I’ve recently written a java program to go through and collect the Name, Date Registered, and Total Posts of all the users on the board. A few useless facts about the board: 1. There are 379096 total posts (by summing individual users posts) 2. Average posts/user: 60 3. Average posts/user/day: 0.179 4. Cecil has 60 posts and has an overall average of 0.124 posts/day 5. Poster number 645 brings up an invalid record (Who was it?) 6. Just before this post, I averaged 0.779 posts/day I’m planning to also find out who has the highest avg posts/day, and perhaps create a graph with the number of posters with N posts. ---

Ok, enough nerd-izing the board! 🙂 You’ve brought a new level of Geek-dom to yourself Nerd. ---

Hey, that’s pretty interesting. Keep up the good work. I’d be interested to know what portion of the 6,000+ users is actually posting to the board on a regular basis. -JB
