OT: Who Will Be The First
 

Who here will be the first member to post 5,000 Posts? (Assuming it has not already been done?)

Re: OT: Who Will Be The First
 

SJ has a mere 4503, so 497 to go. He will likely have 5000 by tomorrow.

Re: OT: Who Will Be The First
 

When he does, he should adopt a new avatar which takes credit for having done so. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: OT: Who Will Be The First
 

Well I've already got a nifty new avatar...See?

I am going to be the first to 5000!!! Well I doubt it but I like to think so. I doubt I will make 5000 Posts, at least not until SEVII comes out. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

*sigh*

I really wish forums would stop showing post counts.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yeah, I could actually care less about what my post count is. I just enjoy being a part of this forum.

Re: OT: Who Will Be The First
 

To be honest, I never pay attention to post count until I saw that SJ had over 4k. That to me seemed impressive. I do not want to stir up any debate over the issue. I simply thought it was neat that people would have so many Posts. How many other game forum sites have people who have posted nearly 5000 Posts about just one game in such a short amount of time?

Ok, forget about the Tribe Forum, that does not count here. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

Re: OT: Who Will Be The First
 

Yeah, I agree with what all you said Atrocities, you don't find a forum where you have a person stick around long enough to post over 4 thousand times. If they do it's because they are trying to bump themselves up and are just butts. But anyways... I think anyone that just Posts to try to get their count up should be put on Geo's list of 'people who suck' even though that was meant for the vampires, it can still be applied.

Re: OT: Who Will Be The First
 

Don't forget, you have to subtract all OT and Cantinna post.

You don't go to the DropShipCommand forums much, do you? We tend to get into some really long arguments over there. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Not spam, either. This was after I lost my account because of a forum upgrade (and it no longer allowed -, grrr)

Re: OT: Who Will Be The First
 

You all had to bring up post counts didn't you?? Now I want to know how many Posts I've made... way to go!

Re: OT: Who Will Be The First
 

i never could possibly understand why the people at the forums are so obsessed with post counts... like, who cares?

Re: OT: Who Will Be The First
 

People with nothing better to do with their time than worry about post counts.

Re: OT: Who Will Be The First
 

On a side note, check out my new avatar...

Re: OT: Who Will Be The First
 

ZeroAdunn, the New avatar looks great! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Of course I can't see it at the present time!

OK, NOW I can see it! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: OT: Who Will Be The First
 

...Taz is now obsessed with post counting...

mlmbd : 420/72 = 5.83 Posts per day
Ragnarok : 933/286 = 3.26 ppd
Pheonix-D : 1956/772 = 2.53 ppd
Atrocities : 2211/741 = 2.98 ppd
Zeroadunn : 445/560 = 0.79 ppd
Imperator Fyron : 2581/529 = 4.88 ppd
Gryphin : 1319/406 = 3.25 ppd
Taera : 601/529 = 1.14 ppd
Suicide Junkie : 4533/680 = 6.66 ppd

I think I know where my money will ride http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Oh, and ME : 360/376 = 0.96 ppd

Re: OT: Who Will Be The First
 

Well... that calculation isn't quite accurate. For example, I had less than 50 Posts before around February 2002. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: OT: Who Will Be The First
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Hmmm, that would give you : 2537/319 since Feb 2002. 2527/319 = 7.95 ppd http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

Alas... Not quite overtake speed! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: OT: Who Will Be The First
 

Here are my stats:

As Capt_Spoogy from 14th Mar. 01 to 17th Oct. 01:

307 Posts / 217 days = 1.415ppd

As Captain Kwok from 23rd Oct. 01 to 11th Dec 02:

829 Posts / 414 days = 2.002ppd

Combined:

1136 Posts / 631 days = 1.800ppd

*This post included.

Perhaps I should start posting in the Cantina eh?

Re: OT: Who Will Be The First
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">That's still faster than the next highest speed, 6.66 ppd. If the rates remain constant, Fyron should overtake Suicide Junkie in 1509 days (about 4 years, 2 months)! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

By simple algebra:
4533 + 6.66x = 2587 + 7.95x
1946 = 1.29x
x = 1946 / 1.29
x = 1508.5

Re: OT: Who Will Be The First
 

I'm impressed by both of their rates - considering they don't post much in the OT threads.

Re: OT: Who Will Be The First
 

Yep, but the race is to 5000... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif
In 4 years and 2 months they will each have over 14000 Posts http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

Well Captain Kwok has proved my method is sometimes close. My stats on him was 822/437 = 1.88

BTW estimated overtake speed for Fyron is 34.5 ppd http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

Re: OT: Who Will Be The First
 

Let’s see I post at a rate of .062ppd, how long will it take me? About 221 years to reach 5K, if I counted my fingers correctly. I guess I could write a script to automate the posting process………
