If you could quantify that statement with some figures on exactly how much time we are talking about (factoring in relativity of course) we could then query Doctor Q as to how much time he has allotted to him in the span of a day (factoring in the average of his weekly sleeping patterns) and correlate that with your data to see if he does indeed have "too much" time by developing an appropriate ratio of "free time" versus "time spent on the Forum" multiplied by some constant (I will suggest using the permeability of free space µ0 = 1.25663706 × 10^-6 m kg s^-2 A^-2).
Until these calculations can be performed though, I doubt you will get any agreement from him on the above statement.

Nah, I'm just your standard postwhore. No competition here.
Plus, now that I'm a Demi it doesn't really matter anymore... I don't keep track of it, at least... ~Shard~ said:Why? It's not a competition.
of course its not. there really is no point to the numbers, they're subjective and rather meaningless when you think about it. but as i've always said, its fun to look at the stats in any case. and one wonders if mad jew will ever overtake Mr. Anderson in the #1 spot. now that would be something.
Well, if Mr Anderson completely stops posting and mad jew continues posting at his current rate it should only take him around 1.2 years. Chances are it'll happen even sooner as I would guess mj's posts per day rate is also increasing.
I must say I was a little surprised (and disturbed) when I noticed I'd made it into the top 100 a few days ago.

You're in the top 100? Damn, what the hell am I then??
EDIT: Number 80. Not bad at all.
i'll contribute when mugs are available, here i am drinking my beverages out of regular mugs like a sucker.
oh and if i did i'd hate to loose my number, but i'd also hate to not have the demi status, thus ideally i'd like: 60040 (contributer), or some such combination.

Actually, it is, as hard as that might be to believe.
Especially now that I'm not just a 603, and will always remain a Demi-God, it's not as big a deal to me. Plus I know you're just bugging me, which I always enjoy. Plus, when you have post counts like myself and mad jew it's hard to keep track, and it's all relative anyway...

Hate to break it to ya, but when you contribute you don't get a free mug - and it's not just because they are not currently available. If you contributed you would still have to pay for a mug, whether you're a Demi or not. So I should hope that's not you're only reason for not opening your wallet and giving a little back...
Hector said:
I don't know how you "loose" a number, but we can make sure it stays nice and tight for you. When you do contribute you have your choice of the following titles:
Demi-God
Demi-Goddess
Contributor
your normal macrumors rank
You cannot have something in brackets beside your rank, but even if you could, I know for a fact they would not allow you to have "60040 (contributer)" as your title, since I don't know what kind of chip a 60040 is, nor what a "contributer" is...
Ah, sometimes it's just too easy...
Do it. We're a diverse and accepting bunch.mkrishnan said:Well, I have always wanted to be a demi-goddess....
So true, so true. I guess I wouldn't know since I'll never be a 603.~Seasy~ said:

i know the mug was not free but an optional extra, but i still want it, i suppose i'd be ok with keeping the normal rank and putting contributer
as for the spelling either way seems valid, Mac OS X dictionary seems to think it has an o at the end, wikipedia thinks it has an e and either way does not trigger a red underline.
as for the 60040 i was wandering why it looked a bit odd >_> damn west wing distracting me. (strangely enough the west wing is one of the only three shows i watch, along with smallville and lost, this not including general geek programming such as stargate but it's not on these days in the uk)
anyway

No worries, just upholding my sworn duties on this Forum - I have to justify my special rank after all...
That would work better with my tar as well!mkrishnan said:Well, I have always wanted to be a demi-goddess....
And a fine one at that!~Shard~ said:No worries, just upholding my sworn duties on this Forum - I have to justify my special rank after all...
This is my 12345th post.
To make it especially memorable, I have put exactly 100 words in this post and made sure that the big letter Q is the 67th word. That way, I can claim that the comma after the Q is about 67.89% of the way through this post. Which means that .6789 of the way through my 12345th post is this big letter Q, making it my post number 12345.6789!
I've probably taken the science of post counting to a new low, but I had only one chance to celebrate the pattern in an appropriate way! :grin:

If you'd like, I can delete some of your posts so you can celebrate again in other threads.
What can I say? I'm a giver.

Nerd. I LOVE IT!!! You're fantastic. I wish I could glean just a few of your mathematical skills.
