With this post I have 636 posts in 272 threads, including this one. That’s a ratio of 2.33. Not bad. ---

3.80 I think it’s a lot lower, because I remember posting a few threads that didn’t show up. Must have happened in the software change. ---

Let’s see…I have 66 posts to…6 threads…(67/7, counting this one)…that’s 11…(about 9.6 counting this one). Pretty good, eh? And if I keep posting on this one and the other 6 boards, then it’ll get even higher! WOOOOO WEEEEE!!! ---

Oops! I made a mistake. I have posted to 9 threads(including this one), so my ratio isn’t so high! :o( it’s 7(63/9), if I include this post. Shucks! ---

It’s probably because I always think of something to say right after I already posted. ---

I wonder what the posts to opened/created threads ratio would look like… I believe I’ve started something like five threads, so my ratio of posts to opened threads is well over 200 to 1. Aside from individuals who’ve never opened a thread, I wonder if there’s anyone higher. And no, I don’t think a high or low ratio for this metric is inherently good or bad.
