I feel slothful. In four years' time, I've posted a meager 330-odd posts, because it's more fun for me to read what everyone else writes.

In the same time period, Our Glorious Leader Tom Coats is somewhere in the 5000's, and grant and Ganesh are closing in on 10,000 apiece.

This leads me to wonder what the average poster posts, per week/month/year, and whether we've got stats on the activity in each forum.

Also, how much have you posted? Where?

Are you doing your part in driving up Tom's hosting bill?

I engage in what a graffitiste whom I greatly admired referred to as "response therapy."

I need to get out more.
In fact, I probably need to get out most.

I've started 123 threads and posted 2072 times, all in the short space of 18 months or so.

My dearest Stoat is past the 10000 mark. Lordy. And over 4 years I've only poster 175 times.

Triplets

21:38 / 02.11.05

Apparently, I post 4.1 times a day, which makes 123 times a month, which makes 2337 (now 2338) posts since April 04. I definitely need a break.

alas

21:46 / 02.11.05

Since late 2001 I've posted 1404 times. I show remarkable restraint.

Actually, I'm a confirmed member of the "fits and starts" school of everything.

Mirror

00:08 / 03.11.05

Hm, only 230-some posts for me. It must be the case that posts from the previous incarnations of Barbelith have been lost, or not counted?

Or am I really that slack?

Laughing

04:41 / 03.11.05

I've started fifteen topics and posted 300 times. In four years.

I promise I'm more talkative in real life.

Ten topics and just passed the 500 posts mark. I'm a BIG boy now!

Like you Logos – I prefer to watch rather than write. Not in a weird Stan Collymore Doggingesque way though y’understand.

Quantum

08:41 / 03.11.05

Over 120 topics and nearly 3000 posts, I am the the most postingest person whose name starts with a Q. Not bad in two and a half years, considering I alternately spam the board and disappear for months at a time depending on my job.

I'm glad this thread exists- having realised I'm now in the 13000s, and now own a credit card after many years in financial nonexistence, it was the kick I needed to finally set up a PayPal account to donate regularly to the board, rather than occasionally bunging twenty quid to someone who can give it to Tom for me.

mondo a-go-go

I lurk much more than I used to before the last or last-but-one board crash.

And I'm not stalking Tom.

896 posts and 56 topics in three years, almost to the day, since I signed up right after I bought and read the trade of Invisibles Volume Three. Most of them have been in Film/TV and Comics. And starting now, the countdown is on to post 1000.

Hey! I passed the "500 posts" mark today!

So how do we see how much we've posted? Not, of course, that I have any chance of approaching your reverend heights...

Ganesh

20:06 / 22.11.05

I tend to be somewhat seasonal. When Big Brother's not onscreen, I'm usually somewhat fallow. On holiday this week, though, so bucking the trend a bit.

Mick, go to 'lith's front page and click the Members counter. Then find your name in the list. Easy as pie. Took me a while to figure that out tho, so don't feel bad.

your reverend heights...

That gave me a good laugh. Thankyuver'much. At this height, I can just about make out the shape of the sole of Haus's shoes. ;-)

Sometimes it's about quality rather than quantity, remember.

20:35 / 22.11.05

Wow, 138 posts....I feel..so..proud *sob*

Sekhmet

20:46 / 22.11.05

Jeebus. 1295. When you order by number of posts, I'm on the third page, right between Warewulf and Rage. That seems wrong, somehow.

Mick, go to 'lith's front page and click the Members counter. Then find your name in the list. Easy as pie. Took me a while to figure that out tho, so don't feel bad.

Another way is simply click on your name next to one of your posts, and then click update. That´s it.

I´ve got 756 now.

Bullshit.

What? You mean Xoc was right? Oh fuck.

Good tip, Mistoffelees. Thanks.

My posting's tailed off somewhat, given that I was off the board for what - two and a bit years?

Mind you, I've still an unhealthily respectable number of posts up.

11:44 / 24.11.05

Mm. Holding steady at number 23 here. Damn grad school. How I miss you all.
