Wow. 10 posts a year. That’s pretty impressive.

2.62, but this is at least my third post of the day so it’s getting higher. 🙂

1.40

It was well below 1 for years, but I’ve increased my posting frequency over the last 8 months or so.

ETA: I just calculated my PPD for the last 6 months and I get 3.90, so my assertion is correct that I’ve posted a lot more of late than in my early membership years.

3.90 but I’ve been here for a very, very long time.

1 though being a first post not so sure it counts…

I am currently at 0.26/ day which is pretty high. I was haning around .17 but two weeks of illness and a month of deafness this march increased my post count. I resolved to try to increase my post count average to 1.0 but with 11 years on the dope that is a pretty ambitious project. I don’t have time to spend here all the time, and I don’t always feel like commenting. I figure if I try to get 10 posts per week in, I will be a) not losing ground, and b) slowly gaining.

1.73. It would be higher, but there was a 18 month period where I didn’t post at all.

That is part of my decreased post count too. I also didn’t have a computer for a year or so there, but still read extensively whenever I had net access.

1.49 and trending upwards. I mostly lurked in my first 10 years here. More active in the last two years.

I have an excuse though; I was a member for ages before posting anything. I could spend a hour a day in GD and not top 2.

I’d guess it used to be substantially higher. I don’t say as much as I once did. Living in an apartment without internet access for a bit broke me of the habit, and it never really came back quite the same afterwards.

It would be a lot lower if I stopped to think before half my posts. A lot higher if I didn’t stop thinking about the other half.
