurker status? 0.2 posts per day would be my nomination. ---

> [@notfrommensa](#): > > I’m at 1.65. > > I wonder what dopers think is the threshold for lurker/non-lurker status? 0.2 posts per day would be my nomination. I wouldn’t put an average number on it, because IMO with one post you change status. You don’t even have to register to lurk, but you do to post, so I would say with registration and one post you are no longer a lurker. But… if you register the same day as you post, your average is 1.0. If you register and don’t post until 5 years later, your average is… lower.
