Ratio 66.72, I'll chalk that up to my helpful nature and the PSAs that I've posted.* Thank goodness it does not count edits.

Heh, I have something like 300 atm.
So I miss the hall of shame mwhahaa!

I think we did this before where we found out that I made around 7.5 posts per day... doesn't sound like much but when you take in to account not only the the fact it was around 18months of posting but also the sheer size of some of those flamebait posts.

That's what push up the scores a lot, and why most of the moderators are at the top. They get involved in a flamebait to break it up and end up getting sucked in. Especially recently.

Well yeah, most of the time I need more than 20 seconds, and some times I write a whole text and judge it'snot worth to click on the post button.
I wonder the top, if we counted how long we did read it.

yay im not an insane poster anymore, somehow being 11th is actually great news for me. the forum addiction is half cured

Earlier I mentioned my IM messaging being much higher...well my chat logs take up 22MB that compresses to 6MB

EDIT: Note that is since my last format, about a month ago

EDIT2: I just worked out that per year I'm about 900-1000 posts behind Raven...he did about 5000 posts a year, and I have made ~4000 this year (counting from when I joined for 365 days )...it does sound a lot but my calculations were rough so it could be only 500...and I barely took into account the fact he didnt join the same date as me

Isn't that tragic...(yes I am very bored, sleep time)

pfft! that's nothing.. I have to clear out my IM logs each month because they take up close to a 1GB between AIM/MSN/Yahoo

God, if only everyone I knew had a microphone. It'd certainly as hell cut down on my HDD useage. That said I couldn't go back on those chats and checkout info I missed. (with over 3/4 of my contacts being women, being able to log chats was a bloody god send!)

:: shrugs ::
When I wake up I have breakfast, watch some TV, come online.

Throughout the day might do some stuff, like watch TV, call some mates, or something.. generally go to bed after putting the computer into hibernation.

Given my Office is my bedroom, and I've got an always-on connection, pretty much if I'm at my desk I'm online. When I'm online people want to talk to me.

I don't actually know many people local to me, I think the closest friend lives a good 50miles away. Most are clear across the country (a good 4-5hr drive just to see them)... majority live stateside.

So I can either run up my phonebill talking to them, or use my connection. Seems obvious which is best.

Guess it's the luxury of working from home, but even when I work in an office. Tend to still have net access and just doss most of the day away. Hopefully should be able to get myself a nice little office space apartment soon though, hire someone else to help out around Liandri. Gonna be awesome having another coder around.

Phonebill

I would work from home [when I'm old enough] but I would never get any work done I would just watch TV at the same time and it would be slow and erroenous...although the comments would include some humourous comments from the shows I'm watching Also once I get into professional programming I'm going to make my home somewhere to relax and listen to extremely loud music, while coding some nice little apps on a top

OR

I get an uber rig and play games all evening *plots* (I can't afford one now, may be able to then )

I know I have to be up there with the average amount of words/chars per post. Hopefully some of them have been meaningful

It would be cool to find other stats. Like...

Who has used the most emoticons? (except that incident a few months back where someone tried to test how many he could edit into one post)
Had the most # of threads locked?
Caused the most amount of (good starting) threads to be locked?
Most number of posting the infamous "BAN!" button.
Recieved the most ammount of "BAN!" button requests.

Yeah I guess all of those could be dangerous questions as well.
