Right- I've come over all Carol Vorderman.

Here are my stats from the Board profile Information.

My question: If I continue my average posting rate of three posts per day, when will my posting rate read "1 per day", and how many posts will I have at that time?

And show your working.

ish.

Is that really, actually, the working? So that's 784 more posts, which will be estimated to occur on 26th of September? Brilliant! That's brilliant! I am very impressed. Thanks!

I've also noticed that my average posts per day has recently been a lot more than the 3 I figured when typing that. I figure that's cos I love this site so much, and the continual crossover between here and Facebook has engendered a kind of fraternity that I didn't feel previously- this has led to more time being spent here, and more posting.

I've also realised that being obsessed with getting your posting stats to read "1 post per day" is really, really, reeeally sad. But, like heading eggs into a bucket, it's good to have an unobtainable dream, here in the future!

There are men who fantasise about that sort of thing.

0.905 a day. So no more edits!

I have DONE IT! And six months ahead of schedule! I'm, sadly, quite pleased with myself and may now have a biscuit.

Crumbs. I knew I was sad, but that's just ridiculous

James Stacey · 29 March, 2011, 03:07:14 PM

can anyone say "noise to signal ratio"

just kidding

edit .. just noticed I'm on 2.2 a day so I'll shut up now.

I know, I know - I'm full of hiss.

2.799 - but who has the highest?

Dandontdare · 29 March, 2011, 04:08:11 PM

3.644 per day.

Never mind, Summer's coming the average should fall (hopefully!)

Whatever Sco?o registers as that particular day ?

2.270. Not bad for somebody that can go for weeks at a time without posting anything at all.
