Qt3 member posting statistics: Version 3

Everything else
1

Its time again to update the posting totals and posting frequency of Qt3ers. This post covers the Top 50 in total posts, along with the change in their posts from the last report (2 months to the day ago), as well as the Top 50 in posts per day again with changes from last time.

For the Top 50 Qt3ers in Total Posts, I list the rank, then the person’s name, then the total number of posts, then in parentheses are the previous rank, the number of posts the person has made since the last update, and the number of posts the person made in the previous period (June 12 to August 12). Qt3ers who have made 600 or more posts since the last update have their parentheses outlined in Blue, those with 400 to 599 are outlined in Green, those with 300 to 399 are outlined in Brown, and those with 0 to 60 are outlined in Red. NR stands for Not Ranked. ND stands for Not Determined.

Qt3ers leaving the Top 50: Brian Rucker, graller, balut
Qt3ers likely to enter the Top 50 in the December report: bmulligan, Lizard_King

Of the 43 Qt3ers who had both their June 12 to August 12 and August 12 to October 12 post counts recorded (and who didn’t have the same number of posts in both periods), 26 of them had more posts in the earlier period. This might be seen as a disturbing trend although June 12 to August 12 featured both banning excitement and Blakemore excitement so perhaps that is the primary factor.

In total posts between June 12 and October 12 Jason McCullough is #1 with 1886 and XPav is #2 with 1456. It took 542 posts to qualify for the Top 50 on August 12 and 451 to qualify on June 12.

For The Top 50 Qt3ers in Posts Per Day (minimum 160 posts), I list the rank, then the person’s name, then the overall posts per day, then in parentheses are the previous rank, the movement made in posts per day from the last update, and the movement made in posts per day from June 12 to August 12. Qt3ers who have increased their posts per day by at least 1.00 from the last update have their parentheses outlined in Blue, those between 0.48 and 0.99 of an increase are outlined in Green, those between 0.26 and 0.47 of an increase are outlined in Brown, and those with a decrease of 1.00 or greater are outlined in Red. NQ stands for Not Qualified (under minimum post count) and NR stands for Not Ranked.

Qt3ers leaving the Top 50: steve, Gordon Cameron, Ignatius P. Reilly, Matthew Gallant, extarbags
Qt3ers likely to enter the Top 50 in the December report: nutsak, steve

It took 1.88 posts per day to qualify for this list on August 12 and 1.61 on June 12.

Well, if I’m anything, I’m consistent.

3

I hate to disappoint you, Mistah Koontz, but the US government will ensure as of Monday that I am unable to meet your expectations. Unless they got broadband in boot camp and forgot to put it in the brochures…
Maybe next year.

4

Wow, a lot has changed about Mach in a couple years.

5

Oh, please. You’re nothing next to me. :D
#22: Supertanker: 1253 (22, 161, 162)

6

Yep. On consistency…

For at least 4 months (when I started looking at stats in May until a month or so ago) Desslock ranged between an overall 3.11 and 3.15 posts per day average. It became an in-joke when I looked at his stats and saw 3.13 again, maybe inching to 3.14. It fit in well with his “robot” persona. Then recently he explodes up to the 3.37 in the report.

XPav and McCullough’s post counts are similar in the two periods.

Dave Long: 152, 135
Anders Hallin: 449, 431
Supertanker: 161, 162
Chet: 151, 149
Sparky: 76, 67
xahlt: 53, 41
Chet: +0.01, 0.00

Here’s some interesting statistical facts…

Mike Cathcart: 178, 493
SpoofyChop: 145, 453

Remember when I called Mike Cathcart the “new SpoofyChop”?

Brian Koontz: 2.48 (T45, +0.24, +0.63)
Robert Sharp: 2.47 (T45, +0.23, +0.63)

Our posting totals and frequency have been very similar for quite a while. Of note is that we are both highly involved with philosophy.

Between you and whom?

8

Okay, that’s just kind of creepy.

Like the rest of this isn’t?

Shhh…he’s on a roll. Or they’re on a roll.

11

Holy crap, I’m about to catch Tyjenks. I need to take a break or something.

12

Ty’s been really quiet lately, while you’ve been spouting liberal pablum in all directions :wink: . You’ll pass him any day now.

13

Danger, Will Robinson.

14

I finally made it into a Koontzian analysis!

15

I wonder I the 5,000 post mark will be marked by the title ‘Magister Mundi McCulloughianus’

16

Someday he’ll put together a list of the 50 cutest Qt3 posters, and you’ll be number 1.

[size=1]Tom Chick’ll be number 2, and he and Sparky will finally be together for eternity.[/size]

17

Pics + DIVX please.

18

I would just like to point out that I have never made it on to a Koontz list of any type for any reason. It’s a point of pride for me.

19

Number 41, champ.

20

God dammit I was here first.

Also, holy shit, Jason.
