Please, no more food exchanges. This thread is for pointless statistics, not pointless feeding frenzies.

Understood Doctor, I'll quit my frenzied baking for now. I have a lot of dished to wash in any case...

Just curious, would it have made any difference if I had offered up pi(e) instead of cookies? How about square pieces of pie (i.e. pi squared)?
 
I just moved up a couple of positions, but now I am unlikely to move up again for well over a year.

I'm gonna break so much ground in that projection. I must have posted at a Lacero-type pace over the past 2-3 months. :eek:


And I'm gonna eat ALL your cookies. Esperanza que usted no importa, bitchez!

Each Notable Achievement in posting and overposting will be announced by an awkwardly-paired celebrity couple reading off cue cards, just like at the Oscars, and then you can come up and take a bow and thank your typing teacher, without whom your accomplishment would not have been possible. But that's not until July.

I need to gain 7 places by July? I don't think I'm going to make. I'm going to skulk around the outskirts of greatness yet again!

I keep having this vision of little cookies shaped like PI symbols.

BTW, thanks for the thought.

Yes Dr. Q. Yes Dr. Q. I will give myself 50 lashes with a wet noodle for bringing up the cookies again! ;)

...but you know me and food! :D

Race you to wdlove?

Race him to wdlove? I think the bigger problem is going to be whether Intel can keep pace with processor series so we don't run out of titles for you! :eek: ;) :D

Hehehehe, race you to Core 2 Duo? or was it 2CoreDuo? Or, erm, Redundium™? Or something like that?

It's a good thing our naming scheme isn't based on new releases of Windows, or we'd be forced to title you Windows XP-N Starter Edition for European Union Customers. :eek:
 
Thanks for the update Doctor Q. I just found this thread now, if you can believe that...

Shows how little I post here these days. After I reached 5,000 posts I kinda got bored. ;)

Don't worry, there will be another one in exactly 1 month for you to participate in. ;) :cool:
 
LOL, I read 5 pages of this thread and have an observation. This place has a more complicated social structure than most offices. There are whole levels of involvement and participation that circle and interact with one another. The whole place is fascinating. That's probably why I check here 2 dozen times a day, and basically keep a macrumors window open @ all times.

Anyway, just thought you all might like to know, that as there is @ least one interested observer / low-level participant on the site.

Enjoy the cookies & the craziness.

Glad we can keep you fascinated and entertained with our antics. :) :cool:
 
I would just like to say that I hope to be a serious contender for one of the top 50 spots sometime soon. I've already jumped up like 40 spots since the last time I checked to be in the top 400. w00t! :cool:
 
Considering I didn't really start posting until several months after I joined (I think it was well over six months--maybe close to a year) I'd say that 1.92 ain't bad. thankyouverymuch :cool:

It's time once again for my semi-annual analysis of the MacRumors Top 50 Posters.

Previous "Top 50 Posters Extrapolated" threads:
The legend of column headings follows the chart. Comments and further explanations follow in the next post.

Measurements were taken yesterday. I've computed these numbers just for fun and to be a point of discussion. The rules clearly prohibit posting to pad your post count.

  4. Cur Rate = average # posts per day by that member over the last 6 months, or for the length of their membership, whichever is smaller.
  5. Prev Rank = previous rank, as of six months ago (July 2005), or "--" for those who are new to the Top 50.
  6. Delta Rank = change in rank, i.e., # of slots +higher or -lower in rank since 6 months ago.

Forgive me for belaboring the obvious, but me thinks that someone has way too much time on their hands. :p
