So, what's your thread-killing percentage?

61 posts. :stuck_out_tongue:

:smack: Dang!

My TKP is down to 17.14285%

Well, it’s not going to get any better if you keep posting to this thread…

After a little more research (and a few more beers) I’ve come to the conclusion that my TKP is now at 99.2%

or is that my BKP? :dubious:

And yet, it’s so worth it for that ‘the last poster was harmless’ thing… :smiley:

I think that was your BAC. :smiley:

Here’s my public service for the day:

enjoy! :slight_smile:

This link is a better BAC tester. The other one is 100 lbs. too light for me.

These things are pretty inaccurate – it says I can have 7 whiskey rocks in an hour, and still be legal. Not bloody likely! I can barely lift the glass after 6.

47/612 = 7.68%

Some of those may still be active, and I guess this is thread 613… so the real total is lower.

Decided to see what my all-time TKP is…

I’ve posted in 1487 threads. Of those, 19 have been active in the last 48 hours. I’m not counting those.

That leaves 1487 threads. Of those, I’ve killed 110, for an all-time kill-rate of 7.397444519166106%.

I’ll grade that as “so-so”.

1487-19=1487?

I’m impressed with your dedication to statistical research. However, you did a fairly poor job of “showing your work.” :wink:

It’s…ummm…new math. Very, very new. As in, “I just invented it on Thursday”. Still need to get all the bugs worked out of it.

Actually, that was a copy & paste error. It should’ve read “I’ve posted in 1498 threads”.

You are still not convincing me, here. 1498-19=1487? Maybe in New Jersey…

Gaaa!! Stupid fingers!

Ok, revised verson:

I’ve posted in a shitload of threads, some of which I killed. About 7.3% of them.

Happy now? :slight_smile:

Well, why didn’t you say so in the first place? :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

You know, it’s not enough to spit out a simple percentage (Not addressed specifically to you, Hal, I’m speaking generally here). I really think each thread should be measured using certain criteria. Killing a thread that only had 100 or fewer views shouldn’t carry as much weight as killing a thread that had 1000 or more views. How about some sort of weighted scale? Help me out here, somebody. What would you suggest?

Yeah…I’ve been thinking of changing my handle to clinically_insane.

Yeah…right. :stuck_out_tongue:

Excellent idea, but one problem – when you view the list subscriptions page, it doesn’t show the number of views/responses a page has had. So you would have to click on each one to get the necessary data to put together an accurate formula.

Nuts to that.

I hear you, man. Too much work. Now, I have never subscribed to a thread, so there is no data in my subscription page that I can use, other than that I have subscribed to 0 threads, out of which I have killed 0, therefore my threadkill rate for subscribed threads is ERR.

I guess I’ll just have to figure it out the hard way. Gimme about a month or so, that oughta do it. :eek:

: one month passes…cut to scene :

Rufus: I’ve got it! 9.896%! Yes! 9.896!
SDMB: Huh?

:wink:

Nah . . . I don’t think so.
