Unless we’re counting our posts, in which case I keep counting just over 14 minutes after Jasper finishes. Oh, and for the OP, I found the famous Guy Stuff thread on page 159 of MPSIMS, and it has 1111 replies and 185 views. ---

I can’t top **fobia** ’s find of 1:212 ratio, but this thread has 317 answers in 3247 views: MASTER LIST (Newbies only) (Pages: 1 2 3 4 5 … Last page) ---

There’s a thread down there called \*\*test - Are you there, Ché? \*\* It has 0 posts on 17 views, for an infitite ratio of view to posts. That’s a hard one to top. ---

kiffa’s \*\*Singing Battle of the Sexes \*\* got 0 for 26 views. So I guess that’s even more infinite. (? More infinite sounds wrong, somehow. More something though. Or less something anyway. Now I remember why I sweated in math class.) ---

We’re looking at posts, not replies, so those two threads have one post each, and are thus not infinite. They are pretty high, though. ---

What is being measured? Why is this ratio worth measuring? It just seems to show which questions went unanswered. There must be dozens every week. ---

I just did the math, and Very Vaguely Creepy garners a 50:1 read to post ratio. Yess. –Tim ---

It’s not that the number has any inherant value, mano mayo, it’s just that we’re nerds who like to keep track of every conceivable statistic on the boards, regardless of whether or not they’re useful:) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/greatest-ratio-of-posts-to-views/31601.md?page=1)
