A quantitative journey...

Type in your first post the following information. I'll ask the next set of questions once we have 10 responders.

1) How many posts you have made in the public forums?

Notes:
- Go to: my profile and click "forum posts" in the left hand menu

- You need to reset the date at the top of your "forum posts search page" to a date before you joined. ...[text shortened]... the number of pages by 15 (this is accurate enough)

My answer to question 1 is: [b]21,570[/b]

Is there any point to this exercise, or is it just another ploy to let the usual suspects jab at each other?

An interesting stat to work out is your ratio of posting to moving.
Take the number of posts you've made (as defined above) and divide by the number of moves you've made on the site (you can also do the inverse).

I make on average 0.2 posts per chess move.
Or looked at another way 5 moves per post.

There are not many posters that I've found that post more than they move: i.e. have a score of posts to moves above 1 (they're kind of obvious though, and shouldn't surprise).



If you've got both a high number of posts per day and a high ratio of posts per move .... well .. get a life. And stop clogging up the forums <insert smiley failed>

I have posted 1.6 times for every chess move.

I make 9.8 moves per post apparently.
Why do we love statistics!?

56.2 moves/post for me.

A lot of people feel secure when being able to put numbers on things 🙂 .

49.61796690307329 moves per post for me, as of the post previous to this one...
0.0201539898 posts per move...
at first blush, that appears minuscule, but, i know it cannot be a record...

still a rookie

My apology, Andy, for misreading this promising thread's purpose.

I forget why I started the thread. I guess it seemed like a good idea at the time.
